New Harmony, IN ~ Conference

Yes. I remember. It was the Southern Baptist Children's Homes Development Directors and Fundraisers National Conference in New Harmony, IN. At least I think that was the name. (Only God, a few choice English teachers, my mother-in-law, and my mother know how to grammatically salvage that conference name! Where do the apostrophes go??? Rest assured, fellow readers, I will get a note about it!!)

While I hope that I don't have to make any major retractions or corrections, I'm certain that many of the details of this past weekend eluded me. All I know is that we had a great time getting to know these great people. Other than a few presenters, the conference was attended by Development Directers from Southern Baptist Children's Homes from across the nation.

Whole In One shared in ministry following dinner on Sunday night, the opening night. We did our zainy 'Back to the Basics' service which is a comedic look at Christian fundamentals. Everyone seemed to have a great time!! Our time concluded with a Brooklyn Tabernacle song, 'It's Not In Vain'. We were all mindful that 'what we do for Jesus Christ, is not in vain!'

The conference took place in New Harmony, Indiana. Until now, the town has remained largely undiscovered by the mainstream tourist groups. I'm afraid that this widely-read blog may create a massive influx of visitors and camera-toting 'persons' into this quaint little village. New Harmony is a beautiful, historic town with many shops, gardens, old homes, and sites for the whole family. I'm sure if you want more info, you can 'google' it!

In southern Indiana, there was some discussion about whether

Gail was playing the fiddle or the violin...

This was just behind the New Harmony Inn and Conference Center
