Super Saturday!
Saturday, October 2, 2010
Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School
147 Pond Street, Franklin, MA
A day for local church leaders
- lay and clergy - to network & learn
What’s it all about?
Join hundreds of delegates, pastors and lay leaders from all over the Conference for our first SUPER SATURDAY – a full day of workshops and networking around best practices for church leaders. The day will have something for everyone in your church - educators, mission committee members, clergy, deacons, treasurers and others - so we hope you’ll gather a team and make your way to Franklin! We know from experience that when teams receive leadership training together, church vitality is enhanced.
The Massachusetts Conference plans to hold Super Saturdays twice annually in various parts of the Conference as a supplement to the one-day Annual Meeting. This Super Saturday will revolve around the same theme that was introduced at the 211th Annual Meeting in June - “Provoke One Another… to Love and Good Deeds” (Hebrews 10:24-25).
The Conference staff and Annual Meeting Planning Committee feel so strongly that churches will benefit from taking part in both the Annual Meeting and Super Saturdays that we are offering a transferable Super Saturday discount to Annual Meeting delegates. The pricing will work as follows:
Annual Meeting Delegate rate: $29.00*
Regular rate (deadline: Sept. 20): $49.00
all prices include catered lunch and materials
* Please note that the Annual Meeting Delegate rate IS transferable. Annual Meeting delegates received coupons in their delegate packets good for the reduced rate, and they may give that coupon to someone else in their church if they wish.

Directions
Driving
The Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School at 147 Pond Street in Franklin is easily accessible from Route 495.
From the north, take Route 495 to Exit 17 (Route 140 Franklin). At the end of the exit ramp, turn left at the light onto Route 140 toward Franklin. Go straight through the second traffic light. At the third traffic light (in front of the shopping plaza), turn LEFT toward Pond Street. The school entrance will be directly in front of you.
From the south, take Route 495 to Exit 17 (Route 140 Franklin). Bear right off the exit ramp onto Route 140, and at the very next traffic light turn LEFT toward Pond Street. The school entrance will be directly in front of you.
Carpooling
We encourage people to carpool to this event, both to help the environment and to increase the opportunity for collaboration. If the car from your church is not full and you can offer a ride, or if you need a ride, please post that information on MAC’s LIST at www.macucc.org/macslist.
Public Transportation
Tri County High School is just a few minutes away from the Forge Park Station on the Franklin Commuter Rail Line. Currently, the 7:20 AM train out of South Station in Boston is scheduled to arrive in Franklin at 8:17 AM on the day of the event. Anyone who is interested in taking the train to the event should notify us on their registration form, and we will provide transportation between the train station and Tri-County High School. Please note, however, that the return train does not leave until 4:35 PM, so there will be some lag time after the event is over.
