August 2010 2010 National NCD Conference
Continuing the Conversations
Greetings!
 
We trust that you have returned safely from your travels to St. Pete.  Though our time together was all-too-brief, we can already see evidence of the Spirit in and amongst our conversations and prayers together.  

Today we are especially thankful for:

  • The passionate and convicting preaching of Rev. Alice Ridgill.
  • The warmth, humility, and inspiration of Rev. Shawn Lovejoy.
  • The spiritual vitality and musical artistry of Dexios.
  • The inspired, authentic word delivered by Rev. Edwin Andrade.
  • The wisdom, encouragement, and direction of all our workshop leaders.
  • The dauntless efforts of our conference planning team.
  • The good humor and sense of community cultivated by all of our conference participants.

Throughout the year, we will be using this newsletter as a means to continue the conversations begun at the 2010 NCD Conference, as well as keeping you informed of events sponsored by the Office of Evangelism and Church Growth.  Should you wish to stop receiving emails from us, click on the "unsubscribe" link located at the end of this email.
