What to expect now that you're registered

  • The Primary Leader's email address will be used for sending your congregation the Gathering Getting Ready resources.
     
  • The $125 per-person deposit is non-refundable. There is an additional $75 processing fee for registrations that have been paid-in-full and then cancelled prior to May 25, 2009. No refunds are given for cancellations made after May 25, 2009, or for no-shows in New Orleans.
  • Housing assignments and registration confirmations will be emailed to the Primary Leaders at the end of January 2009. Primary Leaders can begin making reservations with their assigned hotel in March.
     
  • The Getting Ready materials and Bible studies have begun to be sent out to adult leaders. They will continue to go out monthly via e-mail beginning in January and are posted online. These resources are an important part of preparing your group and leaders for their experience in New Orleans and what it means to serve in the mind and manner of Christ.
