I’m holding a MacArthur Study Bible in the Russian language. We are enjoying so many great interactions with people from all over the world at this conference. Our heads are ready to explode from what we are learning.
Besides a packed program with so many great speakers we have been treated to some beautiful music from a men’s choir and the chorale from Master’s College. Jubilant Sykes sang Blessed Assurance…amazing! Violin and piano arrangement of Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus was exceptional, too.
The campus of Grace Community Church in Panorama City has many food stations, water stations, coffee stations, ice cream stations, kettle corn stations. We get breakfast and lunch as part of the program and then they bring in 12 different food trucks for dinner options that we pay for. Yesterday’s lunch was brought in by a local restaurant/caterer and they served burrito bowls with all the fixins. Today I believe we get a choice of Chick-fil-A or Deluxe Hot Dogs. Several people have commented that the food offerings make them feel like they are on a cruise.
There is an amazing book tent with prices 40% below cost on many books. One group in the book tent is offering leather Bible restoration.
So much to digest brain wise and food wise!
This sounds like a most interesting and wonderful conference. From teaching to music to food! Great picture of you two.
Nick and I went to the first Truth Matters Conference. It was amazing then and I am sure it this one probably is even better. I think we bought one of those Russian Bibles for Pop. Jubilant Sykes is one of my all time favorites.
What a wonderful opportunity! My youngest attended the Master’s University, so we had the chance to experience Grace Community while visiting him. Enjoy!
…continue to have a great time.
Sounds interesting
Wow sounds impressive and sounds like you are having a great time.
So you are at Pastor MacArthur’s church! My husband and I visited there once many years ago but it was too far of a drive from Long Beach for us to go regularly on Sunday mornings. I am glad you are enjoying yourselves and learning and being inspired. Enjoy the rest of the conference!
It sounds awesome Ellen. We all need to be inspired and refreshed and this sounds like a fabulous opportunity!
I like the title of the conference, “Truth Matters,” because it does! Sounds like a wonderful and challenging experience!
Oh my, what a wonderful opportunity, Ellen, refreshing of our spirit is so needed now days! I always came home from our retreats so renewed and refreshed. Be blessed my friend.
