Because we have all been participating in conferences for several years now, our fellowship was drawn to the idea of taking elements from conferences but adding in more social time and activities. We loved the idea of having everyone stay on the same property where we will be able to spend more time together during the weekend. We realize that everyone comes to conferences/events for different reasons and want to facilitate the various needs of those among us. We want to provide ample opportunity for conversation and fellowship, activities for youth, and free-form study and discussion groups led by volunteers. This will allow each person and family to choose what they want to do each day based on their social and spiritual needs. This is our first time doing an event like this, and so it will largely be an experiment. We are optimistic and look forward to a wonderful weekend together where the spirit can guide!
