Inspirational worship, ideas for congregational transformation, hands-on mission, and just plain fun —there’s a reason for every Disciple to attend the 2007 General Assembly in Fort Worth.

More than 8,000 members and friends of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) are expected to converge on the Fort Worth Convention Center Saturday-Wednesday, July 21-25. It will be hot outside, but the air-conditioned convention center will be cool and filled with activities for all ages.

Nightly worship services feature well-known preachers and inspirational music. Morning sessions will focus on church transformation with a different keynoter each day. On Monday and Tuesday afternoons, attendees can choose between four learning tracks: Transformation, Issues Forum, Faith Formation and Creativity.

Each track will offer an in-depth opportunity for learning, sharing and utilizing different learning styles. In business sessions, Disciples will discuss current issues and look at the denomination’s focus for the future.

The theme of the youth events will be “The Amazing Race.” Among the stops will be mission work, ethnic restaurants, games, devotions, music, workshops and team challenges similar to the television reality show. Preschool child care will be offered during all sessions. Elementary-age programming also is offered each day.

There will be something for all ages at Assembly. See www.disciples.org/ga to register and for the latest program information.

Don’t miss out!
