I was very impressed by the C3 Kids Conference. The FC Kids staff and volunteers were amazing. I tip my hat off to all of them. They were a huge blessing to lots of people. All in all, there were around 500 people who attended the conference, which is double what they were expecting. I … Continue reading
Today was a much slower day than yesterday, which I am thankful for. I appreciated yesterday and felt good after it, but I don’t think I would’ve liked it much if today were at the same speed. Today was definitely more of a day to reflect and rejuvinate and dream. A great way to end … Continue reading

The session began with a devotional on each seat for us to reflect on … Continue reading

I’m looking forward to Day 3. I just wanted to leave some miscellaneous pictures from yesterday for your perusal Some of … Continue reading
Tonight was an evening session with Brian Houston, the senior pastor of Hillsong Church in Sydney, Australia. I watched it at the Plano campus because it was streamed there and it is really close to my hotel. I think that Brian Houston had a rough start and rough end, but his main points were great. … Continue reading
After lunch, I went to a breakout on volunteer recruiting, training, and retaining. It was led by the three volunteer coordinators for FC Kids: there is one for elementary and two for early childhood. It was well done and motivating. It was neat to see the passion these coordinators had for volunteers and recruiting volunteers. … Continue reading
