A Call for General Conference Intercessory

Dear Saints,

As we prepare for the General Conference I have asked around the Zion for individuals to offer Prayers for this Gathering. You know the significance of this Conference and urge all of us to be prayerfully optimistic as we prepare for Mobile. In the weeks to come we will share other prayers and a 40 day Calendar leading up to the conference has been prepared by our Prayer Team and will be distributed. The Prayer Coordinators of many of our churches will have 1st Friday Prayer Conference calls and other opportunities for us to unite in Prayer. We are asking throughout the Church to form Prayer groups to intercede for the success and blessings for this Conference. Please maximize all efforts to share hope, blessings and expectancy for this General Conference and all of the candidates and decisions to be made for the future of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church.

In His Service,

Dr. Jerome McNeil, Jr.

Denominational Prayer Coordinator

... and an Intercessory Prayer

Loving and Compassionate God,

We pray that every person present in attendance at the 2010 General Conference of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church will experience the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same. We acknowledge O God that it is in you that we live and move and have our very being. May your spirit of peace and abide within us and throughout the atmosphere as delegates and leaders deliberate and legislate resolutions and practices which will strengthen our Zion. Give those who have been delegated the responsibility of electing leaders of our Church discernment, conviction and guidance as they cast their vote for those who share the enthusiasm and commitment to strengthen, empower and equip the Church to fulfill your mission in the Universe. In the name of the One who created us, sustains us and redeems us. Amen!

Dr. Willa Ross
