Dear Friends:
Beginning this week and continuing through February 2019, the UMCprays.org website will provide a weekly post encouraging you to pray to for our church and its leaders. Each weekly post will include names of delegates, bishops, and others who will be representing us at the special session of General Conference.
Click here and watch the video where Bishop Debra Wallace-Padgett offers an explanation of this prayer movement.
