“Join us in Charlotte...over the Web!” says an invitation from the
Conference Office. For church members who cannot attend the 2013 Annual
Conference in person, arrangements are being made for significant
portions to be webcast again this year. The links to webcasts will be
found at at www.brethren.org/AC2013 during and after the Annual Conference takes place from June 29-July 3.
All Annual Conference worship services and business sessions will be
streamed live over the Internet, with recordings of these sessions to
also be posted so that all Brethren may participate regardless of time
or distance. Also to be webcast is the concert by the La Verne Church of
the Brethren Sanctuary Choir on the opening evening of the Conference.
Of special interest to many Brethren will be the Sunday morning
worship service starting at 9 a.m. (eastern time) on June 30, when noted
theologian and author Philip Yancey will preach. Congregations are
invited to project the Annual Conference worship service during their
own morning worship service that Sunday, so that Brethren across the
country may worship together. The streaming broadcast is designed to be
started at any time after 9 a.m. eastern time, in order to accommodate
any time zone or worship schedule. Viewers will be able to pause or
rewind the live stream at any point. This year, the Conference will have
an upgraded Internet connection that will prevent drops of the live
streaming.
New this year, the Conference Office requests congregations who join
the worship service on Sunday morning June 30 to send an e-mail to annualconference@brethren.org
at the end of the morning giving the number of worshipers who were in
attendance. The Conference will then be able to celebrate how many
Brethren worshiped together from across the country, and even in other
nations.
The Sunday morning worship bulletins will be available a week prior to the service, download from www.brethren.org/ac. Also at that website will be detailed instructions for connecting
your congregation to the Annual Conference webcasts. For more
information or questions about Conference webcasting contact annualconference@brethren.org or call 800-323-8039 ext. 365.
