The resources on this page are not part of the Annual Conference worship sessions.
The Annual Conference worship team is providing a Conference-wide worship resource to be used on Sunday, June 14, 2020. In this time of anxiety and uncertainty, won’t it be refreshing to worship together in our own settings using the same resources and be one united voice of courage and hope in our communities as we praise the One who can relieve us all of our anxieties? Questions about the resource may be directed to Rev. Melissa Rynders, at .
