Michigan District Pastors' Conference

Joshua and Stefani headed to Traverse City to the Grand Traverse Resort for the All Pastors’ Conference. The subject of the conference was “All Who Wander Are Not Lost…”. The focus was the gap in attendance of the college age and the early twenties demographic. There were two dynamic speakers. Rev. Tony Cook, who is currently a professor at Concordia Seminary St. Louis. Our second speaker was Ken Ham. He began the Answers in Genesis movement and started the Creation Museum. We heard so much useful information and are excited to apply what we have learned. 
The conference wasn't all business. We had some free time to shop and go out to eat. Of course we went to Target. We also went to our favorite restaurant in Traverse City, Mackinaw Brewing Company. 
It was also great to see people from other churches we have met over the year. Stefani enjoyed catching up the ladies at the the wives lunch. She can't wait to see them again at the Katie Conference.

The view from the glass elevator. You can see Grand Traverse Bay in the distance.

We stayed on the 11th floor. The wives lunch was on the 16th floor. 

 

Our room...the bed view.

Our room...the view from the door. Check out the fall colors through the window.
 

Who needs a phone by the potty?
 

The view from our room. This does not do the trees' colors justice. 

The conference room that we spent quite a bit of time in.

God's Blessings,
