Andrew Bauer I thought I had written it down during the conference and now can't find it. What was the pastor and church who were profiled on a video during the conference? (You know, the technical glich that made all smaller church pastors happy that big churches have those too!) :-)

David A. Dupler Does Willowcreek have a small group conference planned that would be on their campus for 2010? Other than Saddleback...are their any other good Small Group Conferences scheduled for 2010?

How awesome would it be to see this kind of thing happen in our churches on a regular, day-to-day, basis! The courage to bring into the light what has been in darkness for so long, because you trust the church to, in truth and love, hold you up in grace while holding you accountability. What a paradigm shift, to realize that we do come to God broken, and we always have areas of our lives where we need to improve, rather than assuming that because we're in church everything is fixed already.

Kathy Our church intends to run our first fall campaign in 2010. Any recommendations for a campaign that is simple enough for the inexperienced to kick-off, aims to connect all church members to small groups, and appeals to a large sector of a congregation? Thanks for any feedback!

Thanks for those comments Heather. I've been thinking a lot about my small group and the challenges that I've seen in the couples. May God give us grace and growth and me wisdom as the group leader.

Willow Creek Association - Group Life And a special thanks to Dave Treat - www.thinkingsmall.net. Dave was a part of the team that crafted the original conference for 2009. That foundation he laid gave us a huge start on the 09 event and shaped a lot of our thinking. Dave was gracious and joined our team of bloggers and tweeters on conference day as a volunteer. Check out his blog and follow him on Twitter!

Jason Schwartzman I don't know if this is the right place to ask but does the Simply Youth Ministry conference "replace" the Shift conference or will the Shift conference happen too?
