# How Do I Receive the Laying On of Hands Blessing?

The NACM continues to establish Elders in every US State.  State Coord. and Local Elders work together to establish at least one (often 2) annual meeting(s) in their State(s) every year.

**These gatherings are expressly focused on:**

1) the **laying on hands** of new ministers;

2) the **"in person" fellowship** of ministers locally; and

3) a time of **shared corporate worship**.

 The most appropriate time to receive the laying on of hands blessing is during State annual gatherings.

Stay connected to your [**State local Group**](https://nacministers.org/us-states/) to:

Connect with your State and Local Elder(s); and for

Announcements about upcoming gatherings.
