Candice's Comments

Every two years Disciples from the United States and Canada gather in General Assembly. I am grateful that Capitol Hill values this opportunity by setting aside resources and sending me to General Assembly.

You might liken the Assembly to a recipe that takes on a little different character depending on the individual experiencing it. All the ingredients are necessary for full flavor but you can adjust to your interests and tastes and take home a rich dish of knowledge and experience to use, following this recipe:

• • Place a big heaping helping of learning in the bowl 
  • Add an overflowing cup of worship
  •  Throw in a dash of fellowship 
  • Splash a bit of business in 
  • Add mission spice to taste  
  • Mix well 

With the wonderful stirring of the Spirit, blend all these worships, learning groups, business, mission and fellowship together for a full-bodied, tasty treat, a one-of-a-kind experience of Church. Disciples will gather July 13-17 in Orlando, Florida for the 2013 General Assembly. General Minister and President Sharon Watkins shares the letter below about the theme of the Assembly “Lord, Teach Us to Pray."

Prayerful Blessings,

Candice
