Orange Roll Call!
Posted on 20. Apr, 2011 by Kenny.
Okay, I’m making my list. Who’s coming to Orange. If you read this blog and you’re coming to Orange, I want to at least shake your hand or hug your neck (ha! I never say “hug your neck”). So, do me a favor. Leave a comment if you’re coming to Orange. That way I’ll know you’re coming and I’ll be keeping an eye out for you. If your visit to Orange is a secret (not sure why it would be), leave me a message here.
Woo hoo! Can’t wait to see you in Atlanta!… Read the rest

Why should you come to Orange 2011? Reason #5
Posted on 05. Oct, 2010 by Kenny.
It might be your first opportunity to “thaw out.” Orange always takes place a the end of April in sunny Atlanta, GA. Usually the weather in ATL is beautiful! I always get a kick out of all the people sunning on the grass between sessions or breakouts, soaking up the warmth of their long-lost friend. I always assumed that the sun-bathers were the Yankees coming down to experience the South.
So, if you live in the North, Orange will warm your heart while the souther sun warms your body!

After my Kidmin/Orange marathon, this is how I feel
Posted on 02. May, 2010 by Kenny.
Every year I look forward to my week at Orange. Rather than just take in a few days of conference, I try to get the biggest bang for my buck. I get to Atlanta a few days early to see some family as well as visit North Point Church or some other church so I can observe and learn from what others are doing. Then the conference begins and I typically have every minute booked. In addition to attending the conference and breakouts, I’m meeting people having conversations and learning from others. Typically, every meal is booked and I’m rarely back to my hotel room before midnight.
I love it; however, I think I’m done with marathon conference tours for a while.… Read the rest

#Orange10 Meat Up @ the Varsity
Posted on 20. Apr, 2010 by Kenny.
What? Yes, I wrote that right, it’s a Meat Up! It’s not an official Orange event by any means. The official Tweet Up is on Wednesday night (April 28th) at 10:00 PM. This is just a little get together the night before.
Last year we held the first Tweet Up at the Varsity on Tuesday, the night before everything started. I can’t tell you how helpful it was to get to know some people, put names to faces and hang out a little before the business of Orange. That way when I saw people in the halls walking around, I already knew them. I also love the Varsity. Anytime I’m in Atlanta, I go at least one time. Their Onion Rings are incredible.… Read the rest

#Orange10 Tweet Up!
Posted on 19. Apr, 2010 by Kenny.
Hey fellow tweeps, the official Orange 10 Tweet Up just got scheduled.
Wednesday, April 28th at Chocolate Perks from 10-11:30 PM!
So, if you’re on twitter (if you’re not, create your account right now, send out a tweet and you’re good to go), plan to stop by. I know, it’s late… but when else would you expect a tweet up? Although you’ll have connected with tons of ministry friends in the Orange Leaders Lounge, take your networking skills to a whole new level by taking it off-site. I’m looking forward to meeting up with all of you on Wednesday night!
Soooooo, if you think you’re going to Tweet Up at Chocolate Perks, leave a comment!

Register for Orange TODAY!
Posted on 18. Mar, 2010 by Kenny.
If you haven’t registered for Orange yet and you’re heavily considering going, go ahead and register TODAY. Today is the last day for any price break. Register TODAY!
There are so many reasons why you should go to Orange, but I’m not going to list them in this blog post. Just search Orange in the search bar to the right and you’ll get your fill. If you fill stuck in a rut in your ministry or if you feel like you’re not making the difference you should be, Orange is for you. Sure, Orange has a ministry philosophy that’s helped thousands of churches, but just getting in the same room with big thinkers in ministry can help you see your situation from a different perspective.… Read the rest

I’m registered for Orange 2010
Posted on 13. Jan, 2010 by Kenny.
Yesterday I registered for the Orange Conference 2010! Due to a lot of reasons, I’m only taking a small group to this year’s conference, probably just my Children’s Pastors. Looks like I’m going to reprise my role in the lounge for bloggers, so I’m really excited about that. This will be by third year at Orange and I’m expecting great things. Just curious, who else is coming to Orange this year? Hoping to meet many more new ministry friends.
Mmmmm, thinking about the second annual Orange Tweetup… but this calls for something creative (gears actively turning). I’ll get back to you on this.… Read the rest

Spending the day at North Point and Buckhead
Posted on 25. Apr, 2009 by Kenny.
I’m very excited about tomorrow. Last year I took the opportunity to attend Buckhead Church and see ministry in action. This year I’m doubling the fun. I’ll be driving up to North Point for the morning. Josh and I will take the official North Point tour during the first service. Then we’re going to attend the second service. Later that evening I’ll be attending Buckhead Church. I really loved the environment, so I want to experience it again.
Last year I really wanted to experience a large video campus. However, Andy preached live from Buckhead. I’m not complaining, but I didn’t get to see what I wanted to see. Since I will be attending a service at two different campuses, I’ve got a feeling that I might just get to experience at least one service on video.… Read the rest

Official Orange Tweetup: Mark Your Calendar
Posted on 17. Feb, 2009 by Kenny.
Last week I announced the Orange Tweetup. Seems like most are going to be able to make it. I do really hate that there are some people who will still be traveling and may not be able to make it, but I think overall, Tuesday night is the best night for this endeavor. Wednesday night would be the second ideal night as it’s still early in the conference and a good opportunity to meet people we’re going to see in the hallways; however, the conference doesn’t let out until 10:30 PM and the Varsity closes at 11:30 PM. Lunch time? Fighting the conference traffic, there just isn’t enough time for a popper Tweetup.
So, make your plans now! Tuesday at 9:00 at The Varsity in downtown Atlanta.… Read the rest
