Dedicated Spirituality Center and Daily Spiritual Practice

The spirituality center will be an area to explore the circle of faith. There will be areas tucked away with soft music playing, a place for hands on activities, an area to connect with others, and time to be still and pray. Also, if there is not time during the day to explore the spirituality center, you will be able to take part with grab and go resources on the Mobile Prayer Station tucked in different hotel locations throughout the week, or through activities on the APCE AE event app. Let’s explore The Circle of Faith: 50 years + one and beyond – connecting, enriching, empowering, sustaining.
