Welcome to Charlotte

A Prayer for General Conference

Almighty God, on the day of Pentecost, your Holy Spirit descended and gave voice and power to the church birthed by the suffering, death, and resurrection of your Son, Jesus Christ. Hear us as we pray for this part of your family, The United Methodist Church. Grace the General Conference with your presence and power. Where there is any dissension, bring unity; any confusion, clarity of mission; any fear, a holy boldness to seek and do your will. Bless and be with the delegates and all who are present, giving them strength of body and purpose, discerning spirits, and open hearts, that by their actions and decisions, the United Methodist movement may be renewed in our commitment to your mission of “making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.” We pray this in the name of the Lord of the Church, the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
