During worship, Rev. Diane Moffet will preach and Austin College will provide music. Communion will be celebrated as we Rejoice in Hope, newly confident in God’s promise to guide and support us, and our PW community that strengthens us.

What does it cost to attend?
It’s free to watch the live stream of the Online Churchwide Gathering Event! The event is not free to produce and is possible thanks to the annual fund, financial gifts to make the Gathering possible, and sponsorships from PW groups and PW’s ministry partners.
