Think ahead for CP2
We've extended our early-bird registration prices for Commission Possible: Ambassadors for Christ (CP2), the evangelism event of 2011 for the WV Conference.
Group registration ends on January 15, 2011 - and represents a significant cost savings opportunity for your church. Register a group of 5 by the deadline date for $100 - a $25 savings over the same number of individual registrations.
Individuals may also register early for $25. After January 15, 2011, the rate goes up to $30/per youth or adult.
Don't forget to register your middle school and high school students for a great weekend too! Grammy-nominated DecembeRadio is the headline music group for teens. CP2 for youth also features Rev. Jim Walker of Hot Metal Bridge Church in Pittsburgh. Find out more about the presenters and leaders for CP2 here. |
