What is the ORANGE Conference??

On April 28 eleven preschool and children's teachers and staff traveled to Atlanta, Georgia for The Orange Conference. Those attending were Pam Walker, Tiffani Curtis, Kim Kilgore, Rachel Johnson, Jennifer Skellenger, Rita Tillison, Phillip Grylls, Connie Beckham, Johnny Johnson, Michele Preston, and Natalie Cummings. The Orange Conference is hosted by the writers of the curriculum we use on Sundays for our children. The color orange is made from the colors red and yellow. In relation to calling it The Orange Conference, red represents the family and yellow represents "light" the church. Two combined influences make a greater impact than two separate influences. The two combined influences can have a greater impact on the next generation for Jesus Christ. Churches who "think Orange" rethink the way they do ministry.

Over eighty breakout sessions and five main sessions were offered. Each of us had the opportunity to select sessions that related to our particular field of service. Each of the five main sessions began with awesome worship through music. We had a great time getting to know each other and sharing new ideas that will help us in ministry at cLife as we strive to make a difference.

No one has more potential to influence children than parents. We offer resources for parents to take home to add to what we are teaching on Sundays. The Small Talk resource provided to preschool parents gives ideas to use during various times throughout the week with your preschooler thus enabling you to become an "Orange" parent.
