Prayer Action Committee

With changes in finances, the position of Prayer Ministry Coordinator has been eliminated. But the good news is that prayer ministries will continue under the direction of the president and the Prayer Action Committee.  The PAC is made of of prayer leaders from churches all over the conference who are volunteering to make the prayer summit happen each year. The PAC was responsible for the spring one-day prayer event as well. 

 If you are a prayer leader and would like to join the prayer action committee, please email to prayer@uccsda.org.
