Almost 500 participants are gathering for the 125th Annual Session of the Lott Carey Convention in New Orleans, Louisiana, from August 15-18.
Aspects of the meeting will be streamed live with the involvement of approximately 200 virtual registrants.
The Annual Session incorporates Bible Study, worship, mission education classes, mission service opportunities, and presentations on issues of concern such as human trafficking, voting rights and social justice. There will be special events for children and youth, among other activities and programs.
“We are delighted to have our largest face to face gathering of Lott Carey partners from around the world since the global Covid-19 pandemic,” declared Executive Secretary-Treasurer Rev. Emmett Dunn.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect old ties and establish new ones. We look forward to discerning as we worship, pray, discuss, and debate among ourselves, the mind and will of God for these times.”
The Annual Session theme is “Embrace,” and is drawn from Matthew 28:19-20.
Preachers include Rev. Dr. J. Michael Sanders, Rev. Vernon Gordon, Rev. Brenda K. Harewood, Rev. Traci Blackmon, Rev. Dr. Jesse T. Williams, Jr., and Lott Carey President Rev. Dr. Gina M. Stewart.
Among others, guest presenters are Rev. Willie D. Francois, III, Rev. Dr. Brianna K. Parker, Rev. Dr. Robert C. Scott, Minister Brenda Troy, Dr. Ellyn Jo Waller, Bishop Leah Daughtry, and several Lott Carey mission partners.
A mobile app allows persons to connect, access the schedule, and get updates.
“We welcome the Lott Carey family to join us, from wherever you are, as we celebrate what God has done in and through us and continue to offer ourselves to the realization of God’s kingdom,” Rev. Dunn said.
