It will be the most talked about conference in our history. PM me your address and I'll send you some brochures about the lodging and recreation that is close by. The HQ hotel is literally right on the beach.

WHY will it be the most talked about? What are the issues to be voted on this year? TV, Make-up, Jewelry, Facial Hair, etc? ...Not being silly, just curious.

I never knew it was against UPC rules to have a TV until I came to the faithchildforum a few years ago.

but only 10% of that!
lol!
i went last year- what a disappointment. I went to the one in salt lake a few Years earlier- not too impressed. The one a few Years previous in phoenix was very good but the last few i've been to have not been worth it. I doubt i go this Year unless i have to and I doubt that
I would dearly love to go this year. Would have a blast taking pics again and getting to see lots of friends. I'm in desperate need of some good Christian fellowship.
Florida should be fun. Wonder how many REACH THE BEACH ministry teams will be formed? I sure there will be many who are called....LOL

Dora,
I'll be heading up the beach brigade...I know my way around and will be glad to take a group of ladies to Clearwater Beach, Crabby Bill's and shopping!:highfive
Let's go parasailing...It is so much fun. :nod
Blessings, Rhoni
P.S. The services get spiritual occasionally so we can do that at night...but sunset on Clearwater Beach is a sight to behold...I can really get spiritual looking at what God has so wonderfully created!

Felicity,
I would be overwhelmed with delight if it were possible to see you and TB at the Conference this year. I have made plans to attend. It will be the first Conference that I've seen fit to attend since Milwaukee twelve or so years ago. I don't normally go to Conferences and Campmeetings willy nilly. However, I feel a leading to go this year.
The Conference that I attended before Milwaukee was the year before in Salt Lake City. I was in the business meeting when the "document from hell" was debated and ratified. Afterwards, the Milwaukee conference was a spiritual call to repentance... The Salt Lake City conference was a turning point for the UPCI, the Milwaukee conference was a strong call to repentance. She missed her best opportunity.
In my spirit, I feel that this upcoming conference will be another fork in the road for her. She will choose to take one or the other. Historically, with each dividing of the way, she has chosen to take the darker of the two ways.
I have carried a heavy burden for the UPCI in times past, having been devoutly loyal to every effort both locally and nationally since I was a child, but I now confess that burden has greatly slackened but my sadness has greatly increased.
Yes, I have plans on being there...probably in tears.

I was going to start a thread on this but does anyone know how they select the venues for General Conference?
I can't imagine they would choose places like Ohio and VA but not Colorado?
Does any particular state requesting consideration have to put on a dog and pony show to convince the monkey mucks?
Wouldn't it be a kick if GC would be scheduled in concurrance with the Demoncratic National Convention here (I know, I know the DNC is in August).
