Announcing Annual Conference Webcasts

Join Us in Charlotte . . . over the Web! Arrangements have been made for Annual Conference to be webcast again this year.  For those unable to make it to Charlotte in person, all Conference worship services and business sessions will be streamed live over the internet.  Recordings of these sessions will also be posted within minutes so that all Brethren may participate in Conference regardless of time or distance.  Simply go the Annual Conference News page at www.brethren.org/AC2013  and follow the webcast link to watch. Of special interest to many Brethren will be the Sunday morning worship service when noted theologian and author Philip Yancey will be preaching. (www.philipyancey.com) Congregations are invited to project the Annual Conference worship service in part or for all of their own Sunday morning worship service so that Brethren across the country might worship together. The streaming broadcast can be started at any time after 9:00am Eastern in order to accommodate any time zone or worship schedule. You can also pause or rewind the live stream at any point. This year upgraded internet connections will prevent drops of the streaming broadcast. New! This year we are asking congregations who have joined the worship to email annualconference@brethren.org at the end of the morning to share how many worshipers were in attendance.  That way we can celebrate how widely we have gathered!  Worship bulletins will be available for printing for your worship one week prior at www.brethren.org/ac.  Gathering and Announcements will begin at 9:00am, Worship begins around 9:20am. Detailed instructions for connecting your congregation to the Annual Conference webcasts will be available at www.brethren.org/ac. For more information or with questions about webcasting please contact annualconference@brethren.org or call 800-323-8039x365. Please forward this to someone on your Worship team!
