Reception:
After registering (on Sunday June 27th only), you are
invited to visit the CFC Reception area from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. There will
be refreshments, as well as assistance available to help you with your
luggage and getting settled into your dormitory room.
Standard of dress:
Please be aware that this is a serious matter that has become a major issue
of concern. The standard of dress for the conference is found in the
following scriptural principles:
- Our dress should be modest (not tight, not revealing, not too short)
- We should not be a stumbling block to others
- Whatever we do we should do it to the glory of God.
Parents and guardians, please be certain that you and your children are
aware of these standards of dress, and are compliant. Know that they
are based on a desire to honor the Lord and to prefer one another in
Christian love.
Nurseries:
The nurseries (ages 0-2 years old) depend primarily on the parents of the
children using the nurseries and others attending the CFC for help
during both morning and evening sessions. If you have children this age
you may be called upon to help with a maximum of 2 sessions during the
week. Additionally it would be of great help to have individuals volunteer to serve everyday, in either the morning or evening time,
in one of the nurseries to provide continuity for the children.
This schedule will be worked out prior to your arrival at the
campus. Others without nursery age children that can help are asked to
indicate this on your Registration Form. There will be specific instructions
concerning your nursery responsibilities at Registration when you arrive.
If you are able to help more than twice or are unable to help, please
indicate this in Special Information on the back of your Registration Form
so that those scheduling the nurseries may be advised. There will be no
provision for nursery age children during the afternoon fellowship times.
Children:
There will be nurseries and classes for children through
eighth grade during all the ministries. The
children's classes will focus on the life of the apostle John.
Special Note to parents: Longwood University is located in a small town with a small shopping area across the street and other
attractions within easy walking distance from
the dormitory. Children ages 14 and under must be accompanied by an adult, group leader, or chaperone during the conference.
Teens (Grade 9-12):
Teens will also meet as a group for morning prayer (see schedule for time).
The teenagers will have their own morning ministry.
During the fellowship time in the afternoon the
teens will have their own group fellowship. Teenagers should sit with their families during
worship and remain with their parents or guardians during the evening ministry.
Recreational Facilities:
The university is providing access to a number of recreational facilities including soccer fields, beach volleyball courts, tennis courts,
racquetball courts, swimming pool and more. These facilities will be available during afternoon recreation time.
The university does not provide equipment, balls, racquets, etc. for these facilities, so please bring personal recreation equipment
if you desire to use these facilities. There is an additional recreation center available for those over 18 years of age
that includes a track, weight room, and other facilities.
Fellowship Groups:
Brothers and sisters will be asked to share around the morning and evening ministry with the emphasis on what the Lord has
revealed to them at the Conference. These groups will be small so that
all will have the opportunity to share. We believe that our fellowship
times are in many ways as important as the ministry and we therefore
encourage all to attend and participate in these times.
Bookstore:
The conference bookstore will be located in a location to be announced later. The times will be posted in the
handbook that you will receive
when you check in. The books will be available for purchase at near-cost
prices.
