This event is hosted by the General Conference delegates of the California-Pacific Conference, as elected by the Annual Conference: Rev. Dr. Cedrick Bridgeforth, Monalisa Tu’itahi, Rev. Allison Mark, Mark Stephenson, Rev. Sandra Olewine, and Mele Maka. 

As our California-Pacific Conference begins to live into our vision of Ending Spiritual and Physical Hunger, an opportunity to share in bible study and conversation about grace, connection and service will ground us for the ministry that is before us.

The General and Jurisdictional Delegation have planned a 3-week bible study, beginning the week of May 8, in which we will grapple with provocative questions about our hurts and hopes, the nature of our connection and the unity found in common service:

• Participants can sign up for a study group on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evenings (PDT), joining the same night each week. Main input sessions will be in English, and small group discussions will be offered in English, Korean, Spanish and Tongan.
• To build community and trust, participants will not be allowed to switch to other nights if they have to miss one of the sessions. But group input sessions will be recorded so people can watch if they must miss a session.
• Each session will be limited to approximately 40, so you are asked to make a first and second choice. The goal is to have as many participants as possible. Each session is expected to last approximately 1 hour 15 minutes, although actual end times may vary based on the discussion.

Our hope is that in listening to the murmurings of the Spirit through our particular reflections, our Annual Conference body will be strengthened for our journey together as we seek to be disciples who transform the world with Christ’s love and God’s abundant grace.

Zoom Meeting information and information about your meeting day will be sent to you in early May.

• Technical requirements: To participate in Zoom meetings, participants must have a reliable Internet connection, and a laptop, tablet, or smartphone device that can download and install the Zoom app. A web or phone camera and a microphone are highly recommended, although some users may call in via phone if a mic is not available.
