The Methodist Foundation for Arkansas' annual Bishops’ Club Luncheon celebrated its 40th year on Friday, May 15, 2026, at Camp Aldersgate in Little Rock. More than 150 attendees gathered to hear keynote speaker Sonya Schmidt Murphy, executive director of Camp Aldersgate, and to celebrate how club members' dues are used for Arkansas, for good.
The Foundation announced a fourth feeding ministry hub, this one in West Memphis, to be funded by Bishops' Club memberships. It will join Bishops' Club-supported feeding hubs in Crossett, Mountain Home, and Arkadelphia that seek to meet the nourishment needs of multi-county areas in Arkansas where food insecurity is highest.
