LAKE COUNTY – Lake County ministers will be treated to a very special event on Feb. 19.
The first-ever “Love Is More Than a Valentine” Conference for Clergy Who Love Lake County is being offered free of charge to any pastor, and/or pastor’s spouse, who serves a church in Lake County.
What is “Love Is More Than a Valentine”? It is inspiration, education and collaboration among other things.
Ministers will have the opportunity to hear powerhouse speaker Ted Cunningham, who speaks with Gary Smalley at his national "I Promise" Conferences and with The National Institute for Marriage.
Cunningham writes and has worked with Smalley on projects such as “The DNA of Relationships, Your Relationship With God, Food and Love,” and the latest work by Smalley called I Promise, which is a partnership with Purpose Driven Ministries.
Cunningham has co-authored two books with Smalley, “From Anger to Intimacy” and “The Language of Sex.” All clergy at the conference will receive a free copy of “From Anger to Intimacy” and Cunningham will be available after the conference to sign books for those who wish it.
In addition to being inspired by Cunningham, participants also will have an opportunity to be inspired by one another as they hear what other churches in Lake County are doing in their ministries for the homeless, hungry and hurting; and how we can coordinate some of our efforts through referrals.
There will be a variety of free resources for pastors as well, including but not limited to marriage counseling materials, a copy of Cunningham's book and a catered lunch.
“Love Is More Than a Valentine” is sponsored by the Lake Ministerial Association, Innisfree Now and the Lake Family Resource Center. It is being offered free of charge – but only to those who pre-register by Feb. 11.
To get a registration packet please call United Christian Parish at 263-4788.

Nazarene Children’s Theater will feature the Veggie-spun Bible classic that tells the story of Abraham and Sarah and their wait for a promised child.
Featuring a lesson in patience, the DVD presentation showcases nationally syndicated radio host "Delilah" as the voice of Sarah.
“It is our honor to offer faith-based family entertainment to the children and parents of Clearlake and Lake County,” said Nazarene Pastor, Richard Bean. “The program is sponsored by our Children’s Movie Ministry which began in late November with the Lake County premiere of 'The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything.' Valuable lessons can be learned while we entertain.”
Once again festivities will include activities and prizes for the kids focused on the theme of the presentation.
In “Abe and the Amazing Promise,” Bob the Tomato tries to bring the Bible story of Abraham and Sarah and their wait for a promised son to life, but when spitting camels and a film crew of zany French peas get involved, everyone's patience is tested!
Will Bob pull everything together in time to teach a lesson? Whether they're waiting on a promise from God or cookies from mom, kids will learn that while being patient is never easy, the reward is always worth the wait!
Showtime is 6 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30, in the church sanctuary, 15917 Olympic Drive, at Highway 53, in Clearlake. Admission is free; children must be accompanied by an adult.
