Even though this is the website of the Dallas-Denton District UMC Lay Speakers Association, it is our plan that, wherever you are in the country, all you need to do is click on our site to connect to other lay speaking organizations. If you know of a web link for a lay speaking organization, please email us.
In addition, we hope to add links for many other websites that have useful information: sermon starters, lectionary, hymns, devotionals, complementary organizations. While we're starting with some of these, we hope you will email us to add your own favorite and most useful websites.
You can link directly to the Dallas-Denton District, the North Texas Conference, and the United Methodist Church websites by clicking the links at the top of this webpage.
