As the autumnal march of church conferences continues, this was a big week with Cultivate and Story in the Chicago area. Both conferences had different approaches–Cultivate was no frills, community-based and interaction-driven while Story was big production, personality-based and experience-driven. But both events focused on communication and had loads of stellar ideas for your church.
There are plenty of good note-takers out there, so here are a few folks you can learn from:
- Tim Schraeder shares lots of notes from both events. He’s a note-taker extraordinaire.
