From across North America and around the world they came, as they have for more than one hundred years, to worship together, fellowship, learn, grow, and conduct the annual business of the Church. And those who attended the 122nd North American Convention of the Church of God in Anderson, June 20-25, experienced the joyful celebration of unity. 

"This year's convention has been a wonderful time for worship, fellowship and spiritual growth as we celebrated the unity within the church and the body of Christ, said Dr. Ronald Duncan, general director of Church of God Ministries. "It was truly a blessing to all who attend, whether they came from across the country, around the world, or from right here in Anderson."

Please pray for the Lord's leading in the life of the Fillmores as they make their career transition.
