Join us in prayer for all impacted by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the Mindanao region in the southern Philippines today. This was a strong earthquake, causing the deaths of at least 32 people and injuring hundreds. As the death toll continues to rise and as residents assess damage to homes and businesses, we pray especially for those who have lost loved ones and livelihoods.

UMCOR is coordinating with our Disaster Management Office (DMO) staff in the Philippines to provide aid and assistance to those in need. We will provide updates as soon as they are available.

What happens when worship doesn’t go exactly as planned?

At TAC Story Hour during Annual Conference, we gathered around the theme “Unexpected Moments in Worship” and heard stories that were funny, moving, emotional, and deeply human.

Thank you to Chad McElveen, Steve Killam, and the Center for Leadership Vitality for organizing this fun gathering.

Now we want to hear from you: What is the most unexpected experience you’ve ever had in worship? Whether it was funny, moving, emotional, surprising, or something you’ll never forget, share your story in the comments.

Our summer interns brought the joy, the props, and the personality to Annual Conference last week.

We are so grateful for this fun crew and the energy they shared with us behind the scenes, in the hallways, and, clearly, in the photo booth. They jumped right in, helped make the week run smoother, and reminded us not to take ourselves too seriously.

Help us show some love to our Summer Interns in the comments.

Passing the baton to the next generation of church leaders! In a world where bad behavior is normalized, we need leaders who will love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously through gentleness and truth.

“We have been the widow, giving everything we had to live on.”

In this powerful message, Wiley University President Dr. Felton reminds us of the faithful sacrifice of HBCUs like Wiley University, which has spent 153 years forming leaders, opening doors, and changing the world.

Now, the invitation is simple: notice. Notice the legacy. Notice the impact. Notice the ongoing need. And then consider how God may be calling you to respond.

Stop choosing sides and start choosing BOTH! This message breaks down the false choice between traditional church and meeting people in their everyday spaces. It's about bringing people into relationship with God - however that looks! Thank you Kelli for sharing your story during our Laity Session at Annual Conference this year.

The Spirit is calling YOU to step up with love and compassion! Our Savior showed us the way - caring for the poor, healing the sick, welcoming strangers. This moment matters to God, to you, to your neighbors. Are you ready to answer the call?
