Only very limited paper copies of these materials will be available at the event.

Information you need to make the most of your presence at the AC Session is being sent out in bi-weekly e-mail AC Updates. If you are not receiving those, please contact the District Office. If you have missed some, you can review them all at http://greaternw.org/ac2017/updates/

Clergy members need to contact the District Superintendent to request an excused absence. E-mail DS Steve Sprecher at sprecher@umoi.org.
Lay members need to contact the District Office and let us know if an alternate will be serving in your place (hopefully) or if no lay member will be attending from your church (sadly). E-mail Linda at linda@umoi.org.
