I’m done speaking for the conference.
It was good…great to reconnect with some old friends, meet some new ones.
Richard Ross spoke and did an outstanding job.
A couple of thoughts about the retreat. First, the concept is great. Get parents and youthworkers away for a weekend. I love it. The execution of it wasn’t all that great. The value of having a weekend with the parents of the youth in your group is the relational connection you could have. But the weekend didn’t allow a lot of that. When the parents were in sessions, the youthworkers were in worship and vice versa.
Then the meals ended up being infomercials, not relational face time.
Overall, it was a good experience. One that could be awesome with some tweaking.
Other news – the fam went and saw Madagascar 2 tonight. It was….average. It was a slow movie. I thought it was funny but then I started thinking about the funny parts and they all were either the penguins or Sasha Cohen’s character – King Lemur.
Fun weekend so far.

Thanks for coming.
I agree that Richard Ross was outstanding. I didn’t see you at the Friday Night gig, but the chocolate fountain was pretty fantastic too.
