PRAY FOR AC: The Annual Conference officers have announced the theme for =
next year's Annual Conference of the Church of the Brethren: "Continuing =
the Work of Jesus. "Peacefully. Simply. Together." (Matthew 28:19-20). =
The Conference will take place in St. Louis, Mo., on July 7-11, 2012.
    The officers invite Church of the Brethren members to join them in =
prayer on Wednesday mornings at 8 a.m. (each in their own time zone) =
until the start of next year's Conference. The officers have provided an =
online prayer calendar guide for this time of prayer each week =
(http://www.cobannualconference.org/StLouis/Annual_Conference_Prayer_Guid=
e.pdf ).  As 2011 comes to a close, reflect back upon this year in the =
Church of the Brethren. In what ways were we especially blessed and =
faithful? In what ways did we get off course and stray from our calling =
to make and be disciples? Give thanks to God for the joys of this year, =
and pray that we all might repent of those places of sinful disobedience =
and unfaithfulness.

site's activities page at http://www.yorkfirst.org/activities.SHTML.  =
Included are Love Feast and Eucharist Celebrations, Congregational =

updates, Facebook and periodic emails to the online congregation, etc.  =
