NATIONAL JUNIOR HIGH CONFERENCE DATES

June 19-21, 2009 are the dates for the second National Junior High Conference of the Church of the Brethren.

The 2009 Conference will be at James Madison University in Harrisonburg , VA , just off Interstate 81. A maximum of 1,300 junior high youth and their advisors will be able to attend because of limited seats in the auditorium. Start making plans now for this special event!

Youth in sixth, seventh and eighth grades, along with their adult advisors, can register in January 2009. A website with limited information has begun at www.brethren.org/genbd/yya/NatJrHighConf More information will appear as the Planning Committee makes decisions. Keep checking the website for additional details.

The first National Junior High Conference took place in June 2007 at Elizabethtown College with space for only 800 participants. Registration for that event were closed two months before the conference because all of the spaces were filled. We look forward to another terrific event!
