NATIONAL JUNIOR HIGH CONFERENCE DATES ANNOUNCED!

June 19-21, 2009 is the date for the second National Junior High Conference in the Church of the Brethren. The 2009 Conference will be held 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., so start making plans now for this special event!

Youth in sixth, seventh, and eight grades, along with their adult advisors, are invited to register in January 2009. A website currently with limited information can be found at www.brethren.org/genbd/yya/NatJrHighConf.

More information will be added as the Planning Committee makes decisions, so keep checking the website for additional details.

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