This is not the normal Branson trip to see their shows, but is a conference put on by an independent group, Jubilee Conferences, and features some of the top gospel recording artists and preachers. We will leave Tuesday, April 19th and arrive in Branson Wednesday afternoon. The conference begins that night with a concert by David Phelps, Speaker Herb Reavis and comedienne Chonda Pierce. The conference will also include Johnny Hunt speaking (one of my favorites), Karen Peck and New River, Dixie Melody Boys, Ricky Skaggs and Squire Parsons in concert. We’ll leave at noon Friday, spend one night on the road, and be back in Austin around 3:00PM Saturday the 23rd.
You can pay the full amount of $300 if you wish (which includes the breakfast meal only), but at least a $150.00 deposit will be required no later than Sunday, March 20th. We should have on-line registration set up in the next few days.

Palacios, May 16,17,18
We have done many retreats in Palacios over the years, and one of the favorite formats has been a staff-led retreat. Many of you don’t get to interact much with our staff, and we should have a new youth person on staff by then. This will provide an excellent time with our ministry staff in a very informal, relaxed setting. The encampment at Palacios has nice motel-like rooms, double queen beds with private baths, and is right on the bay. The price is right, $125.00 per person, double occupancy, meals included. Departure is at 1:00 Monday and return about 4:00 on Wednesday. We’ll have four Bible study and worship sessions. Tuesday afternoon will be free for fishing, shopping, golfing, relaxing, etc.
The $125.00 is due no later than Sunday, May 1st.
If you are under 50 and would like to go on either one of these trips, contact me for a special “age dispensation.”
