Pacific Northwest Winter Conference

COST: TBA but apprx $85 (meals inclusive starting Sat AM)

SPEAKER: Gary Thomas, http://www.garythomas.com (WWU grad, author of “Authentic Faith”)

REG INFO: Each campus does their own registration and promotion (and printing). Call WWU CCF Office by January 11th with a firm number. Pay at camp with one check if possible. Registration info for your group is due January 11th.

This a “C.S. Lewis of conferences” — Our Northwest conference typically has intellectually stimulating topics and inspirational speakers, with workshop content on serious life topics– Last time I was there they dealt with stuff like Christian perspectives on Poverty, Violence and War, and of course Love & Sex etc. The teaching will be great.

There will be approximately 300-400 there from around 15 campuses.
