LIVE STREAMING AT GENERAL ASSEMBLY

While the General Assembly Arrangements staff wishes all Nazarenes could attend the Church of theNazarene's upcoming General Assembly, the staff realizes it is not feasible for everyone. In order tomake this important quadrennial event accessible to those who cannot attend, General Assembly wor-ship services and plenary meetings will be live streamed on the assembly website, nazarene.org/ga.

General Assembly is the "supreme doctrine-formulating, lawmaking, and elective authority of theChurch of the Nazarene" (Manual, 300). The assembly and auxiliary conventions (Nazarene MissionsInternational, Nazarene Youth International, and Sunday School and Discipleship Ministries Interna-tional) convene every four years, bringing together Nazarenes from around the globe. The 2013 eventwill take place from June 19 to 27.

Pray and Fast Now for General Conventions and Assembly

In the morning, O Lord, You hear my voice.

In the morning I lay my requests before you, and wait in expectation. (Ps. 5:3, NIV)

Congregations of Nazarene Churches all around the world should already be engaged in the

June 1-21, 2013 corporate prayer and fasting for the June 17-29 General Conventions and As-

sembly in Indianapolis. If you are not on board yet, begin now interceding in all services and/

or organized prayer and fasting times. Promote this endeavor through bulletins, newsletters,

Power-Point, Sunday School classes, sign-up sheets, etc.

Two new General Superintendents and other leaders will be elected. Resolutions will be voted

on. Please do something to invoke God to powerfully pour out His Presence on our denomi-

nation at home and abroad. We need His summer rain to refresh all of us. Gods wisdom and

will need to be summoned in order for our denomination to flourish.

At the Convention Center, there will be a prayer room open for personal prayer from 8:00 am-

10pm June 19-24. In addition, there is corporate, worship-based prayer in the prayer room

from 10:30 am-Noon, and 1:30-3:00 pm each day, with the exception of Sunday morning.

Please consider being one of the prayer warriors for our General events.

As an add on: please pray for Gods Presence to be present at our District Conventions and

Assembly coming up July 14-17. Lets join in with our Lords passion for souls to be saved in

the Southwest corner of Indiana.

May the Spirit of the Lord rise upon us!

Prayerfully and lovingly,

Carolyn K. Pate, SWID Prayer and Fasting Chairperson

CALLING ALL ADULTSFUSION is all about merging the youth and adults in our efforts for

missions. The youth have responded beautifully, increasing from a

prior 50 teens in attendance at the District NMI Convention four

years ago to 200+ for the past three years. We hope to see an even

greater number in attendance this year.

One observation made by the youth is regarding the work project onMonday afternoon. Their question is: If the youth and adults are

joining together in missions, why are just the youth responding to

help with the work project? Good Question!

Work schedules may make it difficult for some adults to participate,

but this is a CALL OUT from the youth to the adults to come and join

them in the work project on Monday afternoon, July 15, 2013.

Complete the registration form below and send to Damon Spurgeon

by July 8 if you can participate. Lunch will be provided for you if you

mark the appropriate blank on the form. It will be served from 12:00

1:00 pm. Hope to see you there. Thank you.
