MEMORANDUM

As our September 12th announced, the Fourth Annual Educators Conference will be held this weekend, October 7-9 at UTS, Barrytown, NY, under the auspices of the Center for Education (CFE). This year’s theme is Education that Connects the Family, Church and Community, and is an excellent opportunity for the professional development of our pastoral ministry and religious education. We have encouraged each region to sponsor its key educational and ministry leaders to attend, and welcome every Tribal Messiah wishing to grow as an educator. Highlights include uplifting General Sessions featuring Rev. Dr. Michael Jenkins and Rev. Dr. Lonnie McLeod, and more than 40 breakout sessions offering materials and best practices in 5 areas: Children’s Ministry, Youth Ministry, Young Adult Ministry, Family Ministry and Pastoral Education. The 2nd Annual Blessed Family Association Convocation will take place during the weekend as well.
