One Week And Counting

Would you like an extra $50.00 to do Christmas shopping with?? Well register for the CEC conference by December 21st (exactly one week from today) and you can save $50.00 on the registration fee.

If you are a Children's Minister then you are bound to have at least one copy of a Susan Lingo book in your library. She has written so many resources giving teacher's ideas for lessons. Paul Learned (long time CEA friend and Director of Business Development for Standard Publishing) graciously submitted these quotes in regards to Susan Lingo and Rick Rusaw (both speakers at our conference this year).

"Susan Lingo ministers to children's ministers because she can perceive the way children think and thus design learning activities for concrete minds. This is why Standard Publishing has been thrilled over the years to publish Susan's outstanding resources for children's Christian education. Her object talk books, her craft books, her stories for children, her activities to develop Bible skills -- all these are effective because they connect with the way children think and learn about God! So Standard is glad to sponsor Susan Lingo at the 2008 CEC to help others who minister to children teach the way God made children to learn!"

You can find more about Susan Lingo's resources at http://susanlingobooks.com.

"Rick Rusaw is traveling around the nation helping churches become externally focused by linking with the service organizations in their community and providing valuable volunteers for meal-on-wheels, Big Brothers, Habitat for Humanity, etc. By benefiting and improving their communities, churches earn the right to be heard when they speak the Gospel of Christ's salvation. Standard Publishing is pleased to bring Rick to the 2008 CEC so he can share his vision of churches that communities cannot be without."

Sure hope you are making plans to be there. This year is going to be our best conference ever! I can just feel it!!
