“The gospel must be preached afresh & told in new ways to each generation since every generation has its own unique questions. The gospel must constantly be forwarded to a new address because the recipient is repeatedly changing his place of address.”
- Helmut Thielicke
The 2020 Educator's Conference is Something NEW - A Hybrid Experience
Sadly, we will not be gathering at Beaver Run this year, but we are excited about a program full of great content and a new approach. We so much value the opportunity to gather for encouragement, fellowship, and professional development that we have been developing a hybrid conference experience. Hybrid events connect live and virtual audiences and as has become our practice, we will work to foster intentional conversations and build programs with real life application in mind.
We are planning a high quality, one day event at each location.
Mark your calendars now for Friday, October 16th. You won't want to miss this.
Registration details will be communicated soon.

Mary will be sharing training she helped to design for preschool teachers in Lutheran schools that aims to “Make Jesus Real” for children, families, and staff.
