Last Call for Registrations for Elevating Preaching Conference - Monday, September 23, 8:30am - Wait Chapel | If you plan on attending, you must register online TODAY.  We have a strong line-up of some of the best teachers of preaching in the country: Anna Carter Florence, Thomas G. Long, and Luke A. Powery.  Because of the strength of this conference line-up, there will be no regular class meetings from 9:00am to 4:00pm that day, so that each of you can participate in this conference. The conference is free for students (and includes lunch), but we need you to register so that we can have a lunch count and so that we can assign you to a small group for lunch.  The lunch hour will be a lunch and learn session in small groups with the guest preachers, providing a great opportunity for more informal conversations about preaching.
