Our 21st-century congregations are home to more cultural generations than ever before. These cultural generations each possess specific music, fashion, technology, attitudes, and values. Healthy and growing congregations are able to build bridges between these various cultural generations by honoring the best of tradition while embracing the future. The goal of Light On The Lakeshore 2011 is to help congregations and individuals recognize and address the issues a multi-generational church faces. In addition to the insightful presentations and discussions on Saturday, there will be multiple opportunities to participate in inspirational worship and praise throughout the weekend.
On this site you'll be able to register for the conference, as well as purchase your ticket for the Big Daddy Weave concert. Copies of Carol Howard Merritt’s latest book, Reframing Hope: Vital Ministry in a New Generation, may be ordered at a discounted price of $13. Information about book study guides and study groups, as well as additional registration forms and materials to help promote Light On The Lakeshore 2011 in your bulletins or newsletters, are available on this site. You can also view maps and get directions and other visitor info.
