General Conference Resource Round-Up

General Conference begins today in Charlotte, North Carolina, and continues through May 3. Here’s a quick round up of resources you can use personally and with your local church.
Before we get to the resources, it's worth mentioning that we know not everyone is interested in the minutiae of General Conference. No matter your thoughts or interests, we implore you to be in prayer for [link removed] our delegation and all delegates as they discern during General Conference. The Upper Room has prepared a devotional and prayer guide, which you can [link removed] download in your preferred language for free here.
