A Faith Event for all people 

                                                     (and all budgets!)

Convocation Only: Bring key members of your congregation to the Saturday (August 7) keynotes and workshops, and pay only the nominal event registration fee of $30 per person ... lunch included!

Do the Rally and the Convocation: Come Friday night for the mission rally. Spend the night (your event-discount room reservations, $164 plus local taxes, includes four water park passes!), then, experience the convocation on Saturday, while young children have their own program and infants and little ones receive professional care.

Do the "Youth Track": Make it a youth even for your high-schoolers (in 9th - through 12th grades this fall.) Come Friday night for the rally, and there'll be free time to "do Kalahari" afterwards. Rooms will accommodate four youth and an adult chaperon ... a fifth youth at only $20 more. Or, come Saturday morning in time for worship. Then everyone's off to designated work sites for the morning's service events. (You will need to provide adult transportation for your group.) At noon, it's back to Kalahari for lunch ... and for some free time at the park!

Come a Day Earlier: Make a mini-vacation of it!  Add Wednesday or Thursday night at Kalahari at the event-discount room rate, and spend Thursday and Friday at Cedar Point and some of the other North Coast attractions!

Stay a Day Later: Add Saturday night to your Kalahari stay (event discount applies if you've booked Friday night also), do supper at Kalahari or one of many area restaurants, and join your Sandusky Area Lutherans in Mission host and our preacher, Dr Powell, for Sunday worship at the Kalahari ball room.
