• In September, we published an extensive, twelve-page brochure about Following Christ 2008. If you haven’t received one, please contact info@followingchrist.org to request a copy.

• We extended the first deadline for the Bosscher-Hammond Prize Competition to October 15 (now past, obviously). Submissions had been very strong, with scores of entries in early, but some of our publicity efforts were still under way, so we wanted to give newcomers a good chance to enter.

• We particularly draw your attention to the expiration of the $50 early-bird discount on conference registration, which occurs on November 1.

• Our series of Director’s Videos continues, with #7 released on October 8 with information all about the optional Day Ahead events.

• We’ve launched a system to aid delegates seeking a roommate. See the FAQ for details.

• We’ve made a substantial set of updates to online conference information, especially in these areas:
  • plenary speakers and the worship band
  • clickable conference schedule
  • Day Ahead event information
  • how to pray for FC08
  • comprehensive roster of leaders and speakers
  • Extensive program details for the Business track
  • Graphic resources to help promote FC08
  • The full conference brochure is now available as a PDF download (1.9MB)
