A large volume of information and resources have been provided to us for prayerful consideration as the Special Session of the General Conference draws near. We have brought together what we feel to be the most timely and relevant information needed and offer links for them below. Please prayerfully consider the information keeping in mind Jesus’ response when asked what is the greatest commandment, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” Thank you. ~ Pastor Theresa
