The Alpha Summer Celebration and our 99th Annual Conference were amazing times filled with God’s presence and blessings. Thursday night’s prayer session was particularly powerful, as we gathered together and felt the Lord’s presence among us. It was a night led by the Holy Spirit. I am grateful to Rick and Tammy Fountain, Tara Bethea, and the Alpha Worship Team for planning and organizing such a wonderful Prayer and Praise Night. Their obedience to the Holy Spirit allowed Him to move freely throughout the night, ministering to our hearts .

We were also blessed to have Bishop Talmadge Gardner preside over our Annual Conference. He led us with excellence during Saturday’s session. Several special highlights from the 99th Annual Session were the Faithful Service Awards, the Licensing Charge, and the Ordination Service.
