Lunch

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner of roasted chicken, barbeque pork ribs and meatballs in marina sauce as well as mac-and-cheese, fried rice and tasty desserts in brownies and lemon squares. Thanks Dave and team for doing such a great job with our meals!

Speed Dating Sessions

Conference participants divided themselves into small groups to get to know each other better by answering such questions as: share what kind of church government under which your church operates and how your church handles finances.

Brief word from Joel Ellis

After a refreshing time of afternoon worship, Joel Ellis shared some about Global University and how he was available to answer questions until the evening and then he and his wife were going on to China.
