Attention, Associate Pastors and all those who care about Associate Pastors:

It is time to register for the 2008 Church of God Associates Retreat! This year’s retreat offers associates a beautiful setting to play, laugh, worship, and fellowship with colleagues in ministry. What an opportunity for spiritual renewal.

The retreat will be held on April 23–26, 2008, at the Whitehall Camp and Conference Center, Emlenton, Pennsylvania.

The exciting line-up of speakers includes:

• Vickie Doyle, pastor of learning and serving at Meadow Park Church in Columbus, Ohio. Topic: Sabbath
• Jeff White, Indiana Ministries SHAPE. Topic: Pastoral Health
• Nigel Parker, Board of Pensions of the Church of God. Topic: Finances and Pensions
• Women in Ministry: A Panel Discussion. It is our hope that several female associates can attend this year to deal with this topic.

The cost is only $150 for the whole thing: motel-style lodging with private baths; all meals and snacks; recreation facilities at the center and close by, including basketball, sand volleyball, fishing, golfing (additional cost), hiking; and conference center fees. Where else are you going to find that kind of deal! Check out the camp Web site at www.whitehallcamp.org. All first-time attendees are eligible to receive a discount.
