Great Expectations:  Planting Seeds for Sunday School Growth
   This conference will ask the question:  "What do you expect from your Sunday School
   ministry?"  LifeWay Adult Ministry Specialist David Apple answers that question by sharing
   the concept of making Sunday School the "secone step" in your church's disciple-making
   process.  Striking a balance between biblical community and biblical content, a Great
   Expectations Sunday School will bridge the gap between the inflluence of small groups and
   discipleship groups in your church.
 
Mark Donnell, Conference Leader
The BIG GIVE:  Sharing Jesus Through Your Sunday School"
   Sunday School is designed to be the evangelistic arm of the Church.  But too many have
   become inward focused and content to "keep what we've got for ourselves."  We must reclaim
   the birthright of Sunday School and become evangelistic again.  This conference will discuss
   effective ways and resources to help your Sunday School and church use outreach to "give
   big, so more can come home!"
