Schedule

Special Projects & Nametag Contest

Silent Auction
Everyone is asked to bring at least one attractive, saleable item to auction during the silent auction. Theme baskets along with auction items may be dropped off at the registration area.

Nametag Contest
We are again asking churches to design their own name tags using the theme for the weekend, “Hidden Treasures.” Use your imagination to choose a name tag that will or will not be unique to your hometown or area of the country. Include your church name and individual’s name. An extra sample will need to be turned in upon arrival at the registration table for judging. Recognition will be made on originality, design and readability. Size limit: 3” x 5”.

Workshops
Workshops will be held Saturday morning, allowing free time to participate in the amenities of Seven Springs during the afternoon. A list of workshops will be sent to all churches separately.

Banquet Celebration Again!
Saturday evening’s highlight will be WMF’s Banquet. Come expecting a special evening together as we share a wonderful meal with fellowship followed by a time of worship and inspiration provided by Glenna Salsbury. This would be a great night to enjoy dressing up just a little.
