Annual Conference adopted three resolutions Environmental Awareness Sunday - this resolution asks that the conference establish at least one Sunday a year for the purpose of environmental awareness. 2) Third World No More - this resolution urges conference members to refrain from using the term Third World to refer to the people of former colonial countries and their citizens. The term Third World is offensive and implies discrimination. 3) Youth Sunday - this resolution encourages youth to participate in worship and to discover, develop and implement their spiritual gifts. This resolution asks churches to designate a Youth Sunday; giving youth an opportunity to lead worship.
