This week, we invite your church to join the conference in praying for the events of the ACC Fall Assembly Weekend. Pray that the Leadership Resource Day, Multi-generation Women's Banquet and Annual Assembly would be great opportunities to learn, grow, share and experience God's love alongside our fellow conference-members. 

 Have a prayer request to share with the conference? Email brookm@atlanticcoastconference.net to share.

The ACC office is looking for a few volunteers to help update the conference's website. If you are familiar with WordPress and would enjoy teaching and helping staff to make a few changes or providing occasional support for website issues, please contact Brook Musselman at the ACC office. 

Registration is still open for the 2014 Leadership Resource Day on October 24. The day will feature sessions by author and speaker Ruth Haley Barton on Pursuing God's Will Together: A Discernment Practice for Groups.

For our Mennonite World Conference Assembly 2015 we are seeking workshops and seminars that challenge, inspire and unite the church as a global peace church for mission and faithful witness. 

The theme for the Assembly is Walking with God. We are looking for tobics and workshop leaders that reflect the cultural and linguistic diversity of our global communion and are interactive, dynamic, and interesting to a broader audience. In addition to the theological and historical workshops, we are particularly interested in including cultural or creative workshops and stories of lived experience.
