FOCUS Conference This Weekend!

We wanted to write a little on a great opportunity for all ABC teachers called the FOCUS Conference. Whether you teach adults, youth, or children this conference is for you! The dates are Friday night, May 14 and Saturday morning, May 15 so it's not a lot of your time, but we really believe that it will be worth it to you to come as we spend some time in fellowship and in training. One of our main goals with this conference is to equip you in your classrooms as you teach and to be sharpened together as teachers!

We'll eat a special dinner together on Friday night and then have one large group session together immediately following. On Saturday morning we'll break out into our age-appropriate sessions. Here's the schedule for the weekend:

Friday 14th
6:30 – 7:30 Teacher Appreciation Dinner in the Fellowship Hall
7:30pm – 8:30pm Combined Group Session

Saturday 15th
8:30am – 9:00am continental breakfast
9:00am – 9:45am Age-Group Track Session 1
9:45am – 10:00am break
10:00am – 10:45am Age-Group Track Session 2
10:45am -- 11:00am break
11:00am -- 12:00pm Age-Group Track Session 3

We've got some great folks coming in to teach and to train and they'll be covering some really good topics. Some examples of what we'll be talking about in the children's teachers breakouts are: discipline in the classroom, age-appropriate story-telling, games, songs and other tools that you can use in your classroom.

Feel free to email Nathan with any questions, but we really hope you'll sign up and join us that weekend! Click here to sign-up today!
