The General Conference of The United Methodist Church (UMC) is a quadrennial (every four years) gathering of clergy and lay delegates who have been elected by their Annual Conference to make important decisions for the denomination. It is the only body that can set official policy for the United Methodist Church. An updated version of The Book of Discipline is published after each quadrennial gathering. From April 23 to May 3, a total of 862 delegates from across the world will gather in Charlotte, NC to participate in General Conference 2024. Will join us in praying over these delegates?

Dear God: we pray for our elected delegates to General Conference, for their safe travels, and for their prayerful discernment and decision-making at this important gathering. We pray that, in all things, their work will bring honor and glory to your name and help us in our mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Amen.
