The
United Methodist Church’s General Conference (our church's top legislative body) gathers
in Portland, OR May 10-20 for its quadrennial meeting.
I invite you to join me and other United Methodists in
surrounding our delegates, Bishops, and other church leaders with prayer as
they prepare to listen to one another, discern God’s will for the United
Methodist Church, and make decisions that will guide our church around the
world in fulfilling our purpose.
Please
join me in praying…
--For
God’s will, God’s way, and God’s timing to reign supreme in all that is said
and done.
--For
the delegates to receive a renewed vision for God for the UMC both in the USA
and around the world
--For
the safety and security of the 864 delegates and assistants who will be present
--For
the discussions and conversations over controversial subjects would be carried
out in a civil manner that respects and honors God in all ways and in all
persons
--For
the Holy Spirit to fill the convention center and guide each delegate in their
deliberations
