JEKYLL ISLAND, Georgia--Nearly 600 WCG members attended the first regional conference of the new year Friday, Jan. 12, to Sunday, Jan. 14.
Meetings took place in the Jekyll Convention Center. This year's conference offered worship, instruction and time for fellowship. Many renewed old acquaintances and made new friends during the weekend.
The conference started Friday at 2 p.m. with a session for pastors and wives from the three districts, Florida (Bob Persky, superintendent), Mid-Atlantic (Keith Brittain) and Southeast (Al Barr).
The conference was filled with inspiring praise and worship throughout the weekend. Presentations were given by Dan Rogers, superintendent of ministers, on disciple-making, stewardship and the meaning of communion, along with open forums and a presentation by Pastor General Joseph Tkach titled "Do You See What I See?"
Saturday breakout sessions included youth ministry, women in ministry and conflict resolution.
On Sunday, Carn Catherwood and Curtis May spoke on reconciliation.
The conference concluded with a worship service and nearly 500 taking communion.
