The choir presents Watoto's vision and mission through their music and dance, which is an energetic fusion of contemporary gospel and traditional African rhythm. The children are among the 1.* million boys and girls in Uganda who have had the tragic experience of losing one or both of their parents to AIDS or war. Now these children are moving the hearts of people around the world as they share their stories of joy and hope. "Concert of Hope" is a colorful and lively demonstration of the life-changing love of God experienced by the children of Watoto.

In Africia, there are 60 million orphaned and vulnerable children. Watoto is a holistic program targeted towards meeting the essential needs of parentless children. A free will love offering will be received to help support the Watot Children's Ministry as they provide spiritual, physical, educational and emotional care for children.

“FILL MY CUP, LORD”

Edenton Street UMC

Raleigh, NC

Feb. 23 – 25 , 2010

Children’s Ministry Forum is an annual gathering of leaders in local church children’s ministry sponsored by the General Board of Discipleship and the Large Church Initiative. Children’s Ministry Forum began in 2001 at Cascade UMC in Atlanta, Georgia and has met in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Orlando, Florida; Houston, Texas; Birmingham, Alabama; and Dallas, Texas. Edenton Street United Methodist Church in downtown Raleigh will be host to the Forum event February 23-25, 2010.

The theme for Forum 2010 is “Fill My Cup, Lord.” The image of pottery will shape participants as they empty themselves to be filled by God’s love and grace, give themselves to God despite cracks and chips, and pour out God’s love to others. Forum will provide experiences of innovative workshops, soul-refreshing worship, networking opportunities, fellowship and sharing with others involved in various aspects of children’s ministries, a Cokesbury store and resource display area. Participants may register for the full event or one day options. Continuing education units are also available.

While Children’s Ministry Forum is co-sponsored by the Large Church Initiative and much of the content will be most applicable for medium to larger church settings (average worship attendance of 350 or more) – there will be great value, information, inspiration and application to ministry for churches of all sizes and all aspects or areas of children’s ministry. Several leaders in children’s ministry from the North Carolina Conference have attended this event in previous years and testify to the benefit of being part of this experience. This is a rare and wonderful opportunity for anyone involved in any aspect or any area of children’s ministry. Because this is the first national denominational event the North Carolina Conference has ever hosted, local participation is most important and highly sought after and deeply valued.

A schedule for the event, listing of workshops, registration and other information is available at the website: www.gbod.org/cmf. The regular registration deadline is January 31, 2010. A limited number of scholarships will be available from the Conference Children’s Ministry Team by application for those registering to attend the full event and with financial need.
