Dear Convention Member,

As we continue through this season, President Bowie asks each of us to join the Moderator's Auxiliary Prayer Night each 1st and 3rd Thursday at 7 PM via conference call. The call-in number is 515-604-9225. Please call in between 6:55 and 7 PM and wait for the Moderators to begin.

We invite you to share this with those within your group.

Thanks!

We've had some questions about using teams for churches and district associations. While the full capbilites of Teams is only available to paid or grant versions (Office 365 for Non-Profits in our case), there is a free version of Teams that could be useful to you. Here's a video that talks about that version.
