One of the things this summer I’m looking forward to is CMX. The Children’s Ministry Expo. Last year was it’s inaugural year and it was a fun time. (Not to mention I turned 30 there and told my parents I was going to have a baby!) This year will be ever bigger and better…I’m going back and bringing baby Sparrow along with me. Here’s all the official details:
CMX (www.cmxpo.com) has now released the 2011 schedule for the Children’s Ministry Expo in Lexington, KY July 6th and 7th. Wow!
Not only are there 3 tracks – Leadership, Basic and Special Needs
— but the workshop leaders are a virtual Who’s Who of children’s ministry. And of course you see the biggest lineup of resources in kidmin.
New this year!
Kidz Blitz will be conducting a 60 minute FX Live in the exhibit hall highlighting some of the popular features of this family experience.
Jim Wideman is heading up a Kidmin Genius Bar with his Infuse coaches to provide free diagnostics/repairs for whatever is ailing your children’s ministry.
The new Pre Expo hours (Wednesday, July 6th 6p-10p) give you a chance to check out resources and visit Jim’s Genius Bar before the rush.
Five special needs champions lead a track designed to educate and inspire churches who are in the development phase and the progressed stages of special needs related programs.
