As for the length of the meetings, I wouldn’t change a thing. Every night I walked away from the times of worship full of praise and the times of instruction not just fed but stuffed. Two and one half hours is long but I don’t think it is too long. Every moment was a precious gift from God.
Thank you.

Funny you should ask. I’ll be posting on the change in plans for the next WorshipGod conference shortly…

I think you should change the schedule of Worship God to 2009. I really want to go to Together for the Gospel and/or New Attitude in 2010. Thanks Bob!

Hallelujah!

I’ve been to about four billion church conferences, and about 6 hours into each one the you-don’t-measure-up feeling would start to creep in. Then someone would make a mistake, and I’d relax. I think new people who sit in our congregations feel the same way. Their fall-back position is that the people on the platform have it all together and are somehow different, better and farther along than they are. We should always do our best - just not take ourselves too seriously.

Really, really like your attitude about all this. It’s engaging.

I think having the conference theme and new cd with same focus really helped strengthen both. It certainly reinforced using the songs back home at our church. We are already using the song “The Lord Is” within our corporate worship and ties in excellently with the sermon series we are going through in the book of Job. And thanks again for the kind gift!

Great conference, and great reflection here on it! I read another comment here about possibly getting a DVD of the Friday night session. I would be interested in the other main sessions. I was unable to be there Wed. night or Thursday night because of travel and visiting a friend, but I would love to have a chance to see the singing time that was before the speaker, including, of course, Mark Altrogge’s announcements! When I arrived alone Thursday morning, everyone I talked to kept looking for a white wrist band and I had no clue what they were talking about!

Thanks again! Next time, sell tickets to those meetings at your house!!

Great is His faithfulness!

I think comment #8 is the most overlooked area of doing a conference. So much prayer and prep work goes into pre-conference but typically very little goes into post-conference. I think after our True Church Conference is when I am most vulnerable. We get so many wonderful words of encouragement, and praises to God (and those who give them are being biblical in doing so) after a conference and we are most prone to pride and self-gratification.

It’s then that we need to pray more and have a plan to lay all of the compliments and kind words at the Feet of Christ and say “behold the work of Your Hands!”

I cannot thank you enough for your careful planning for this conference. I appreciate all your above thoughts as you are seeking to improve every year you plan for one of these events. Our worship team is feeling immediate benefits from attending Worship God. I walked away more thankful for you and how God uses you to serve His church.
