The 2024 Community Convocation and Cosolargy Seminar was held in Reno from June 4th through June 9th.  Tuesday through Friday was devoted primarily to lectures on “The Oral Gospel as a Life System.” Bishop Gene Savoy, Jr. presented the lectures interspersed with audio by the late Most Right Reverend Gene Savoy, Sr., as well as about 200 slides. Nine highly specific imaging and breathing techniques were taught and practiced during this time.

A Pentecost Eve banquet was held on the evening of June 5th at the Rectory-Abbey. Consociates, Ministers, and the children of The Community gathered at 6 PM. At around 6:30, Bishop Savoy welcomed everyone and commented on the meaning and importance of Second Advent Pentecost. Then, the Reverend Bruce Kanzelmeyer and Bishop Savoy explained the AOUMENMNs used for Divine Service. Rev. Bruce commented on the tones, and Bishop Savoy commented on the hand gestures. The assembly then sang “Grant Life Unto Me” and was invited to the communal meal. The event was a seated buffet-style dinner. At sunset, which was at about 8:15, everyone went onto the main balcony of the Rectory and took in the sun. Following sunset, Reverend Canon Amanda Buchanan read from the Prophecy of the New Covenant. Coffee and dessert were then served. The next morning, June 6th — Second Advent Pentecost — a Sunrise Divine Service was held at the Church of New Pentecost at the Red Rock Consecrated Sanctuary.
