Disciples Young Adult Conference:
"Recharting Our Faith in the City of Second Chances"
October 7-10, 2010 Las Vegas, NV
Do our perceptions of the world still work when it comes to the church, or are we still using outdated "maps" to guide us? Do our churches' views on racism, sexism, sexuality, politics and culture in general still have relevance, or do we need to revisit and renew these topics in order to relate to an everchanging world? All young adults are invited to come together and discuss these topics and more this at the first ever Disciples Young Adult Conference this Fall in Las Vegas, NV - the "Capitol of Second Chances."
Registration and more event information coming soon.
