Highlight Your Ministry at Annual Conference
This year at Annual Conference, we would like to highlight how churches in the NC Conference are practicing acts of graceful justice. We are asking churches to email a photo with a description of your church practicing an act of graceful justice. The 8 x 10 photos will be displayed at Annual Conference. There is space for approximately 120 photos so please email your photo as soon as possible to Rev. Dr. Donna Thompson, Artist in Residence for the NC Conference, at dthompson@nccumc.org. The deadline for submitting photos is June 6, 2022.
