Dear Friends,
Mission Center Conference will be held on Saturday November 1st and we have made the decision to have the conference at the Chula Vista Congregation in the San Diego area. We recognize this is a significant shift in location but we are trying to accommodate our members and friends from Mexico to join us for the conference. We recognize that not all from Baja will be able to attend but this location provides a greater opportunity for those with approved travel documents to participate. We are planning to begin moving the conference location around so that each of our gathered communities can provide hospitality and we can celebrate being gathered communities across the mission center.
We also recognize that for some, this is a significant journey so the Chula Vista congregation has agreed that if people want to spend the night to help cut down on travel time in a day, the dorm rooms they have will be available. If you would like to reserve a dorm room, please let Gina Norton know. Her email is ginanorton52@gmail.com or her phone number is 619-851-0327.
Also, Field Support Minister Blake Smith will be our guest and provide classes in the morning and share during the conference. He will also provide guest ministry on Sunday morning. We will share more about the class focus, arrangements for food, and also the tentative agenda for the conference in a couple of weeks.
Currently, we are planning on beginning at 9:30am with worship and then a class with Blake from 1o:15-noon, lunch, then another session 1-2:30, with the actual conference being called at 3:00pm until 5:00. Again, this is our tentative schedule but hopefully it helps you in planning travel.
More will be shared as our plans continue to come together. Please plan to join us for fellowship, worship, conference decisions, and sharing as gathered community on Saturday November 1st.
