While researching in the Temple Library, Conference Director Susan Naylor ran across two Program for Reunions publications dated 1923 and 1924. "As I scanned the copy, it was impressed on me how often we have come together to make reunions and conferences happen over the decades. It takes numerous individuals to help facilitate programs and activities," she said.
It’s been almost one-hundred years, and the 2019 World Conference is not any different. There are a variety of needs for someone to volunteer to be a part of this world-wide event staff.
Check out the online sign-up for, SignUp Genius, and see where you might be able to assist one time or more. Bring a friend, you won’t regret it! Topic: "World Conference Resolution - Bridge of Hope Discussion"
Led by: Sam Smalldon Details: Sam Smalldon will be leading the congregation in a discussion on Bridge of Hope on Sunday, March 31 at 10 a.m. The document could have an impact on multiple resolutions, so this discussion will help to provide a good understanding heading into World Conference. Please review these materials for the coffee and conversation and bring your questions. Many dining opportunities are available during World Conference. The Laurel Club served for more than 100 years, but has closed its business. We are grateful for its service and ministries, and we say thank you. We’re sharing this information so our readers can help push information out to delegates and others they know are coming to World Conference. This information is also available via the Conference App. We know this will be different and change can be challenging. This Conference brings a new look to the serving line catered by several restaurants from Independence Square. The dining room is available to share table fellowship with friends, old and new.
In addition to the on-site options, all restaurants on Independence Square have worked on “10-minute menus.” These are quick meals that enable Conference participants to get a quick getaway, eat, and return to Conference in the allotted time. Conference attendees can watch for additional dining info on screens, in print, or at the information desks in the Auditorium and Temple. MARK YOUR CALENDARS 🗓️: We will be live streaming worship and events during World Conference. 🎥 To help you prepare, you can test your webcast connection at www.CofChrist.org/live-webcast between Saturday, March 30 at 3:00 p.m. CDT to Monday, April 1 at 8:00 a.m. CDT. 🖥️📱📽️
We look forward to gathering with you online for World Conference!
In the video Apostle Mareva Arnaud Tchong tells us, "Consider the wider communion we are preparing to enter - ancestors who pondered in their hearts how to respond wisely to the Spirit for the blessing of the church and the world. Imagine those who may come after you, discerning and deliberating, pulling from wisdom past, and creatively reaching into wisdom yet unseen. Give thanks and ready your heart for the voice of the Spirit that 'echoes across the eons of time and yet speaks anew in this moment.'" (Doctrine and Covenants Section 162:1b)

You might be interested in hearing Project Zion Podcast host, Carla Long, speak to Susan Naylor and Tammy Lindle Lewis, the 2019 World Conference Directors. Listen in and hear all about what we can expect this year at Conference.  Tropical Cyclone Idai made landfall in Mozambique with 175 kph (110 mph) winds last week and major rainfall and storm surge before moving inland into Zimbabwe and Malawi, affecting 1.5 million people in its wake.
Please keep the people of Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Malawi in your prayers as they deal with the devastation of this storm. As of today, we do not have specific information about the impact to members and friends or church faciliities in those countries. More information will be shared as it becomes available. The First Presidency shared the following letter with church members and friends in New Zealand. To members of Community of Christ in New Zealand:
Since the announcement of the tragic shooting in your nation, the members of the First Presidency have held you and the people of New Zealand in our prayers. There is never adequate words to express at a time of deep loss and tragedy like all of you have experienced in the past several days. And yet, even in the midst of the pains and sorrows that grip all of us around the world, there is the consistent message of God’s love and peace that seeks to be heard in our lives and in our responses to this kind of loss. Please know that we unite our faith in God with your faith as we pray for healing for all the families impacted, the Christchurch community and your nation. As the Easter celebration is one month away, we need to remember that God’s faithfulness will always seek to bring healing and new life out of suffering and tragedies we all face. This is the hope we hold on to for you and for the people of New Zealand. Though we are a long distance from you, we are united with you in our prayers, our hope, and our love and faith. May each of you encounter moments of peace and blessings from our love and from God’s presence that abides. With prayerful thoughts, The First Presidency |
