Congregations will be responsible for the
transportation
and on-site costs for pastors attending the 2010 International
Conference.
To help with some of the costs, the denominational office will
cover the
registration fee and a portion of the lodging costs for
pre-registered
senior pastors. Elders and members wishing to attend the
conference may do
so at personal expense.
The Hilton is located across the street
from Downtown
Disney and offers free shuttle service within the resort area. The
hotel
property provides plenty of casual meeting areas to reconnect and
unwind.
Sponsor a pastor for the July 2010 International
Conference As we look forward to this
year’s international
conference, it would be wonderful if we could help pastors from
isolated,
underprivileged areas to be able to attend with us. This hope can
become a
reality if some of our congregations with the means and desire
would
sponsor a pastor and spouse for the 2010 conference. Some
congregations might want to direct a portion of their
international missions budget toward this need. If your
congregation would
like to be involved, please contact Charles Albrecht
(charles.albrecht@gci.org),
who will help you select a pastor to sponsor. Smaller
congregations might
want to combine resources to sponsor a pastor. Charles can also
help you
coordinate a joint effort. During the 2010 GCI conference, Generations Ministries
will sponsor a conference within the conference for young adults
and
teens. In this special Generations Ministry Track, teens and young
adults
will be able to attend training sessions geared toward their areas
of
ministry. They will have an opportunity to participate in some
Orlando
activities and they will have a place to reconnect and hang out.
Sessions
and activities will run parallel to the conference dates, July
22-25. The
conference registration fee for teens and young adults will be
$20, which
will help offset some of the costs for this special gathering.
Save the
dates and spread the word – details will be forthcoming.
We
have negotiated a $99 per night room rate, which
includes all taxes and fees. This is a very good summertime rate
for a
hotel with conference facilities in Orlando.
