Holston clergy and laity are invited to be part of a prayer vigil during the upcoming General Conference and can sign-up to pray in 30-minute segments the 48 hours prior to General Conference as well as throughout General Conference. To signup click here or click the sign-up button at the bottom of the post.
 

During your designated time, please find a quiet place at your home or church to pray. The theme “And Know That I Am God" is from Psalm 46.
