Hi, my name is Nicole Seiferth. I’m on the design team for the Young Adult Festival and look forward to welcoming all of you in Anaheim! This will be my third General Convention and I can say from experience that this gathering of the Church is always an amazing experience. You’re going to meet so many inspiring people — people who in turn will be inspired by you and your stories and ministries. I can promise you lots of fun, lots to think about, lots to take home with you, but probably not a lot of sleep (there’s just too much to do and see!). 

In addition to getting to know one another, we have a great opportunity at General Convention to make the wider Church aware of all the many things young adults are doing throughout the church. So don’t hesitate to strike up a conversation with someone standing next to you in the Exhibit Hall or go to that reception or gathering for a church ministry that you want to know more about and be involved in. They’ll be happy to see you. And, oh, as the editor of our daily YAF newsletter, be sure to take photos while you’re there, too, please!

Travel safe and see you in Anaheim.
