Comments from 2005

• I am so inspired by my participation in this conference.  I can't wait to get back to my home church to try out the new ideas.

• My congregation has been looking for a good Christian parenting program for a long time.  The information on ARK (Adults Relating to Kids) was very helpful and I plan to get it started in my church.

• It is always inspiring and helpful to be with other people who have a passion for children's ministry.

• The ideas I gleaned from the workshops I attended went way beyond my expectations.

• Rev. Bill Lee was awesome!

• The only thing I don't understand about this conference is why more people didn't take advantage of the opportunity.

• Hosting this conference has energized our whole congregation.  Thanks for the opportunity!

• A well organized and very helpful conference!

• I attended the 2001 conference in Indiana and was so disappointed when the one in Virginia was canceled last year.  This conference was very different from the first one but still inspiring.  I hope there are more Children Welcome! Conferences in the future.

• Taking part in this conference has deepened by commitment to the children in my congregation.
