| LIFE IS A JOURNEY... and on that journey, each of us falls into times of discouragement. What is important is that we can find the strength to move past these times and embrace the hope that Jesus offers. |
|
“Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God...is with you.
He will not fail you or forsake you...”
(1 Chron. 28:20 NIV)
|
| The 2007 Hannaford Fall Conference is an two-fold event with General Sessions open to the public, as well as special workshops designed for pastors & ministry workers in the daytime on Monday and Tuesday. |

The Pastors' Workshops will feature several topics focused toward pastors, pastor's wives, and youth leaders from churches of all sizes. |
| It's the perfect opportunity to reconnect and find the strength and hope we need in life. Be sure to mark September 23-25 on your calendar today! |
 |
| In our 11th year, we have worked hard to design an event that will be a benefit for pastors and ministry workers. The conference offers a unique opportunity for a personal and professional level of spiritual renewal and refreshment. As you interact with other ministry leaders and gain insights from national speakers, you will replenish the strength and hope you need to provide the dynamic leadership required for your ministry. |
The conference will be a three-day event featuring daily General Sessions with vibrant worship led by Eric Powell & the HSBC Praise Team. There are also exclusive workshops for pastors (and pastors’ wives & youth leaders} and an informal Q&A time with the speakers.
|
| Everyone raves about the food and much of it is provided for free to Pastors and visiting ministry leaders including Tuesday morning breakfast, and lunch, dinner, & pie fellowship. Also, don't miss the free Pastors' & Ministry Workers Dinner Banquet on Monday evening (register now because space is limited). |
