MinistryCOM...inside scoop

Look, I'm talking about this early [the brochure's still in development; the web site isn't done] but that's only because I think it's that good. The MinistryCOM National Conference is coming up in Phoenix, AZ on September 7-8. It's the only national conference specifically for church communication professionals out there. And, it's top notch. And, I can tell you from going last year, it's going to be full of insight and inspiration for leading your church with excellence in communications.

This year I'm going to be there presenting two sessions. I had dinner last Friday at Hugo's Frog Bar in Naperville, IL with some of the other guys you'll meet out there.

• Dawn Baldwin, AspireOne
• Roland Jacobs, AspireOne
• Chris Forbes, Baptist General Convention
• Paul Braoudakis, Willow Creek Association
• Dan Schultz, Christ Community Church
• Steve Brewer, Community Christian Church
• Terrell Sanders, Main Street Enterprises

[You can tell by the photos of this group, it's going to be fun.]

The rest of these guys couldn't make it to Hugo's, but they'll be at MinistryCOM with us.
