Each year at the Conference Sessions a Prayer Room has been provided. It was observed that is would be good to have someone present to provide support and hospitality to those who enter. This servant may be called upon to pray for a specific need, to listen, to offer comfort or just quietly stand by and wait on the Spirit. *Your schedule, instructions, and guidelines can be picked up at the Hospitality Table at Annual Conference. Please call Naomi Walker at 609-313-8961 or email at walkerrn(at)comcast.net. if you have any questions.
