8 Days to get 5 Registrants from a single church and the Pastor Goes Free (offer ends Sept. 30)
 
Greetings Pastors, Church Leaders and Influencers,
 
On Oct. 15 and 16 we will be gathering together for a wonderful time of Worship, Teaching, and Breakout Sessions. I have talked to Jim Dostal, Hope's Worship Director and he is in coordination with Jeff Scott from Bayside Church and other area musicians, they are preparing for us a rich time of worship.

It is true - we can THRIVE spiritually! And if we lead a group, a class, a church, a family it is essential for us to be "full spiritually" for us to THRIVE. We have a wonderful faculty for our general sessions and for our BREAKOUT sessions. I am particularly excited about Mark Bankford of Heartland Community Church in Rockford, IL, being with us. Mark, in conjunction with MONVEE, will be hosting an invitation only dinner for pastors. If you are interested in this dinner please e-mail me at paulpit@gfhope.org. Mark will also be teaching a breakout session titled: "Community Transformation and the Future of Spiritual Formation."
 
Have you checked out the BREAKOUT sessions at THRIVE ND? We have 30 sessions offered. The teaching will be rich and helpful. I am sure there are Sunday School teachers, Board members, group leaders, and staff that will benefit from the training at THRIVE ND!
