LIVING THE PROMISES — ONE DAY AT A TIME
With just FIVE WEEKS to go, practical preparations for the convention are gathering pace.
Our convention is a wonderful opportunity to put our theme, “Living the Promises,” into action. Service is at the heart of our fellowship, and we need volunteers to help make this convention special for everyone.
There are lots of ways to get involved, including:

🙏 Marathon meeting secretaries
🪑 Ushers to help seat attendees and signal the start of meetings
Whether you can spare an hour or help for longer, every contribution makes a difference. You don’t need experience — just a willingness to be of service!
