**AC2021 Will Convene Virtually June 6-7**

The 2021 South Carolina Annual Conference will convene June 6-7 as an all-virtual session to ensure the health and safety of lay and clergy members amid the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.

The theme for AC2021 is “Seeking A More Excellent Way – Taking the Next Faithful Step.”

“South Carolina United Methodists – thanks to your faithful dedication to building up the kingdom and an ever-strengthening bond between clergy and laity – you have accomplished so much for the sake of Christ during quite an exceptional year of ministry amid unprecedented challenges,” Resident Bishop L. Jonathan Holston said.

The Florence District and Cumberland United Methodist Church in Florence will play host to AC2021 at the Florence Center, where in-person attendance will be limited strictly to those who must be on site to conduct the business of the Annual Conference.
