Conference Meetings Shifting to Celebration Themes

CHICAGO, IL (May 6, 2010) – Annual Meetings for Evangelical Covenant Church conferences have begun to change their emphasis from business to celebration, training, and community service.

The African American Minister’s Association (AAMA) is leading the denomination in an effort to bring clean water to the more than one billion people in the world that do not have access to clean water. Your donation will help reduce that number and provide precious water to those most in need.
