Bloggin' Ya'll

Hi All!!!
Just wanted to leave a quick note (mostly because I am so excited that I finally got "accepted" to blog! (The internet...it's great and it terrible all at once!) Anyway...I just wanted to take a moment to thank all that made our regional conference wonderful!! Diana, Barbara, Lisa, Carol, Elaine, and I bet I missed someone, but you are all blessing and made these events go smoothly. And could Zephyr Point it be any more beautiful? It was such a great get away to recharge, renew and learn all at the same time! We were a small group, but I hope in the future we can have more of our regional "folk" attend. I know in these dire economic times, we (and our church) are feeling the pinch of all the "extras". But I have hope that more churches and presbytery offices will consider this valuable for their staff. It's certainly gives me a new look on my job and myself and I always strive to find ways to implement what I have learned. Anyway...I will get down off my soap box (or office chair :) and send out my encouragement and prayers to all.
In Christ,

Denver Anyone

Hello everyone,
It doesn't seem like it has been a year, but here we are just a couple of weeks away from the National Conference in Denver. Last year we got started on this Blog and it doesn't seem that anyone is paying much attention. Please let us know if you are coming to Denver by leaving a comment.
