David Kidd and I are headed out tomorrow to the Children’s Desiring God National Conference. Please pray for us as we go and learn about children’s ministy. Check back here for live blogs (or summaries–depending on WiFi access) of the sessions. This is the theme of the conference: As we understand all of life as it relates to God at the center, we will be more equipped to orient children to the centrality of God. Plenary speakers include John Piper, Paul David Tripp, Bruce Ware and David Michael. In addition, a number of diverse and experienced seminar leaders will provide practical help and encouragement for parents, teachers, leaders, and all who are invested in ministry to children and youth. I’m particularly excited about hanging out with Tim Jones (who is leading a seminar on family ministry) and Catherine McKenzie (who works for our friends at Christian Focus publishing).

Hey Jared -
My name is Patrick Aldridge and I attend Redeemer Fellowship in St. Charles Il. Joe Thorn’s church (actually God’s Church that Joe pastors). I also am attending the conference and would love the opportunity to meet you. Maybe we can share a meal or something. Let me know if you are interested.
Have a great day, and safe journey.
PA
I look forward to reading about it
