United Methodist Women has a unique and important place at General Conference and in the church and world.
"O God, it is because you gave us hearts for honoring life that we pause at this time of challenge and promise before and during the days of General Conference in Portland, Oregon, to be still and listen: to one another's stories of fear, hurt and hope; to your call to justice and love; to your Spirit of Compassion within.
May we hold each other in compassion, gentleness and courage as we discern your creative, life-giving ways toward understanding and union so that all people, all beings can thrive and share in the wonder and beauty of our communal life on this exquisite blue marble of a planet. Amen."
— Prayer for General Conference, Pat Hoerth, deaconess and member of United Methodist Women
