Bishop Shelton: The Power of Resurrection
April 17, 2025
Bishop Connie Mitchell Shelton invites you to hear again the powerful story from John’s Gospel—a story of locked doors, deep fear, and the Risen Christ who speaks peace and breathes the Holy Spirit into his followers. May this Easter be a holy reminder that resurrection breaks every chain and gives peace to all who are injured, traumatized, and oppressed.
Prayers for Unity
In this season, we’re reminded of our call to unity. We offer these videos each day this week where clergy from our conference share brief prayers for peace, understanding, and guidance.
Commit to a faithful, intentional prayer life this year, using Pray As You Go as a daily framework.
Local churches equipped to be hospitable places for anyone whose church has closed or disaffiliated.
