General Conference Begins This Week

General Conference for The United Methodist Church begins this week. Over 1000 delegates from all over the world gather to decide the direction for our denomination. Issues of church legislature, polity, a new hymnal, evangelism, missions and social justice, as well as finances will all be discussed. Both laity and clergy are voting delegates. Please keep General Conference in your prayers. What happens on this large scale does ripple out to touch on all local churches.
