From July 6-9, about 500 delegates and leaders from Brethren in Christ (BIC) churches across North America will be gathering for General Conference 2012 in Ontario, California. Not everyone can be there in person, so BIC Communications is working to bring GC 2012 to you! Here are a few ways you can participate in the upcoming time of fellowship, discussion, and worship:
Agenda

Call to prayer
Over the 80 hours of General Conference 2012, delegates and leaders will be making decisions that guide the ministry of our community of faith. All members of the BIC Church are invited to pray during this time. Our hope is to cover each of the 80 hours with prayer and involve intercessors from around the globe. View the 80-hour calendar and sign up to take part at bic-church.org/gc2012.
