2010 Convention Co-Chairs

On Saturday October 2nd Dr. Brian DesRoches told us the story of Marie and Ralph and how Ralph realized through prayer what he needed to do to reboot his relationship, he needed to do what Jesus did in his relationships.

What did Jesus do? Checkout Dr. Brian DesRoches' attached power point presentation to find out.

We're sorry we didn't get the word out sooner on the banner-plan. We’ve followed in the footsteps of the previous National Convention (Wichita) and have tried to encourage people to upload community, couple photos, etc. for our ‘electronic banner procession’ (i.e. a Friday night video). If, however, people bring their banners they could probably be displayed along the walls of the ballroom, however we have no time or plan for the traditional banner procession. (And we can’t provide banner holders either).

Phew! For a while there I (Jenny) wasn’t sure quite how we’d get through it all, but I knew we would. In the last few weeks one might say we’ve had some ups and downs.

Thank you all for your patience, understanding, and prayers. After a little upgrading and rebooting we were able to increase our banquet capacity and therefore the number of couples that can attend convention. Because people were unable to register during the final days of the early registration discount we have extended this to Friday, August 20th. If you wish to attend convention please register A.S.A.P as space is limited.

We profusely apologize that we've (hopefully, momentarily) had to halt on-line registration. The issue -- and it is a good one -- is that we've reached our current capacity for the ballroom at the hotel. Unfortunately, we did not see this coming or we would've provided ample warning.

Seattle, party?! Us?? Yes, it's true, we know how to party and we'd like you to join us for two fun-filled Convention events.

Friday Night Poolside Social:

Early Registration Discounts end August 15th; you don't want to miss this opportunity. After August 15th the registration prices will go up to $300 per couple and $150 per clergy.

Order your T-Shirts and Fleece Jackets online. Buy 2 or more Fleece Jackets and save $5. All apparel orders must be placed by August 1st. Merchandise will be available for pickup at the Convention.

Bringing your kids to Convention? Please order your Childcare Packages by August 15th.

On-line registration is now live and exciting! And we know you’re just dying to register!

A few things to note (that will also be noted soon when you register): Leadership Day is FREE and will be excellent, enlightening and entertaining. It’ll be a don’t-miss event, that’s for sure! There will be a little check-box for you to mark upon Registration to let us know if you’ll be attending.

Also, a light continental breakfast will be provided on Friday morning (for those attending the Leadership Day only. This meal and Leadership presentation is our gift to you).
