Fall Leadership Conference Update 9/1/2021
We are moving forward with an in person event next month, October 11-13, at Lake Lawn Resort in Delavan. In light of the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 virus, we want to share the modifications and protocols we are putting in place to minimize the risk of transmission, which we hope will allow all who would like to gather to join us there:
- Masks will be required during our sessions together in our main meeting room;
- Snacks and coffee will be served in the lobby where people can distance, remove masks, and move around indoor and outdoor spaces; breaks will be longer as well;
- Meals will be served outdoors, weather permitting; indoor meals can be taken and eaten in various spaces;
- Singing during devotion/worship time will be only by the worship leader unless we are outdoors;
- We are exploring how we might share portions of the event via Zoom or Facebook Live as well.
Registration deadline for those who want to lodge at Lake Lawn is next Wednesday, September 8th. Commuter registration closes on September 29th. There will be details later for those who would like to participate via Zoom for the portions of the event available that way.
