I hope that you all got your hotel room booked and are looking forward to the Christian Education Conference. Mostly I hope that you were not any later than I was booking the room because if you were, then you missed out on the great conference rate! I was probably the last one to reserve a room before the deadline arrival.
With everything going on, I should be wondering if I can fit the CEC into my schedule. We all know how busy Christmas time is and it seems the first of the year does not bring any kind of slowing down. Those of us who work with kids that participate in LTC are really seeing the pace pick up I know. However that is one reason I enjoy the CEC so much. It is a time of renewal and re-focus of sorts. I enjoy being with others who are focused on the ministry of education – whether to kids, teens, adults or everyone in between. It fires me up to hear new ideas and also to be reminded of things I’ve heard before. It’s encouraging to me to be around those younger than me – with fresh ideas, enthusiasm, the newness of ministry – and with those older than me – with knowledge I don’t have, the example of not giving up and the love of the ministry they are involved in.
I am thankful for the CEC. I’m thankful for the countless number of volunteer hours that are put into the planning, the advertising, the program and everything that goes on behind the scenes. I look forward to seeing you all there!
