EBCX Awana

I doubt anyone is reading this site with regularity yet, but I figure that has no chance of changing if I don’t post regularly, ya know? Anyways, the 2008 Ohio Awana Conference is coming up in a few weeks, and I’m curious if anyone from EBCX is interested in going.

One of the things Awana has really tried hard to do in the past year or two is to change its image to include a broader scope of children and youth ministries. It doesn’t want to be viewed as just “Awana Clubs” but as a resource to come alongside churches, youth pastors, Sunday School teachers, and especially parents. This is evident in everything from the addition of new missionaries (i.e. the “church care” folks), publication of new materials (e.g. the Rorheim Institute stuff), and even the logo change.

All that to say this conference aims to do that as well; it ought to appeal to many more folks than “Awana nerds” (which I certainly don’t say pejoratively). So if you’re interested, leave me (Jud) a comment.

Actually, if you’re reading this at all, please let me know. I could use some affirmation!
