It’s that time of the year again when Ignite begins to send you emails concerning its yearly leadership gathering.
We’re very excited this year because it’s going to be a weekend of “new”. Although we’ve loved who we’ve been in the past and what we’ve brought forth to conversation, we’ve felt it was time for an Ignite face lift and with any cosmetic surgery—a new look will come forth.
Here is what’s new this year at Ignite:
New Location: we’ll be hosting our gathering this year at the Sullivant Retreat Center in Norman, OK—you can check out the retreat center at www.sullivantretreat.com Lodging, gatherings, and food are all centralized in one building—housing will be 4-5 per room with bathrooms, showers, bedding, and linens in each room.
New Format: our new format will consist of breakout groups that are separated by individual interest i.e. creative arts, church planting, youth ministry, etc… You will meet with these breakouts three times over the weekend. Also, the new format will have two focused times of worship and individual reflection. And an additional piece to the new format is having some organized activities planned for Friday after lunch for those who want to participate (golf, paintball, fishing, etc…).
New Opportunity: We are very excited about this opportunity that will be available to everyone that wants it and that time allows. We’ve felt over the past few years that each individual comes to Ignite carrying with him or her stresses, situations, or ministry restlessness that would greatly benefit from an impartial listening ear and a voice of wisdom. This year we will have an experienced ministry leader who will be with us the whole weekend solely there to listen, counsel, and pray for those who would love someone to talk to. I think we all could benefit from this opportunity.
New Cost: I saved this one for last. :) One of our financial objectives is to keep the price as low as possible so that all that want to attend can afford it and for the last 4 years we haven’t raised our price. But what we’ve created is an unrealistic revenue flow to match our expenses. In lieu of that tension, we’ve raised the price to $135.00 for the weekend. This price includes: lodging for 2 nights, 5 meals, free resources (new to this year), scholarships for attendees, and basic registration costs to cover weekend expenses. If money is an obstacle for you to attend we will do our best to remove it, so please let us know.
The dates for Ignite 2010 are May 6th-8th (Thursday night thru Saturday @ 12:00 pm)and you can register at www.igniteleadership.org
In our next email, we’ll be letting you know what the weekend will look like and who will be leading out each conversation. We expect a special and impactful weekend this year. Please be in prayer now for the direction, speakers, and those who might attend. We definitely want God’s movement and inspiration in everything that we do.
