From Pastor Kathy, Reasons to attend:

1) This time you don't have to drive a long distance or pay for a hotel.

2) No small talk with strangers required, as there often is between events at an in-person denominational meeting.

3) The over-arching focus is on meeting challenges with civility, a theme chosen more than a year ago.  

4)  Theme Scripture -- “Let your conversation be always full of grace,” (Listen more than you speak) “seasoned with salt,” (Compelling, not dull) “so that you may know how to answer everyone.” (pray and listen for God’s direction) -Colossians 4:6

5) Marilyn Malone is the region president and this is her last big event in that capacity.

6) Our own Kathy Moore is leading a workshop.

7) Other special guests include Richard Mouw from Fuller Seminary, Eddie Cruz from Home Mission Society and Ruth Fox from International Ministries

8) You will be among the first to see the national debut of a video celebrating Emmanuel Baptist Church -- past, present and future.
