Pre-con labs I attended today

Here are the pre-conference labs I attended today at D6:

A Grace Based Strategy for Family Ministry by Tim Kimmel
Devotions Kicked Up A Notch by Tina Houser
Our Newest Milestones Developments & Milestones FAQ's by Brian Haynes
Mobilizing Families to Go & Be by Thad Harris
How to Motivate Dads to Be Spiritual Leaders by Larry Fowler

It has been a busy day full of information and great ideas. I will share a few later. Here are a few quotes that spoke to me:

Satan knows them (our three inner needs) and provides counterfeits. (Kimmel)
Parents need to "treat our kids the way God treats His" (Kimmel)
Leaders who mobilize families to Go & Be must first be moved themselves, prioritize God's Mission in what is communicated, & prioritize God's Mission in what is planned. (Harris)

Family devotions bring us together in a society that keeps us busy and separate. (Houser)
Dads need to know their unique responsibility. (Fowler)
