Just Dance, it’ll be ok...
Thursday night rocked the house with a new way to worship. For the first time in
MCC’s history, an entire evening worship service during General Conference was
completely led by MCCers under 35. This next generation created a powerful
space for creative and engaging worship. The dance-themed service featured the
youngest conference preacher ever, Amanda Ackerman.
