[Faith-talk] devotions at conventiondE

[Peter Donahue]

Good afternoon everyone,

    In the past four devotional services were held at the national 
convention on the mornings of general sessions. In 2007 one of these was 
eliminated due to the march for independence. Another devotion will be 
eliminated due to the convention being cut short by a day this year. A 
Catholic Mass and a service for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of 
Latter Day Saints is held prior to the start of general sessions depending 
how the days fall early in the national convention. I'd like to see the 
NFBCF consider holding devotions on Registration and Board Meeting Day to 
replace those lost due to the changes to convention activities and duration. 
We hope and pray this will be done during future conventions.
