Orange - Francis Chan

Pastor Chan is one of my favorite speakers. Truly, every time I listen to him I’m challenged and today was no different.
Three questions to add to my growing prayer list:
Is the Holy Spirit truly in me?
Do I have other’s backs?
What does God want me to do that I’ve not been doing?

This guy is powerful.

Orange – Family Experience: The Non-weekly Option

“80% of kids raised in church will walk away from church by the time they get to college.”
Carey Nieuwhof is one of my favorite presenters and today he was on fire. Great presentation about the wisdom of using the family experience on a monthly basis. Good emphasis on strategy; so vital to hear.
Once again, awesome.

Orange - Picture This!

Greg and Jen are leading this session about helping us all with story telling. I am not from a drama background, so the exercises/games they taught us were helpful. Certainly exercises I’ll work through with both our on-stage and small group leaders.
Great stuff.

Orange - Design on a Dime

Awesome first session with Jeffrey Reed, Design on a Dime. Came away with great ideas for enhancing our current children's ministry rooms. Foam, spandex and pvc pipe are our friends!

Orange Conference Day 1 Preconference

We’re here! Flew in last night, picked up a very cool minivan; I know, I’m old. Drove out to the conference center and painlessly registered. What a relief. Beautiful hotel and now, Monday morning I’m in my first preconference session, Design on a Dime with Jeffrey Reed.
I sat in on a session with Jeffrey at Camp Kidjam and so I’m looking forward to his wisdom.
Update to follow…
