It is a moment to relax, unwind, and to find joy and energy and peace in all of it.

When I tried to set up a new account online, it said an account with my email address as the username was already in use. What's up with that?
If you have registered online for the Annual Meeting using your email address, then you already have an account set up. Use that login information to register for Triennial XIII as well.
If you have been receiving email updates about Triennial XIII, an account has automatically been created for you with the email address at which you have been receiving Triennial XIII news emails. To register for Triennial XIII, you will need to reset your password. There is a link to reset your password on the first page of the registration portal. When you click this link, a separate window will pop up with instructions. You will need to enter your email address; you will immediately receive an email with a link to create a new password. You may then log in on the first page of the registration portal as a returning user using the new password you created.

I registered for the Covenant Annual Meeting. Does this affect how I register for Triennial XIII?
The registration for both the Covenant Annual Meeting and Triennial XIII go through the same secure server which saves your login and password information. If you registered online for the Covenant Annual Meeting, please use the login information you had then for registering for Triennial now.
You also must use the same name you registered with originally. For example, if you registered for the Annual Meeting as "Jill" with your email address, and then tried to register for Triennial with the same email address but used the name "Jillian," the system would not accept your login until you use the information already associated with your account.
