Making An Impact
WE ALL STRUGGLE with the question, “Am I making an impact?” Because of what Christ has done for us, we desire to impact the world around us - our families, our churches, and our communities. The truth is, you ARE making an impact - one life at a time. At the 2008 Hannaford Fall Conference, we hope to equip you with tools to continue making an impact in our ever-changing culture.
This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace.
-Colossians 1:6, NLT
About The Hannaford Fall Conference
It’s our 12th year, and the 2008 Hannaford Fall Conference promises to be one of our best, yet. We have worked hard to design an event which offers a unique opportunity for spiritual renewal and refreshment. With workshops addressing varied issues in worship, youth, children, women’s ministries, you will replenish the strength and hope you need to provide the dynamic leadership required for your ministry. Be sure to mark September 28-30 on your calendar today!
How It Works
The 2008 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.
Our General Sessions on Sunday morning (September 28) and on Monday & Tuesday evenings (September 29 and 30) will feature our keynote guests including Ken Hutcherson, Mark Labberton, and Daren Streblow. The Pastors' Workshops will feature several topics focused toward pastors, pastor's wives, worship leaders, youth leaders and more.
Pastors & Ministry Workers: Join Us September 29 & 30
The two-day event for pastors occurs on Monday and Tuesday, September 29 & 30 featuring evening General Sessions with vibrant worship led by Eric Powell & the Hannaford Praise Team. Of course, don’t miss the exclusive daytime workshops just for pastors (as well as worship, youth, children’s, and women’s workers) and the informal Q&A time with our keynote speakers. This is an event that no pastor or ministry worker should miss!
