COLLEGE STATION — The 53rd annual Town and Country Church Conference, to be held in four locations this year for the first time, will address health and technology issues facing rural and small town communities.
“The ongoing purpose of this conference is to provide church and community leaders with timely, accurate, educational information,” explained Dr. Greg Taylor, rural sociologist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service. “This enables them to be more effective in assisting the development of their communities.”
Conference topics include multi-cultural approaches to worship, how spiritual health affects physical health, how technology is changing congregations and communities, responding to and understanding of the biblical millennium and music for today.
The conference begins at 9 a.m. Oct. 6 in College Station. Registration is $40 and includes parking, lunch, materials and a tour of the George Bush Library.
Lubbock hosts the program at 9:30 a.m. Oct. 20; Fort Stockton, 9:30 a.m., Oct. 27; and Plano, 9:30 a.m. Nov. 5. Registration is $25 at these locations and includes materials, refreshments and lunch.
“These conferences will address high-priority issues that leaders from all types of communities must have some understanding of to effectively fulfill their roles and responsibilities,” Taylor said.
