Schedule
COME and SEE! Our theme not only encourages you to come join in the fun, but to seek new opportunities, and live life to the fullest. To help, we’re providing a list of activities below. We think you’ll find a nice mix of fun, flirting and spirituality. Dress code at most events is casual, church-standard attire.

9:00am – 12 Noon: Morning Work Shops & Service
Start your Saturday off right with two back-to-back workshops and service that will inspire, challenge, encourage, and uplift you.
Workshop A “Understanding Venus & Mars.. on Workshop Earth” 9:00-9:40, 9:50-10:30
Doctrine & Covenants 88:40 articulates that “Intelligence cleaveth unto intelligence;…virtue loveth virtue;…light cleaveth unto light.” They say men are from Mars and women are from Venus, but since we all live on Earth, this workshop is your chance to learn tips and tricks for attracting “like for like” as we navigate those gender-crossing differences.
Workshop B 9:00-9:40, 9:50-10:30
“Fulfilling Your Life’s Potential”
Come, see and live your potential. Join a professional life coach as he shares proven techniques for setting and achieving goals, overcoming self doubt and other obstacles, and learning to find fulfillment and joy in day to day victories.
Workshop C 9:00-9:40, 9:50-10:30
“Becoming the light of Life”
John 8:16, Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world, he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life”
Workshop Keynote: “Living Today for Today, and Tomorrow” 10:40-11:40 in the Chapel
In the coming days ahead, a casual commitment to Jesus Christ will not carry us through. ‘Come and See’ how the decisions we make today with a hope in and a commitment to Jesus Christ will determine our tomorrows.
12:00 pm Lunch – Taco Carts. Enjoy all you can eat authentic Mexican street tacos
Eat lunch, socialize then head to the beach where we’ll be spending the rest of the afternoon.
1:00pm – 4:30 pm Beach Activities [ Map ]
Beach Activities will be held at Beach Blvd and PCH in Huntington Beach. Parking costs at city and state beaches are $15, so it is recommended that you carpool.
COMPLIMENTARY ACTIVITIES: Volleyball, Frisbee, tug of war, limbo contest, sand castle building, flag football, 1-minute relay-races and music. Please spread out on the beach at the various appointed life-guard stations and try different activities to meet new people. This is the point, right?
SURFING: If you want to learn to surf, send an e-mail to saltwatersamc@gmail.com. There will be a fee for board and wetsuit rental. Sam needs to know in advance how many surfers to expect so that he can have enough boards, wetsuits, and instructors. He will also need the height and weight of the surfers so he knows what sizes in wetsuits and boards he will need to provide. You must know how to swim to sign up for surf lessons. There will be two sessions for surf lessons. The first is 1:30pm to 3:00pm and the second is 3:30pm to 5:00pm. We can only accommodate 20 surfers per session so it’s first come first serve. You must sign up for surf lessons in advance, prior to the first day of the conference. The surf instruction location will be announced at registration but is typically north of the Huntington Beach Pier.
VOLLEYBALL: If you want to play volleyball, you’re in luck. This year we’ll have 6 courts available and will be arranging teams at the site based on desired level of play and balance of men/women. For those who are “serious about their VB”, we’ll have a “pro” court with referee (we’re gonna call those net touches!) and for those who desire a slightly more “relaxed” game, we’ll have the other courts. Any questions, email affecteffect20@yahoo.com
Additional cost: Surfboard, boogie board, bike and in-line skate rentals are available for rent at various beach concessions.
