Delegates sent off with prayers at Convocation

PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (4:15 p.m., Feb. 20) — Delegates attending Convocation were presented with a “prayer scarf” and lifted up with more prayers yesterday at Music Road Convention Center.

The gift represented the prayers shared by clergy, who had tied threads into the netted scarf while praying on Monday during the Feb. 18-20 annual continuing education event.
