Group Life West Coast

From Dave Treat

Couldn't wait to get out to California in January to meet some new friends at Group Life Conference West Coast. Sadly, it's not going to happen.

We have been very excited about the Group Life Conference West Coast to be held at Mariners Church in Irvine, CA in January. Unfortunately, economic realities have forced many ministry leaders and volunteers to reconsider their participation, and this has led us to the sad conclusion that we must cancel the conference. All who registered prior to December 18 will be contacted by our Customer Service team.

The good news is that much of the content of the California conference was to be the "best of" the Group Life Conference 2008, held at Willow Creek in October. Video and audio content from this conference can be obtained by visiting the conference resources page.

Meanwhile, we are concentrating on some exciting content for the Group Life Conference 2009 to be held at Willow Creek and by satellite over CCN. Watch for details here, and we'll look forward to seeing you in October!
