OTHER INFO
-----------------------------------
<h4>AGENDA & DETAILS:</h4>Wednesday 25th: Travel/Arrival Day. There will be a casual welcome gathering in the evening at "Brush Acres." People should plan to travel Wed and check in at Brush Acres for lodging assignments.
*LODGING NOTE: For those requesting lodging, accommodations are for Wed thru Sat night in homes throughout the local area in group housing - some are rented homes while others are family homes provided by friends of The Grind to use for the weekend. We try to place ministries together as best we can. Only married couples will be allowed to room together. Unmarried couples are discouraged unless both parties are actively involved in skate ministry. Please note, rooms/beds may be shared (gender specific). Some guests may have airbeds/cots/couches. Transportation to/from Brush Acres will be arranged - usually with those who chose to rent cars or who drove in and are staying in the same house.
While it is our pleasure to bless each ministry with free housing, we ask folks to please respect the labor and cost required to arrange such housing by staying involved and on top of your registration process.
Thursday 9/26 – Sunday 9/29: We have a full slate of speakers and breakout sessions covering various topics to equip and encourage those in skate missions/ministry. There will be opportunities for fellowship and networking, skate sessions and contests, 2 local skate outreaches, live music, worship times, *food, fun... and more! (Bring your quirky talent for the talent show!)
*More details including food will be provided in Step 2 of registration. For conference newcomers, food is your typical, easy-to-serve, large-group fare. We try to provide options for those with dietary restrictions, but some folks pack snacks or run to the local grocery store. It's easy to find people who also want to make a grocery run once you're settled in.
