 In his Annual Conference Offering letter to the Members of the West Ohio Annual Conference on February 3, Bishop Palmer asked that a "Sunday to Save Lives" be held in each and every church in our conference between Ash Wednesday and Pentecost.

To help you promote there's a new graphic available (seen here on the left) along with posters, bulletin inserts, postcards and more in the Box at www.inmohio.org. There are new videos available too!
