2009 Parent/Teen Conference: “Dig Deeper”
November 13 & 14
Mikado Baptist Church, Macon, GA
 
Dig Deeply • Sift Carefully • Grasp Frimly!
Finding treasures of value requires going below the surface level. If you are willing to dig, and your passion for Christ involves being led on an adventure designed by our Creator, then make plans to join us for a dynamic Parent/Teen Conference. We will be digging to uncover a deep faith, a deeper journey, and the deepest walk imaginable with God! 
 
The goal of Dig Deeper is to equip parents and teenagers with the biblical tools that are essential for strengthening their relationships with family, teens, friends, and God. “Excavating” sessions on various topics will provide direction and support to all attendees. Sessions will include: Discover Your Destiny; Deeper Relationships; Protecting the Home; Helping the Uncommitted; and much more! Receive a $10 discount by registering before September 13, 2009.
