YAM JAM

The YAM Jam Conference will gather PC(USA) leaders engaged in some aspect of Young Adult Ministry to cooperate, encourage and stimulate each other's ministries — a process similar to musicians' "jam" sessions.

Carol Howard Merit, author of Tribal Church, and Bruce Reyes-Chow, moderator of the 218th General Assembly, will be the featured speakers. There will also be a number of workshops, seminars and opportunities to jam with other folks involved in collegiate and young adult ministry. For more information, visit the conference Web site.

Hosted by PACHEM, the Presbyterian Association for Collegiate and Higher Education Ministries and the PC(USA) Office of Collegiate Ministries.

The Big Tent: And the Word Became Flesh — an extraordinary celebration of Presbyterian ministries

This first of a kind celebration will offer participants the opportunity to experience 10 different  Presbyterian ministry conferences — all under one roof — over a three-day period.  Partner groups will hold their conferences simultaneously and members of those groups can attend as they do traditionally. The added feature of the Big Tent allows additional “common time” for participants to attend workshops that might be outside their core interest or affiliation.  Vibrant worship, blessed meals and an uplifting Saturday night celebration will also be times this entire Presbyterian family will come together as one. Conference partners include New Immigrants Consultation, National Multicultural Church Conference, National Elders Conference, Committee on Ministry/Committee on Preparation for Ministry Consultation, Racial Ethnic Convocation, Stewardship Conference, Communicators Network, Peacemaking Conference, Biennial Social Justice Conference and the Evangelism and Church Growth Conference. Visit the Big Tent Web site.

So if you’re a card carrying partner member or a novice who wants to come and experience these different ministries for the first time, save the date:  June 11-13, 2009,  Atlanta, Georgia. Download a flier.
