What I’m hitting up for the OC12 Pre-conference

The OC12 Pre-conference begins this morning at 9:30 am!!  I’m really excited to be here after the great meet and greet.  By the way, check out my new friend…

Anyways, here are the Pre-conference seminars I’m gonna hit up and will be posting the notes later if you want to follow my blog today:

  1. HOW TO: Intentionally Connect to Your Community Through Sports.  I’m excited about this one because of the nZone back home and how New Life Christian Church can better use sports to minister our community.
  2. HOW TO: Prioritize Social Media in Your Ministry.  I am always looking for ways to get more social with our students and how to produce a great social media product so we can keep getting the word out to them.
  3. HOW TO: Creatively Tell Stories to Preschoolers.  Being the “Family Guy” at New Life (not just the Youth Guy), I have a vested interest in making sure ALL our students can hear about God and Christ in an effective way.  So I’m really excited about learning how to better communicate with these young children.
  4. HOW TO: Implement 252 Basics Over Multiple Service Times.  Having 3 services at New Life and being a new converter to 252 Basics, we are still learning so much.  So going to this seminar will help me understand 252 more and bring home more info for our Children’s Ministry Director as she works through it as well.

I’ll be posting notes on all these later today.
