Planet Wisdom Conference

From Mark Beard at St. Peter Lutheran Church in Dubuque, Iowa.

I am not sure if you know of the Planet Wisdom Conference that happens across the country each year. This year their convention theme is based on the last 14 hours of Jesus' life before the cross. They call the convention "A Walk with Christ To The Cross". I have taken my high school youth group to Minnesota to this event for the past four years. It was a great event with over 2400 people attending. The Skit Guys and the band Dutton along with Mark Matlock (Planet Wisdom) and radio personality Dawson McAllister work and perform together for this high power weekend. It was a great experience as my youth and the adult leaders were in deep discussion throughout the weekend.

Well now to my point. On Friday, February 19th and Saturday, February 20th, theevent will be presented live via satellite. This event is a community wide outreach and discipleship event that will be shown in a theatre in Dubuque. This is the first of a year full of events that I plan to present. I hope that you can bring some of the youth and their friends. This is a Friday night and Saturday day event. For those of you that need a place to stay on Friday night, you can use the youth house at St. Peter to crash. I just ask that you have at least one adult leader that will stay. This message is already long enough so I have attached information and promotional information. Because Northeastern Iowa Synod rocks! - if you order tickets before January 25, contact me and mention the code word MEB and the cost per ticket will be only $15.80 with one ticket free (for leaders) for every ten tickets purchased. Hope you can make it to this great and worhshipful event.
