A few changes this year regarding our annual Leadership Retreat. Due to inclement weather the past two years we have chosen to host this event here at GVCC and it is evolving to more of a leadership/volunteer celebration featuring Brennan Manning.
Currently working on promotional material - but here are a few things to be aware of:
1. Dates: February 24 - 26, 2008. The conference will begin around 5:00 on Sunday, concluding at noon on Tuesday. Cost will be $100 per person / $150 per couple (includes meals, supplies, Brennan Manning). There will be no cost for staff since you will be involved (i.e., music, audio/visual, hospitality, small group leaders, set-up/clean-up, etc.). Please remember the office will be closed and no other events should be scheduled during this time.
2. Activities: Looking for activity ideas during breaks. Maybe someone would like to teach a class, we can host a movie, do a scavenger hunt? We are still looking at this like a "retreat" type event, so don't want people sneaking back to work to get stuff done. Time is available on Monday afternoon for fun and games!
3. Promotion: In the past we have mailed invitations, this will year I will be promoting church-wide (I will mail brochures to people who have come to the Leadership Retreat in the past, otherwise people's feelings get hurt when someone they know receives and invite and they didn't). I will also provide brochures to all staff to bring to their ministry meetings.
Remember - have your teams mark their calendars! This is an event that is not be missed!!
