Members of the Methodist Foundation for Arkansas Bishops’ Club gathered Friday, May 16, 2025, at Camp Aldersgate in Little Rock. They were pleased to hear from keynote speaker The Honorable Mark Leverett, who serves as State District Judge for District 31, Little Rock 3, but who received the invitation to address the Bishops’ Club primarily because of another leadership role he holds: Chair of the Oscar Washington Jr. Educational Fund.
This year the Bishops’ Club continued to make an impact in hunger relief ministries within Arkansas: Feeding ministry hubs in South Arkansas (Crossett) and North Central Arkansas (Mountain Home) received the funds generated by Bishops’ Club memberships, enabling these organizations to continue meeting needs for those who face food insecurity across multiple counties in the state.
The Foundation presented luncheon attendees with a choice of two gifts, both of which commemorated the recent Clergy International Study Cohort journey through Greece and Turkey: a bottle of Greek olive oil or a handmade Turkish trivet.
