Impulsive Joy

Have you heard?

My friends at Worlds of Wow are giving away TWO tickets to the 2012 Orange Conference!

I know that many leaders I talk to want to go to the conference but are limited by budget or personal finances.  Now you can enter to win tickets for F-R-E-E!  And, here’s the kicker:  If you read the fine print, you can double your chances to win with two submissions!

Leaders are learners.  And this year, we are making the Orange Conference power packed with as much information as you can take!  Check out the latest news about what is in the works for YOU this April:

The Orange Conference Partners with International Network of Children’s Ministry andYouth Specialties

The Orange Conference, designed for entire family ministry teams, has a number of new exciting announcements for this year’s attendees, the biggest of which are partnerships with International Network of Children’s Ministry (INCM) and Youth Specialties (YS). To be held April 25-27, 2012, in Atlanta, this event gathers children and preschool leaders, student pastors and senior church leadership called to understand the changes influencing this new generation.

INCM and YS will each present a specialty track at The Orange Conference 2012.  Orange will be a two-conference-in-one experience this year!

CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS

As if the power packed partnership wasn’t enough, there is more!  For the first time at an Orange Conference, attendees will be able to accrue continuing education units (CEU’s) according to the standards of the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET), without being members.

125 DISTINCT WORKSHOPS AND BREAKOUTS

Last year the conference offered over 80 workshop and breakout options. In 2012 there will be over 125 distinct offerings with over 80 percent new material!

NEW RECOMMENDED TRACKS

In addition to presenting recommended tracks by age group ministry and role, there will also be tracks based on the categories of training most requested by previous attendees. So whatever role or area of responsibility in a church, attendees can feel like the conference was created specifically for them. Tracks include Preschool Ministry, Children’s Ministry, Student Ministry, Senior Pastors Forum, College Ministry, Special Needs Ministry, Navigating Change, Worship Leaders, Small Groups Leaders, Investing in Your Volunteers, Middle School Ministry, Getting Parents Involved, The Start Up Church, Family Experience Nuts and Bolts, and Social Media in Ministry.

FREE BONUS WORKSHOP

This workshop will be available on Wednesday afternoon. Any attendee may join in at absolutely NO COST.  (We love Free!)

CONVERSATION GROUPS

Key speakers and leaders in family ministry will offer the opportunity within a small, relaxed gathering to ask questions, network and brainstorm with attendees and speakers. This will be an up-close and in-person environment.

The Orange Conference was a total game changer for me in ministry and I know it will be for you too!  So enter today to win your FREE TICKETS from Worlds of Wow and make plans to join us in Atlanta this April!  Act quickly, submissions will be accepted until January 31st!
