ATTENTION: YA CONNECTION 2012 - September 14-16, 2012:
YOU are invited to Lynchburg, Virginia for the "Youth Aflame CONNECTION". It will be a reunion for those who missed the gathering in 2009, but it will be much more than just hugging, picture taking and remembering old times, although there'll be lots of time for that, too!!
All who gathered in 2009 felt that there was something special about this time and they expressed a spirit and
demonstrated the power that was still evident in this group after all these years. Most everyone expressed a desire to
meet again. This time we will attempt to accomplish the following plans while remembering that we are not trying to duplicate
the 2009 experience as all felt it was from God and we cannot manufacture what He chooses to do. Therefore, our goal this time
will be to connect with each other in such a way as to determine how we can continue to use our old spirit to further the cause of
Christ.
Let me say at this point that I do not want this to be my plans and ideas. I welcome your input, as well.
PLANS:
1. The Kirkley hotel will be our headquarters for the entire weekend. (note: Dottie and I stayed there recently and were pleased with
the renovations and improvements. The hotel knows what we want to accomplish and are enthusiastic about accommodating us.
A. The rates will be the same as last time - details will follow later.
B. The hotel will reserve all four conference rooms for us for the entire time.
*** One large dining and meeting room...
*** Three smaller meeting and display rooms for booths and displays...
C. The hotel will provide a buffet dinner each evening at reasonable cost so we can all eat together and fellowship around the tables.
The room can seat close to 400.
D. If we can insure our numbers, we can reserve the entire hotel for ourselves. If you and another YAer would like to room
together, the cost of the room can be split.
PURPOSES:
1. Reunite and enjoy fellowship with more time to talk, fellowship and pray together. Every effort should be made to locate those
who missed last time.
2. Enjoy once more the blessings of witnessing the miracle of Liberty Mountain that we were so much a part of so long ago.
3. Encourage the student body of LU with the amazing testimonies of the early graduates.
4. Display and promote all of the various ministries, businesses, and projects that all of you are involved in. The hotel has the tables,
skirts and dividers for the displays. ( There may be a small personal cost for these. )
5. CONNECT THE VARIOUS INTEREST GROUPS IN ORDER TO EXPLORE WAYS OF HELPING, ENCOURAGING, ADVISING
EACH OTHER AND PERHAPS WAYS OF WORKING TOGETHER. WE WILL LIST THESE GROUPS AND THE GROUP
FACILITATORS LATER.
6. Explore ways of aiding each others in times of need.
DETAILS:
1. The cost this year is only $20.00/per person!!! That will cover administrative and incidental charges that we will incur.
2. We tentatively have a chapel service with me speaking. Probably will be a ball game, and a Sunday morning service at TRBC.
I think we should probably plan to stay thru Sunday night in order to accomplish all we want. We might even do a concert
Sunday night. WE ARE PROTECTING OUR SCHEDULE SO AS TO ACCOMPLISH OUR GOALS.
3. Details and schedule will follow.
4. Sheila will be sending out an email with more instructions/information in the near future.
5. Help Sheila put together a missing persons list. She will be in contact with you very soon!
Thank you
I am already ALL EXCITED !!!!!
