SBC Fuge is planned by the Centrifuge and M-Fuge staff of LifeWay Christian Resources for students who have completed the 7th through 12th grades. According to the website, the Fuge sessions will include worship, seminars and recreation, with a goal of encouraging, challenging and equipping "the next generation of leaders in the Southern Baptist Convention."
The theme for the 2011 SBC Fuge, "Connect," will focus on developing godly relationships, according to the site. This year's theme verse is Matthew 22:37-39, which says, " said to him, 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important commandment. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
The event's pastor will be Jeff Pratt, director of student ministry training and events for LifeWay. Plans for the worship leader have not yet been announced.
To register for the Monday through Wednesday sessions, call toll-free 1-800-254-2022 or visit www.lifeway.com/event/?id=386. Fuge and other student and children's programs at the SBC will be held in the Phoenix Convention Center.
