365 YOUTH CONVENTION

Dear Indiana Pastors, Churches, and Friends of 365,

We have made the very difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Indiana State Youth Convention. The health and safety of all participants is a top priority as we plan these events. While we are so sad about this outcome, we have made this determination based on our concern for gathering a large group in the uncertain climate of this pandemic season. We understand this news will be disappointing to many, especially those in the Class of 2021. Please know that we care deeply about the lives of your students and your communities.

Although we cannot gather this year, we still want to come alongside you and encourage what you are doing in your ministry. We have contacted our friends at Orange who have put together a weekend retreat-in-a-box that includes everything you'll need to plan a retreat for your individual youth group. They are offering this opportunity to your group for the discounted rate with a special coupon code. Please contact csnyder@indianaministries.org for more information. We are aware that many church budgets are tight in this season. If that is the case for your congregation, but you would like to participate, please let us know you'd like to request scholarship funds from Indiana Ministries.

Mark your calendars for our next scheduled 365 convention at the Embassy Suites in Plainfield the weekend of November 19-21, 2021. We hope you will plan to join us as we are so excited to experience this new location together!
