Adam Hamilton, Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas and the author of "The Ministry of Administrative Assistants." She will challenge you to approach your tasks and people differently. As a secretary, administrative assistant or volunteer you are the gatekeeper, the bridge builder, keeper of the information and person with your finger on the pulse of the congregation. Join us to look at your ministry , the partnership and the level of support you need to be effective in your position as Christ walks alongside you.
     This conference will include an opportunity to "Spill our Saucers" in the opening Coffee and Chat as we share concerns , questions and solutions about our day to day duties; election of officers; and vote to changes in our bylaws.   Please make your reservation to attend this 2016 PAUMCS FALL Conference as soon as possible.
