LaNella Out of the Office for General ConferenceNative American United Women in Faith made these lovely beaded pins for everyone at General Conference to remind us that they are praying for us. I have the honor of being a member of the NC Conference delegation to General Conference. The conference is April 23rd thru May 3rd in Charlotte, NC. Additionally, I have some support responsibilities for the Judicial Council of the United Methodist Church which always meets immediately before General Conference. I will leave for Charlotte on April 18th. I will continue to check emails and voicemails while away. Additionally, I will send out the newsletter The Steeple and the Preparation for Worship. I solicit your prayers for the conference. I also ask that you pray for smooth sailing in my absence. Blessings and peace, |
