01.10.12 - Tell Conference

     On February 11-12 our church will be hosting a Tell Conference led by Dr Robert Pierson.  For those that attended the Needs Based Evangelism Conference we held in 2009 that name will sound familiar.  Dr Pierson has a new book entitled Tell and it has quickly become one of the top resources around the world in regard to helping disciples of Jesus Christ to know how to tell their faith story to someone else.  On Saturday will be hosting a conference for the entire Central Texas Conference and we should expect somewhere between 150 to 250 clergy and laity to attend.  Members of our church are encouraged to attend the Saturday event as well.  Then on Sunday we will have Dr Pierson to lead us in worship in all three services and then in a training event just for our church later that afternoon and evening.

     To host this event we will need a lot of our members to volunteer to help.  We will need helpers to greet and welcome our guests, those who will help register our guests when they arrive, those willing to help prepare and serve a lunch for our guests, and others willing to help with setting up and cleaning up.  We will be having sign up tables around the church and ask that you be ready to volunteer.

     The cost of the conference is $40 a person for those who will be attending from around the Central Texas Conference on Saturday.  The cost for our church members that will be attending on Saturday is $20 which will pay for a copy of the book.  There will be no charge for our members that attend the training event on Sunday afternoon and evening.

     I am really excited about hosting this conference and I ask that you remember to lift up this training event in your time of prayer.

In His Service,

Dr Don
