Yes, we do need to recharge and strengthen our relationships as colleagues. Unfortunately those of us who's wives can not attend due to work related responsibilities, do not need more time away from our wives. The ministers and wives conference was always intended to address this problem, but did not succeed in this goal for those of us who most need it. This is very unfortunate! Wish we could attend!</div><div><br></div><div>IC. Rev.

This is a great time to renew friendships and gain new ones. The added bonus is that you can come here with your spouse and/or other ministry staff. A number of your colleagues are coming on their own, so if your spouse cannot make it this year, don't let that stop you from attending. This year's conference is shaping up to be another great conference -- respected speakers, ample free time to fully recharge, and key events to help us as colleagues and friends to grow in our fellowship with each other.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#44546A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%">There is still time</span></b><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%"> </span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">to reserve your </span><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">"hotel room" </span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">for the upcoming Recharge CRCA Ministry Conference - 06-09 May 2013.
