Only elected delegates (clergy and lay) will be eligible to participate in the Zoom session on, which will include live conversation and voting. If you are a delegate and have not received your invitation for our first virtual Annual Conference, contact jervin@txcumc.org.

Sermons are often available to livestream on Sunday – and several congregations also record services for on-demand viewing. Check them out at: https://www.txcumc.org/sermons.
