Hi Multi-Site friends! I'm having the realization that the next few months are going to be filled with a lot of cool stuff. Looking for an event or conference to attend? Consider joining me for one of the following:
Willow's Conspire Conference. March 18-20. South Barrington, IL. This conference is always chuck full of great practical stuff for Children's Ministry staff and volunteers. This year I have the privilege of speaking in one of the main sessions. I get to talk on the topic I'm most passionate about so I can't wait! Would love to meet some of you there! www.conspireconference.com
Sticky Church Conference. March 31. St. John, IN. I'll be teaching a breakout at the conference on how to align the family through the BIG IDEA. www.stickychurch.com
NewThing's Hitchhiker's Guide to Multi-Site. April 4-5. Naperville, IL. Join us here at Community Christian Church for a 2-day behind-the-scenes look at how we do multi-site ministry. During the April offering of Hitchhiker's, we'll be offering bonus breakout sessions for Children's and Student Ministry. There will be lots of opportunities to connect with the Kids' City staff during this experience. This event is purposely kept small so register soon if you'd like to attend. www.newthing.org
Exponential Conference. April 20-23. Orlando, FL. Sommer Wisher from LifePointe Church in Raleigh, North Carolina and I will be leading a 6-hour Pre-Conference Intensive that will cover practical tools and strategies for building a reproducing Children's Ministry. This conference targets church planters so if you are one...check it out. www.exponentialconference.org
Easum-Bandy Webinar. April 28. On-line! I'm not exactly sure how this works (I've never done a webinar before), but on this date I will be leading an on-line experience with Easum-Bandy where we'll be discussing "Building Your Children's Ministry Dream Team." Hopefully we'll be able to share some great recruiting ideas that will help us all build successful teams. www.easumbandy.com
Lots of fun stuff! Let me know if any of you are going to be at one or more of these events.
Glad to see you back on the blog! I wish I could get back to Conspire but it is not in the funds for 2009.

Hey. I just wanted to say I absolutley loved your site and especially your role discriptions for your volunteers and staff. I am working on a manual for our staff and wanted to use the layout you had used but wanted to make sure that was OK. I tried to email you but it wouldn't let me.
