Earlier this summer I wrote about conference memories from my own childhood. I'll bet you have some too. Consider the value of bringing your family to other assembly conferences. Yes, I know traveling with little ones can be daunting. But, sometimes I thinking about it makes it harder than it really is. Family vacations and pleasure trips don't seem to let that get in the way, why should fellowship with the Lord's people?
The hospitality experience of both hosting and visiting conferences is so important for children to really understanding the concept of servitude. Additionally, I think there is no better testimony to the unity of the body than the ability to get together with virtual strangers (and sometimes good friends) and enjoy the Lord in a conference setting.
So come and be encouraged. Oh, and if you don't want to stay with me, I won't be offended. You can contact Marcie and Seth for housing arrangements. And if the fellowship isn't enough to entice you - Adriel and Efren will be cooking for us!
And if you can't come-I don't need excuses. But make a resolution to visit someone else's conference this year. It's encouraging to them too! You'll find me in Topeka, KS in November!

Love this post, Grace - I agree. I have great memories of going to conferences as a family when we were growing up.
We got your conference flier at the chapel a couple weeks ago, and wow, it looks awesome! You wouldn't have happened to be involved in that, would you????? ;)
I'll have to ask Dave about that weekend...can't wait to see you guys in November!
How exciting! I've always wanted to go to that conference in Kansas! It's always encouraging to see fellow bloggers that love Jesus!
