GC2016 60 Days Prayer Workshop
Rev. Tom Albin, Dean of the Upper Room & Ecumenical Relations hosted a 60 Days of Prayer Workshop at FUMC-ABQ on Saturday & Sunday, Feb. 20 & 21st. The workshop began with a discussion of a verse of scripture. What words or phrases stuck out? What parts brought an emotional response and why? What imagery or invitation was offered? We acknowledged that General Conference 2016 is bound to be as loud and contentious as General Conferences past. Participants shared images of blood, hope rising up, bridges between factions, what it means to be sisters & brothers, and allowing God's grace to finally move through what divides us.
We then were instructed on how to make prayer beads that will be given to Delegates and leaders who will be involved in GC2016. Rev. Eddie Rivera, Clergy GC Delegate was in attendance and the group blessed him as he prepares to enter into this difficult, but much needed work ahead.
The NM Conference Prayer Vigil date is Wednesday, April 27th. Individuals, groups and churches can pray any creative way they would like. Multiple sign-ups per slot is fine.
