2010 L’Abri Conference

The brochure for the 2010 L’Abri conference in Rochester, Minnesota arrived in the mail today. And while we won’t be able to attend—we’ll be “recovering” from the arrival of the newest baby Opus—it’s still fun to go through the brochure, look at the schedule, and think “what if”.

The 2010 conference’s theme is “Making All Things New: The Power of the Gospel to Transform all that it Touches” and here are some of the planned sessions:

• “Christ’s Comprehensive Work of Renewal: Jesus overcomes the Seven-Pointed Curse” - Jerram Barrs
