These charts will work for all different types of musicians and abilities. They can be sung and played alongside the UMH. There is also a special gift from the COR Worship Collective, an arrangement of their song “I Am Yours.” This song uses words from the Wesleyan Covenant Prayer with beautiful melody. Arrangements were created by Walter Bryant, Music Director at Platte Woods Church.
- SHARE Teaching Series – This four-week sermon or small group series based on our 2024 Annual Conference theme will help participants come to know their own faith story, see others who are longing for experience with God, live in such a way that their very lives are an expression of Christ, and then to invite others to have an encounter with the unconditional love of God.
