I am going to be attending a National Youth Conference in Atlanta on November 16th through the 19th with a few people from my church, including our Youth Pastor. Our church allocated a certain amount of money for this event and therefore only myself and two others were going to go. Chris would also like to attend, but the cost for him to go would be $225.00 plus hotel expenses for 2 nights (basically a total of about $450.00)
We originally thought Chris would be working in downtown Atlanta on those dates and that we would be able to expense at least 2 of my hotel nights and that he would have to be working at his job while I attended the conference.
Since then, his work dates have been changed until December and he would really like to attend the conference with me.
Chris and I have both very recently, since Fall Break, rededicated our lives and our marriage to Christ (even though we have both been Christians for a long time, there were still big areas of our lives that we had not let go of and given over to God). We both feel led to be involved in the Youth ministry in our church and have for some time now.
We are humbly asking that family and friends consider contributing to Chris being able to go with me to this conference and would appreciate any donation that anyone feels led to give. Lord willing, he will receive enough to go, but if not we are going to try and make up the difference. Any contribution should be sent to:
Winchester Cumberland Presbyterian Church
P.O. Box 176
Winchester, TN 37398
Notate on Check: Chris/Melissa Brown - Youth Conference 2007
Thanks to everyone for reading this VERY wordy and confusing blog and also thanks to anyone who might consider donating a small contribution. Have a great week and love to all,
Melissa
