    LADS Academy

    Our first few LADS Academies have been tremendous successes.  We have had hundreds of people from several states to attend.  We would especially like to thank our instructors for giving of their time to help others.  We will be planning LADS Academies in different regions in the future.  The next LADS Academy is planned for Saturday, November 3, 2007 in Florence, AL at Heritage Christian University.  Click on the links below to view flyers with details about the upcoming LADS Academy or to view pictures from the first LADS Academy. If you would like to attend the next academy, please let us know by emailing us at least one week prior to the Academy at margaret@lads-to-leaders.org.

    The Leader Ledger

    Moving Forward
    Built on a rich tradition, Lads to Leaders/Leaderettes continues to move forward. For 38 years, churches have used the Lads concept to train their youth and strengthen their congregations. In order to serve you better, we have developed new materials, new events, new training opportunities and are about to move into a new home.

    New Materials
    Pearls:     “Hold Fast to That Which Is Good”, a 13-lesson topical study of First and Second Thessalonians, First and Second Timothy and Titus features outstanding authors writing on timely subjects. Rules book ~ We have updated the rules book which is downloadable at no cost from our website.

    New Event
    Know the Books:     This new event is designed to ecnourage students and adults of all ages to learn the books of the Bible. For students in 7th grade through adults, it is a little more challenging. They learn the books and their themes. More details are available in the rules book.

    New Training
    LADS: Lads Academy for Developing our Skills is adult leader training to sharpen your skills in specific areas. The first Academy was held in July, 2007 at Freed-Hardeman with over 100 in attendance. This free training will be coming to an area near you in the future - details above!

    Rules Book Changes
    The Official Convention Rules Book has been updated for the 2007 convention. It is a free download on the Rules Book page of our website. Along with the rules book, there is a list of the events that have changed so that you can print only the sections that you need. We expect to make updates to the rules book each year as enhancements are made to the program.

    New Materials Now Available
    Don’t forget to order your materials for convention preparation. The Bible Bowl study questions for 1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus are ready to be ordered and delivered by email or CD. There are a few hundred questions covering all chapters. The study guide for the Pearls test,     Hold Fast to That Which Is Good, is a 13-chapter study guide that is designed for classroom use over a quarter, but can also be used for individual study. This study guide will also be a good supplement for Bible Bowl students. Contact the National Service Center for more information or to order your materials!

    2008 Convention Registration!
    Registration for the 2008 convention will open in early November, and registration packets will be mailed to team leaders in late October or early November. The registration information (hotel costs, deadlines, addresses for pre-convention events, etc.) is now available only on our website. There is a section for each convention location with all details, plus a preliminary schedule.
