A GREAT OPPORTUNITY…

You have an unique opportunity to both experience one of the largest General Conferences in the history of  the United Pentecostal Church International and also visit the famous St. Louis Arch in September of 2009.  Mark your calendars now—September 30-October 4, 2009.

This will be the 85th General Conference for the UPCI and promises to be most noteworthy.  The main sessions will convene in the Edward Jones Dome which is attached to the Cervantes Convention Center, all inside America’s Center.  All sessions and exhibits will be in the same complex.  You will also have the opportunity of visiting the World Evangelism Center, located just 20 minutes from downtown St. Louis.  Shuttles will operate on Thursday and Friday to accommodate those desiring a tour of WEC and surrounding area.

It is certainly not too early to make your travel plans.  All the information you need to both register and make lodging reservations can be found on this web site.

The Fall Season in the St. Louis area is absolutely beautiful.  You will enjoy:

The big Mississippi River and picturesque river bluffs

The historic Missouri River and St. Charles (site of the First Missouri Capitol)

Lewis and Clark Museum

Unique Shops and scores of restaurants and eating outlets

This is certainly a conference for the entire family.  The Executive and General Boards are meeting soon to plan the details for the services and conference activities.  Make your plans now to attend
