Redesign of the Parish and Community Development Committee/Health and Wellness Website

The Mississippi Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church Parish and Community Development Committee and Health and Wellness is pleased to announce the launching of our redesigned website. Our new site has been redesigned with a fresh new look and has been updated with current information to better meet the needs of members and others in the Internet community. We sought to make the site well-organized, visually helpful, and uncluttered, so that access to our content would be quick, easy, intuitive and enjoyable. The improved organization of the site is supported by navigation that stays with you throughout the site. The top navigation bar shows you the main sections of our site and will always be there. The side navigation shows you the contents of the particular section that you are in, and stays with you throughout that section. As a result, you will always know where you are in relation to the whole site. If you want to see what resources we have, just click on the Links button. You can find numerous resources there. It is now easier to see what events, meetings or conferences we have coming up by clicking on the Calendar button. Brochures for upcoming events are beneath the calendar and may be downloaded with the click of a mouse.

Obviously, any redesign involves an improved graphic look for the site, and ours is no different. We hope that you will find the look cleaner, more consistent, and more integrated. Our redesign project was not solely about updating the look of the site. We hope that all of the features, together with the improved look, combine to provide you an enjoyable and edifying experience on our site. Your comments and suggestions for strengthening our communications through this website are encouraged and welcome! If you experience any problems using the new website or if you have any suggestions, please contact Angela at angela@mississippi-umc.org. With your help, we can all benefit.

In order to get to the site, go to www.mississippi-umc.org and click on the “Ministries” dropdown menu, click on “Congregational Development.”
