General Conference: top policy-making body of The United Methodist Church. Convening: May 10-20, 2016 in Portland, Oregon

Two Dakotas delegates will join other United Methodists from around the world in making decisions that impact our denomination.

Every annual conference has been invited to host a 24-hour prayer vigil before General Conference. Dakotas vigil: March 24

Join our church in praying from ______ to ______ on March 24.

Sample prayer for vigil

Almighty and gracious God, as we prepare for General Conference in Portland, have mercy on your church, troubled and divided.

Pour out your heavenly blessings; redeem, restore and remold your church until we are made new, that we may be one in Christ for the sake of the world.

Instill within delegates humble hearts and discerning minds that hunger and thirst for your righteousness and justice, and your vision for our future.

Through the decisions and spirit of General Conference, renew in the whole church a passionate longing for the coming of your kingdom…

…and unite us in one mission: to reach and make new disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Amen.
