Here at Standard Publishing we”re pleased to welcome the North American Christian Convention to our hometown. If you”re coming to Cincinnati in a few weeks, we hope to see you at our expansive, attractive display in the center of the convention”s exhibit hall. But, in addition to this, we are sponsoring several other opportunities to serve you and get acquainted that week.

Tuesday, July 1, 8:30 a.m.: Restoration Heritage Tour

 

Visit places where Restoration Movement history happened, including the site of the Campbell-Owen debate, the founding place of the American Christian Missionary Society, the sites where early Cincinnati churches worshiped and made significant contributions to the movement, and the beautiful cemetery where several important leaders of the movement now rest. Includes lunch on the campus of Cincinnati Christian University, and a reception at Standard Publishing.

Tuesday, July 1,, 8:30 p.m.: President”s Reception

 

Say hello to NACC President Cam Huxford and his planning team at this happy get-together after the convention”s first worship service. Because Cam is an alumnus of Atlanta Christian College, the school is sponsoring the reception. Because Cam is a member of Standard”s Publishing Committee, we”re helping out too. It”s free””there will be a crowd. Cam deserves the congratulations. Come join us there.

Wednesday and Thursday, July 2, 3, 7 a.m.: Minister”s Mentorship Breakfasts

 

These informal get-togethers give you the chance to ask questions of seasoned ministry leaders. The convention tries to create groups of leaders from churches of similar sizes to maximize the value for everyone.

Because Standard Publishing is committed to the ministry of our churches, we are co-sponsoring this event with Milligan College.

 

And because we believe in the whole ministry of the NACC, we”re encouraging you one last time to come to Cincinnati this summer. These events we”re sponsoring are only a hint of all the convention will offer you. We hope to see you there!
