Rev. Sara Nelson, reserve clergy delegate and senior pastor at Sioux Falls First UMC, leads us in our Breakthrough Prayer for General Conference. You and your entire congregation are invited to pray the prayer daily, especially April 23-May 3. The prayer is written by Dakotas-Minnesota Area, Resident Bishop Lanette Plambeck.The prayer, written by Dakotas-Minnesota Area Resident Bishop Lanette Plambeck, is:
"I believe. I believe that General Conference is a form of Holy Conferencing and that you, O God, will show up. I believe your promises throughout the ages still ring true: that you are our refuge, we need not fear, and that by the indwelling of your Holy Spirit, you are with us and work through us. Therefore, Holy and Compassionate God – guide us through this General Conference with your grace, your wisdom, and your peace. Break through anything that keeps us from embodying a Christ-like character and experiencing the transforming power of your love. This we ask in the name of the one who is our Savior, our Hope, and our Lord – Jesus, the Christ. Amen."
