What a wonderful weekend we had! On Saturday, Dad, Mom, Eric and I travelled to Lynchburg, VA for a encouraging and uplifting conference that celebrated the glory of the Lord! We heard about it through the Alexanders, who also went.The topic of this particular conference was how to establish family worship in the home.
The first speaker and the man who ran the show, Marc Jantomaso, gave a wonderful session on the glory of God's Word.
Eric Wallace was there to speak about the beauty of family worship in the home and in the church.
We were also able to hear Scott Brown speak which was a real treat! We have only heard him on tapes and CDs, and we enjoyed being able to actually "see" him speak! He gave a session on family worship leadership.
This is the view we had from the conference!
Sitting in the sun after lunch. It was so cold and windy there!
During the conference, we were challenged to memorize a passage from Psalm. Here, Dad is trying to rehearse it before sessions began again.
Afterward, Dad went to Scott Brown to get him to autograph a book that we had bought of his. He ended up staying and chatting with him and Mr. Pent for a good 15 minutes!
We joke Dad about him hanging around all of those "famous" people. :) We had so much fun at this conference and learned so much from it. It was a blessing to see Mom and Dad be encouraged. We also enjoyed being around so many like-minded families! ~Alli

Arnold Pent, the author of Ten P's In a Pod, was also there to speak on the fruit of family worship. He was hilarious!

"Praise the Lord!
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
Who delights greatly in His commandments.
His descendants will be mighty on the earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed."
~Psalm 112:1-2

Alli - We had heard about this conference but had completely forgotten about it!! I so wish we had remembered and could have gone. Thank you so much for sharing the pictures and your journaling about it. I'm glad your family enjoyed attending.
Mr. G, Jonathan, and Hannah have been to a Scott Brown conference so they would have enjoyed getting to see him again. And our family is looking forward to attending the Uniting Church and Family conference in Wake Forest end of November. Will y'all be attending that?
