Connectional Lay Theme

The Connectional Lay Theme is in alignment with the AME Church Quadrennial theme.

Did You Know?

From the AME Church:

The Quadrennial theme may be a theological or biblical focus, missional emphasis, prophetic statement or program catalyst for ministry that is designed to serve as a rallying cry and/or a means to enhance the ministerial and/or programmatic thrust important to the life of the global church.

All Episcopal Districts, Presiding Elder Districts, Connectional and Annual Conferences, auxiliaries and local churches are asked to incorporate some aspect of the Quadrennial Theme in their programmatic or ministerial thrusts as an opportunity for teaching, training and developing a special emphasis that may emerge from the theme. It helps us to move together with a unified emphasis in our various capacities.

CLO Theme: Reviving the Connection: Exceedingly, Abundantly

Above All We Can Ask or Think

The KJV Scriptural Reference: Ephesians 3:20-21:

20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end.

Amen.

God is able to take the CLO to NEW and HIGHER Heights. He can, will and has done more for us than we can even imagine or think. Beyond our wildest expectations is one description! WE limit Him by our own finite imaginations.

As we work to Revive the Connection we will reap benefits:

Abundantly,

Exceedingly

Above All We Can Ask or Think.
