"Share His Story" at the International Convention in Greensboro
 Join hundreds of other Christians in Greensboro, North Carolina, for the 92nd international convention of the International Lutheran Laymen's League. The 2009 convention, held July 16-19, is a great time for worship and fellowship under the theme "Share His Story" (Psalm 66:16). This year's theme is a reflection of storytelling being deeply rooted in the history of North Carolina.
The convention kicks off for the men on Thursday with a trip to Adaumont Farm, home of NASCAR driver Kyle Petty, for an afternoon of fishing, skeet shooting, southern eating, recognition of past Int'l LLL officers, and more. While the men enjoy the beautiful scenery, women convention attendees will watch Woman to Woman® Host Phyllis Wallace conduct a special on-site interview with Pattie Petty during the women's luncheon. Petty is the founder, CEO, and chairman of the board for an organization that provides life-changing camp experiences for children with chronic medical conditions.
The convention shifts into high gear on Friday with a fellowship luncheon hosted by retired NASCAR great Ned Jarrett, outreach workshops covering a variety of topics to help you share the story of salvation, and a Family Night trip to the fictional town of Mayberry to re-live the excitement from "The Andy Griffith Show".
Saturday offers the chance to learn firsthand how God is using LHM globally to reach the unchurched during a breakfast with international directors and to listen to God's Word mightily proclaimed by Pastor Ken Klaus, Speaker of The Lutheran Hour®, during the "LHM Celebrates the Savior" worship event.
A four-day registration costs $95, a two-day registration (or registration to the REACH Conference) costs $65, and a child/youth registration (ages 6-18) costs $65. Lodging, meals, and entertainment options have an additional cost. Call 1-800-876-9880, fill out and return the registration form in the March/April issue of The Lutheran Layman newspaper, or register online. Visit www.lhm.org/convention for more information. We hope to see you in Greensboro!
