Saturday Lunch 12 - 1:00pm

On Saturday, we invite you to have a BLT – Boxed Lunch Talk!  There’s nothing like talking over a sandwich or nibbling on a cookie.  The relaxed setting makes it easy to ask those questions you’ve wondered about for years!  Missionaries, international guests and conference leaders will be assigned to rooms all over the conference location. You pick up your lunch, select the person you want to meet, and before you know it, you’re friends!

The boxed lunches will have an assortment of sandwiches with deli meats and cheese, tuna or chicken salad, and vegetarian fillings, plus lettuce, tomatoes and your choice of condiments.  Depending on the caterer, you may have an assortment of breads such as croissants, buns or wraps.  Lunches may include small salads, slaws or pasta in some cities.  Plus there will be chips, cookies, fruit, and a bottle of water.


The weekend program fee includes the boxed lunch.

The part time attendee fee for Saturday also includes lunch.

If you have children under 5 and you want them to have a boxed lunch, please be sure to order them one.
