Sam Luce had the great idea of having everyone who is attending the Orange Conference post their breakout selections and why they chose them. So, here’s my Orange Conference schedule along with the breakouts I chose and why.
Wednesday, April 28
- Arrive in the afternoon.
- 7:30PM – Main Session #1
- 10:00PM – Tweet Up at Chocolate Perks
Thursday, April 29
- 9:00AM – Main Session #2
- 11:30AM – Breakout: Say What you need to say as a children’s small group leader - I’m attending this because small groups are the destination for our children, and we want them to be great!
- 2:30PM – Breakout: Leading through the budget crunch - I’m attending this because we can always use help with making the most of our resources.
- 4:15PM – Main Session #3
- 7:00PM – Family Experience Showcase
Friday, April 30
- 9:00AM – Main Session #4
- 11:30AM – Breakout: Difficult conversations in leaders’ circles – I’m attending this because difficult conversations are a part of leading and I’m interested in what Sue Miller has to say, because she rocks.
- 2:30PM – Breakout: Sticky volunteers for children’s ministry – I’m attending this because the Baby Dedication breakout with Kendra is full, and because I want all the help I can get with making children’s ministry a place where volunteers stick!
- 4:15PM – Main Session #5
- 6:00PM – Go home and get ready for KidStuf!
If you are going to Orange, what breakouts are you attending?
I think you should sneak in to the baby dedication breakout even though it’s full…I’m sure it’s tough choosing what you should attend when you’re by yourself. It’s always easier when you take a group and can send someone to every break out…:)
