I just figured I'd give a few of the important details upfront, even
though they're all mentioned somewhere on the website.

The conference is hosted by Cedar Park Assembly (which I never heard
of until this conference came up) and will be all day on Saturday,
August 14. Its cost is $40 through July 14th, then on the 15th it
goes up to $45 (yeah, I'm really panicking about that). And the
cost includes two meals.

I'm trying to find out more about the workshops... it seems you can
choose one out of four that are offered, and they only give the
title and the name and description of the people teaching them, but
not really a description of the workshops themselves. And
unfortunately they don't seem to list a contact person about the
conference, but my pastor said he's been in contact with someone in
charge of it, so I'll see if I can have him forward my questions.
Let me know if you have any additional questions you'd like me to
have him include.

Right now I'm torn between Martha Coelho's "Loving Every Single
Moment" and Joel Chalupny's "Dating With a Purpose". On the one
hand, I don't feel like the whole dating/marriage thing is a
priority in my life, but over the past year I've been wondering if
maybe it should be, or at least that maybe I should be learning more
about it. Then again, it's more likely geared toward people who are
already interested in finding a mate. But I also don't want to
attend the "Loving Every Single Moment" workshop if all it's going
to be is the "how to enjoy being single" message, because that's
something I already know.
