World Conference Ministry Our worship services at World Conference 2023 will be a mix of in-person and pre-recorded ministries. This gives us the opportunity to have more participation from all fields of the Church. We hope that by pre-recording several elements of worship, we can engage people who do not have the opportunity to come to Independence. Here are few requests for which the help of the mission centers is requested: The deadline for our responses is December 1, 2022. Send the list and photos/videos to Karin Peter of the World Conference Worship Planning Team: kpeter@cofchrist.org. A. Photos or short videos of the communion emblems being prepared. B.
