As previously announced, the presenter will be the Reverend Carol Howard Merritt, who will lead a program based on her soon-to-be-released book, Reframing Hope: Vital Ministry in a New Generation.
The program will provide 20 contact hours of continuing education as well as ample time for rest and recreation, including stops at Grand Cayman Island and Cozumel.
To receive a brochure please email Martha Hoverson (aka Songbird). The rates this time (this is a longer cruise) will be $600 for an oceanview cabin and $545 for an inner cabin, both rates at double occupancy. The fees include a copy of Carol's book, which will be sent to participants ahead of time, and which we hope you will read before the cruise.

Just as last year...the dates conflict with our church's Spiritual Renewal Weekend. I'm not chairing it this year, but our speaker will be Bruce Reyes-Chow and I would hate to miss him. :(
ReplyDeletewell, I'm just dreaming and imagining and having fun looking at flights right now, so....
ReplyDeletewhat time does the boat leave? do you know?
It's a 4 p.m. departure, and that usually means you can start getting on the ship around noon.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Zorra, rats!!! We moved it two months earlier!
ReplyDeleteOK, so I have a really dumb question...can you get seasick on a cruise ship? I was an oceanography major in college and got so seasick on the 175 foot research vessels that I had to quit. I mean terribly, violently ill 24/7. But I would so love to go!
ReplyDeleteMumPastor, check out the comments at last week's Monday post. This was discussed. It's such a big ship that, while there is some funny feeling in the legs at first, most folks (incl. me) don't feel as if they are on a boat. YMMV!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I have the book on order and am excitedly awaiting its release! (Doing my homework in advance...)
ReplyDeleteIf SongBird is reading this... I want to go but I can't seem to email you.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

I'm thinking about it... seriously thinking about it. dgv
ReplyDeleteGot it, Holly!
ReplyDeleteMumPastor, I took Dramamine for the first day of the first cruise and was fine after that. For this year's I was fine without anything.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am *famous* for getting horribly sick on a whale watch, so use that as a guide.
Sweet! Just sent in my registration (well, at least gave it and the check request to our secretary). Can't wait for another wonderful conference - and this time I think my mom is going to come. Watch out, Carribean!
