our efforts to challenge congregations to respond to the pastoral call for ordained ministry be successful.
B) TRAC 47th Session, 21-24 Nov
Protection for our pastors and delegates from the evil one as we attend the conference.
Pastors and delegates will have a meaningful and fruitful time of conferencing.
TRAC President as he prepares his annual conference address that God will give him the words to compose his address as he discerns what God is saying to him.
God’s grace and wisdom to be upon the President as he chairs the session.
C) Sister Churches in TRAC
as our 21 churches transit into a post-pandemic and 377A-repealed world that God will give our pastors and leaders wisdom to do ministry, and lead our congregations to grow for His glory.
