Letter From the CEA President

Grace and peace to each of you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

While it has been nearly 6 months since our last convention, your CEA Board has been hard at work preparing for the next one, October 22 and 23, 2009.  Part of our preparation is to look back at the comments made about 2008 and act on them.   Thank you to the many who did in fact share good ideas, helpful observations and encouragement about CEA 2008.

2007 Spring Newsletter

Letter From the CEA President

Homecoming! After two years away with regional conventions and MANS, we are “coming home” this year to South Bend. We have been planning a great mix of old and new as you will see by this newsletter. We expect it will be a great convention!

Over the past year your CEA leadership group has examined the unique role of CEA in helping to advance Christian education. At our convention we have a special opportunity to join together to learn, to worship, and to encourage each other. As a leadership group we have pondered the question: How could our convention help to focus our efforts on what makes our schools distinctively Christian? How could we, as a group of educators unified through Christ, better help our schools meet their missions and share our ideas/learning together? We recognize that we must both equip our minds and encourage our hearts so that we can better teach our students and meet the missions of our schools.

2006 FALL NEWSLETTER

We as members of the Christian Educators Association are anxiously looking forward to attending the Michigan
Association of Non-Public Schools (MANS) Partners in Christ Called to Serve Convention to be held October 19 and 20
in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan.

All program details are being taken care of by the MANS office. Check out their website for the program information
including keynote and featured speakers, sectional speakers, and times. All details can be found at http://www.m-a-n-
s.org/events/2006Convention.php. The MANS home page is www.m-a-n-s.org.

Your school’s CEA Delegate and/or your administrator will take care of collecting your CEA dues in the next few weeks
which will also register you as an attendee at the MANS Convention. Your delegate will send me a list of teachers who
will be attending the MANS Convention. Make sure you are included in your school’s list. IF YOU ARE NOT
REGISTERED BEFORE THE MANS CONVENTION, BE PREPARED TO PAY A MUCH HIGHER REGISTRATION FEE
UPON ARRIVAL. MANS WILL CHARGE $115.00 TO REGISTER ON-SITE.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS TO EACH REGISTRANT
• Name badges will be sent to your school shortly before the MANS Convention and after we have received your dues.
