We’re not sure how it happened, but Orange Conference 2015 is just 72 days away! Hopefully, you’re like us, and already counting down the days . . . and getting super excited!
Well, if you are, you’re going to love this week. If you’re not (yet), then this week will help you get there. It’s Orange Blogger Week! (Cue the confetti and streamers!) We’ve set aside this week to help you and your team prepare for the event, both mentally and logistically. And we’ve asked a few of our Orange Blogger friends to help. They are going to share their personal OC experiences with you, and we’re going to offer our best tips, tricks and helpful info. It’s going to be an amazing week that you won’t want to miss.
AND, if you need any other reasons to tune in, we’re offering FREE. DAILY. PRIZES. right here on the Orange Leaders blog—including one you definitely won’t want to miss! Additionally, a few of the other bloggers will also be giving away resources, and perhaps a ticket or two, so if you like good content, freebies and OC15, you’re in for a real treat.
TODAY’S GIVEAWAY: Speaking of a good week ahead, we’d like to help make all of your weeks a little better. So, today is your chance to win a year’s subscription to Weekly, a weekly strategy to help churches coach small group leaders and parents. Valued at $149, this tool throws your good intentions of consistent communication to your SGLs and parents out the window, and actually does 99 percent of the work for you. We send you the information, and you send it out. Doesn’t get any easier!
In order to win this prize, simply comment on this blog post, matching Facebook post, OC Instagram photo and/or via Twitter with hashtag #OC15 by 11:59 p.m. ET. We’ll draw one person in the morning and announce on Facebook. And if you already have an annual Weekly subscription, we’ll refund you.

“I really appreciate ALL the preparation that goes into this event. Usually it’s me doing the preparing, so it’s very refreshing to attend your conference. And the content ALWAYS makes me come home, reflect, and ‘chew’ on it all. Thank you for challenging leaders to address all the things we tend to ignore.” – an OC14 attendee
