Together Called 2015 {it’s just about time to register}

9.9.14

Bear Creek Slide with registration date

You don’t need another conference. There’s a lot of great conferences out there. I’ve been to them. I’ve taken copious notes, gone to lots of seminars, and met a lot of people. I’ve been blessed by those conferences. But, I can tell you, we don’t need another conference to build some sort of pseudo-resume. We need connection; we need each other; we need rest.

Together Called was born to make that happen. It isn’t just another conference. It is an opportunity to come together, a place for husbands and wives to step out of the chaos called everyday life and be encouraged, a place for us to learn and fellowship together as individual couples and as a community. It’s a weekend set apart so that you can take a deep breath and commit to lock arms again with your spouse so you can press on in what you have been together called to do.

Please join us there.

The Bohlenders {they’re awesome}

We want you to come gather with us at this retreat designed just for you March 27th-29th, 2015 at the beautiful Bear Creek Mountain Resort in Berks County, Pennsylvania (easily accessible from Lehigh Valley International Airport and Philadelphia International Airport). Randy and Kelsey Bohlender, our keynote speakers, are going to bless our socks off; I just know it.

Because we’re friends—you reading my words here makes us friends—I’m giving you a bit of a heads up. Last year, Together Called filled in under 5 minutes. Yeah, no joke. We watched our inbox fill with registrations from couples from 14 different states across the country until every spot was gone, 4 minutes and 16 seconds later. We moved to a new venue this year to make room for a few more couples, but we’re expecting it to fill again. So, friend, go ahead and grab your phone now and set your alarm for 8:55pm EST on Sunday. Registration will open at 9:00pm EST. We’re eagerly anticipating seeing who those 100 couples will be to join us there this year.

Wanna know more? See the Upcoming Events page at www.sparrow-fund.org for more details like a schedule for the weekend, the cost, and that sort of thing.

I am not even sure what conquering the multiverse with laser kittens means, but it sounds like something good, something that needs to be on my to-do list.

I wonder how much shipping a sectional couch that will change the way I think about sitting to Philly from Wisconsin would cost. Probably too much considering I don’t even like the couch.

Maybe I should just pay the seller $100 to be my pen pal.

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
