Below you will find additional information regarding this event. The goal of this Education Conference is to bring back into focus the primary purpose of Christian education in the context of the three angels' messages; to discern the difference between true Biblically based education and worldly education with some Bible sandwiched in; to review how God has led, and His teaching in our past educational history. Much of that history lies buried and forgotten, and needs to be revived and reviewed to learn its lessons.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <I><B>WHAT:</B></I><FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><I> </I></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >Special meetings to discuss issues of true education, educational developments of Adventist history, and the current needs of God's people; how we got where we are; what we can do; first hand experiences in educational endeavors seeking principles of true education, model schools that were set up in pioneer days of Seventh-day Adventistism and what happened to them, opportunities for questions and answers, etc.</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>WHERE:</B></I><FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><I> </I></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >At the BEREA GARDENS CENTER near Minnora, West Virginia</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>SPEAKERS:</B></I><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > Elvin Easton, Bob Gregory, Norbert Restrepo, Jerry Travers, Charles Galimore, Bob Jorgensen, Mark Heisey, Steve Meyer, and others</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><I><B>WHEN:</B></I></FONT><FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><I> </I></FONT>Starting Friday, November 25, at 9:00 <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >AM</FONT> and ending Sunday, November 27, 2011.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="1021" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 41 ><NOBR><div> Scroll over to see righthand side.</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="263"><div> Friday</div> <div> November 25</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="279"><div> Sabbath</div> <div> November 26</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="255"><div> Sunday</div> <div> November 27</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 96 WIDTH="199"><div> 9:00 - 10:30 AM</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#F3F3F3 WIDTH="263"><div> <I>“Education and the Three Messages”</I></div> <div> Bob Jorgensen</div> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#F3F3F3 WIDTH="279"><div> <I>“Training Children for Character Development”</I></div> <div> Bob Jorgensen</div> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#F3F3F3 WIDTH="255"><div> <I>“Foundations and Fundamentals of True Education”</I></div> <div> Larry Lesher</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 96 ><NOBR><div> 11:00 AM-12:30 PM</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#F3F3F3 WIDTH="263"><div> <I>“Learning to See Christ In Nature” </I></div> <div> Jerry Travers</div> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#F3F3F3 WIDTH="279"><div> <I>“The Waldensian Education” Part 1</I></div> <div> Norbert Restrepo</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#F3F3F3 WIDTH="255"><div> <I>"</I><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><I>The Waldensian Education" Part 2</I></FONT><I> </I></div> <div> Norbert Restrepo</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 23 WIDTH="199"><div> 1:00-2:00 PM </div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="263"><div> LUNCH</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="279"><div> LUNCH</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="255"><div> LUNCH</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 72 WIDTH="199"><div> 2:00-3:30 P.M.</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#F3F3F3 WIDTH="263"><div> <I>“The Problem of Suitable Textbooks”</I></div> <div> Bob Jorgensen</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#F3F3F3 WIDTH="279"><div> <B>DISCUSSION PANEL</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="255"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="72" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="255" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 23 WIDTH="199"><div> 4:00 - 5:00 P.M.</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#F3F3F3 WIDTH="263"><div> Sabbath Preparation</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#F3F3F3><NOBR><div> <B>5:00</B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B>PM</B></FONT><B> Sabbath Vespers</B></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="255"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="23" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="255" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 96 WIDTH="199"><div> 6:00-7:30 P.M.</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#F3F3F3 WIDTH="263"><div> <I>“Present Experiences and Present Day Challenges to True Education”</I></div> <div> Elvin Easton</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#F3F3F3 WIDTH="279"><div> <I>“Learning to Serve” </I></div> <div> Bob Gregory</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="255"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="96" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="255" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT FACILITIES AND LOCATION, CONTACT: 304-655-7389.
