I’ve been fortunate enough to have experienced several different conferences at Montreat: Youth, Music & Worship, & College. At Youth and College Conferences, Small Groups have been an important part of my “Montreat experience.” I appreciate the opportunity to process and discuss what I hear in keynotes and worship services. I also enjoy listening to what my peers find striking (or not) about aspects of different conferences in which I’ve participated. Since Small Groups have been a key aspect of Montreat conferences for me in the past, I’m really enjoying seeing the “behind the scenes” aspect of preparing for Small Groups. I hope you will find Small Groups this year at the 2009 College Conference as helpful as I have in the past.
I’m so excited about the things we’ll be discussing in Small Groups this year! I know there will be great conversations around the worship services and the keynotes from Dr. Campolo, Congressman Lewis, and representatives of Invisible Children. We’ll be discussing each sermon and keynote and how it relates to scripture as well as our conference theme of “Outrageous Generosity.” In Small Groups, we’ll also discuss what everything we’re hearing means for us as Christians.
Many wonderful people have contacted me about being Small Group Leaders, so I’m confident that your Small Groups are in excellent hands. I’ve been so grateful for people’s willingness to serve in this important role at the conference. I’m still looking for more Small Group Leaders, so please contact me if you’re interested! Small groups applications are available on the “Forms” page — click here!
I’m looking forward to seeing everyone in January!
