Lane Cotton Winn, the Annual Conference Design Team Chairperson. “By inviting local church music teams, choirs, liturgical dance teams, and ensembles to nominate themselves and offer their gifts and talents during Annual Conference, we hope to widen the scope of creativity and broaden the diversity of our holy conferencing experience.”

The application and questions should be directed to Adam Philley at adam@broadmoorumc.org by January 15, 2017.
Worship opportunities for invited choirs and ensembles begin with Opening Worship on Thursday morning, June 8th, and continue throughout the conference, including services such as the Memorial Service and the Celebration of Ministry Service (Ordination Service).
Groups are responsible for their own expenses.
