SUMMARY:Youth & Kids E3 Event
DESCRIPTION:Equipping + Encouraging + Engaging = E3!\nE3 events bring together children’s and youth ministry leaders from across the BCM/D for three energizing hours of practical training\, meaningful encouragement\, and real connection. Each gathering features a mix of large-group learning and smaller kidmin/youth-specific breakouts so leaders can grow together and dive into what matters most in their ministry area. We’ll meet in one central space with an additional breakout room\, keeping everything simple\, relational\, and impactful. And yes\, snacks and drinks are on us (because ministry is better with treats!). \nCome engage\, get equipped\, and leave encouraged to keep serving the next generation with joy and confidence. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Event Schedule\n				9am Breakfast Fellowship \n9:15am Encouragement  \n9:30am Equipping – Children’s Ministry and Youth Ministry Breakout Session \n11am Engaging – Large Group Roundtables \n12:00pm Wrap up & Dismiss\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Children's Ministry Breakout Session with Kris Buckman\n				Cracking the Bible Code: Fun Ways to Teach Kids Biblical Literacy\nHelp kids fall in love with their Bibles and build strong foundations for lifelong biblical literacy!
