Update: Due to unforeseen technical difficulties, the Live Stream of the AC Briefing Sessions was unable to be seen. We are sorry for any inconvenience. Please check the Video Room (or see the video above) for an archived version of Session 1. Instead of a live Q&A session, a Frequently Asked Questions document will be available online. Please continue to send any questions and comments you have to helpdesk@nccumc.org. We will respond to your question and also add it to the FAQ document.
An Annual Conference Briefing Session for lay and clergy members will be held Sunday, May 22, 3-5 p.m. The session will be a video presentation that will be streamed online so it can be watched on computers connected to the Internet.
Some districts will have a central location where persons can go and view the presentations. At the publication deadline some districts had selected a site and some decided to not hold a meeting at one location. Check with the district office or this post for any changes.
