Fri., October 1, 2021, 6 am - 5 pm via Zoom
All are invited to join anytime during the day to pray for the Conference's three Task Forces and the Ordination and Commissioning Class of 2021.
Prayer leaders will be hourly (see list below).
Several churches will be open for prayer (see list below).
When we pray, we join an ongoing conversation that began with the Divine Word who spoke all things into existence and continues to breathe re-creation and transformation into our lives. When we fast, we pray in solidarity with the hungry and our attention is focused on the One who wills that all those who hunger should be fed, who has provided in abundance; and we sharpen our appetite for the things of heaven.
