Eastern PA Conference of the UMCAnnual Conference 2019
2019 Conference to explore ministry of generations
Worship to celebrate ageless wisdom of Psalms
By John W. Coleman
We will not hide them from their children;
we will tell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,
and the wonders that he has done. —Psalm 78:4
“Tell to the Coming Generation,” from Psalm 78:4, is the theme Bishop Peggy Johnson has chosen for the 2019 Annual Conference, which returns to the Expo Center in Oaks, Pa, June 13-15. But the session’s program may be more about listening to the voices of that generation that is both coming and already arrived.
Much of the focus, inspired by wisdom from the Psalms, will be on evangelism, including teaching and being taught by the millennial generation and by all generations.
The opening worship service, June 13, will center on Psalm 145:3-4
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
his greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall laud your works to another,
and shall declare your mighty acts.
