   “To show increase in attendance one year is good news. To show it for two
   years in a row is a trend. To show it three years in a row is a pattern. And
   after that, it will mark culture change in the conference.” — The Rev. Jim
   Ozier, director for new church development and congregational transformation
   in the North Texas Conference.

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) — Membership and attendance numbers provided during
   the recent annual conferences in the United States did not reverse the

   something different afoot. For the most part, the trend of decline continues
   in the three measured categories — membership, worship and Sunday school
   attendance. However, activity within and aside from those categories shows
   that conferences are trying new initiatives to connect with unreached
   communities.
