Legislation Priorities

The First Presidency have some concern that there may not be ample time at the conference to fully conclude our deliberations on all of the proposed items. Every mission centre is invited to submit their prioritized list indicating the relative importance of the resolutions by 1 February 2023. Further information about how you may provide your feedback will be forthcoming. 

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. A list with suggested musicians, bands, soloists or choirs who could be pre-recorded locally or who will be at the conference. Pre-recorded (Video) locally or in person. Fill in the attached spreadsheet.
 
C. A list of names of people who could offer brief testimonies of vision, action, service or generosity. Pre-recorded (video) locally or in person. Fill in the attached spreadsheet.
 
D. A list of recommended people to offer prayers, Disciples Generous Response, welcomes and greetings, or to read the scriptures. Pre-recorded (video) locally or in person. Fill in the attached spreadsheet.


Accommodations

Delegates and guests are advised to secure bookings for accommodations asap. The NFL Draft will take place in Kansas City April 27-29 and is expected to attract a huge crowd, possibly making competition for accommodations in Indpendence challenging!
