Timbuktoons is pleased to be participating as a vendor once again at the Children’s Pastors’ Conference, hosted by the International Network of Children’s Ministry. This year’s Winter CPC will be held at the wonderful Gaylord Opryland Hotel.

About the event (from www.incm.org):
“At CPC, you will spend four life-changing days being taught by experts in children’s ministry. You’ll hear quality speakers and performers throughout the conference while interacting with others in children’s ministry. You will be able to browse through the largest gathering of children’s ministry resource providers available. Most of all, you will be equipped, motivated, and challenged to increase your effectiveness in ministry to children.”

Come join us March 18-20, 2009 for Conspire-and together, we’ll imagine an exciting future of ministry for our children. Plan now to bring your entire team to Conspire 2009 and join with more than 3,000 children’s ministry workers from around the world. Together, you’ll experience:

Powerful main sessions, where you’ll connect with God and others as you learn creative, relevant, and powerful ways to grow your children’s ministry.

Practical training experiences, where you can take your skills and ideas to the next level and gain inspiration from other children’s ministry leaders just like you.

The Orange Conference
Hosted by the ReThink Group
Date: April 29-May 1
Location: Atlanta, GA
Website: www.theOrangeConference.com

Timbuktoons will be attending with our church’s children’s ministry team as attendees this year. A nice break from being a vendor…we’ll get to go to some sessions!

About the event (from www.theOrangeConference.com)
“The Orange Conference is an opportunity for churches to have their key leaders in a room together being challenged about what it means and what it takes to reach the next generation. It’s not a children’s ministry conference. It’s not a youth ministry conference. It’s the only place that a senior pastor, student pastor, children’s pastor and volunteers that work within these ministries can learn together and begin formulating a strategy to impact the lives of the people in your congregation.”
