There is NO line item in my church’s youth ministry budget for training of any kind. Is yours like that? Yet, its the small church part-time or volunteer youth worker who needs a great youth ministry conference the most. Group’s Simply Youth Ministry Conference is the end of Feb so how can we make this happen for you?

1) Register by 1/27 to for the advanced savings rate.

2) Email me at theemqueen@aol.com for special denom savings codes.

3) Go to the SYMC? web site and look for a roomie. Seriously, four to a hotel room is pretty inexpensive.? ? A four people to one shower ratio is? WAY better? than any youth trip. ?

4) Ask church members for miles for a plane ride? or gas cards for the drive. (BTW: there is a free hotel shuttle? from O’Hare to the hotel).

5) Check to see if your denom has any special grants or scholarships.

6) There are people in your church who would love to put money into a pot to help you be a better youth director.

7) Bring PB, bread and a ziplock bag for snatching up any free food you can find.

I hope to see you there!
