WHY THIS MATTERS
During Annual Conference, we’re creating space to notice and share where God is moving in and through our churches and communities.

Your story—big or small—matters.
And it might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.

WHAT THIS IS
We’re gathering Stories of Hope from across the Rio Texas Conference, simple, real moments that show how God is at work.

You don’t need to prepare anything. Just come as you are and share what you’ve seen.

HOW TO SHARE
You can share your story in two ways:

1) In Person (Storytelling Booth)
Visit our Storytelling Booth and share a short video (1–2 minutes).
Our team will guide you! Nothing fancy, just real stories.

2) Online (Anytime)
Prefer to write or submit on your own? You can submit a written story and upload photos.
You can share your story anytime leading up to and during Annual Conference.

Share Your Story. Take the Light.
Those who share a story will receive a Stories of Hope lantern pin. We have a limited supply (300 total), so be sure to stop by early.

Acknowledgment
This storytelling effort is supported by the Vitalizing Congregations Vision Team, who are passionate about helping to gather and share stories from across our conference.
