Church Planting Sunday
February 23, 2020
Now is the time to plan our upcoming 2020 calendars for churches and districts. Let’s join with other Alliance churches across the nation to celebrate Church Planting Sunday. Resources will be made available on our national C&MA website to help share the vision for church multiplication. It’s worth it!
District & Prayer Conference
April 27-29, 2020
A.B. Simpson said, “The Alliance must closely follow Scriptural standards; having as its ideal a life of prayer, faith, simplicity and sacrifice.” As the Alliance looks back over the last century, we become aware that with all the prayer that has gone forth, we still have great needs to respond to throughout the world. We shall only meet these needs with a great outpouring of sacrificial prayer. May the year 2020 be a fresh call to prayer and a realization that nothing in the development of the Alliance has or ever can take the place of prayer.
WHERE: Hmong American Alliance Church, 2515 Maplewood Drive North, Maplewood, MN 55109
WHEN: April 27-29, 2020
REGISTRATION: March 1 – April 13, 2020
