General Conference
United Women in Faith volunteers from the Western North Carolina Conference help to sort and organize crafts brought by central conference delegates to the postponed 2020 United Methodist General Conference in Charlotte, N.C. The goods are for sale at the Worldwide Craft Market, which is open at the Hilton Garden Inn, a block from the Charlotte Convention Center, daily except Sunday.

Global craft market supports delegates, ministries

All profits from the sale of wares from Africa, the Philippines and Palestine go back into the pockets of the individuals selling their goods to support various ministries.
