Attending the New York Summer Conference at TCNJ, the College of New Jersey

The NYSC held at the College of New Jersey

Beautiful buildings on the campus of TCNJ

My girl friend has been attending the NYSC for the past decade. Each time she came back from it, she is always full of enthusiasm, on fire for God and keeps encouraging us to register for the conference the following year.

The 2019 New York Summer Conference was held at TCNJ 

We had politely declined her invitation for years. But this year, we decided to go and personally experience what she has been talking about.

Brower Student Centre, TCNJ

We were not disappointed at all!

The venue of the NYSC was at The College of New Jersey – TCNJ.

















TCNY is a campus of over 200 acres with mature trees and beautiful buildings.














I liked the buildings with modern design as well as those with classical Greek columns.

Students are accommodated in these townhouses. 

We were assigned to stay in a 3 level town house and slept on the bottom floor.

The conference schedule was full with two keynote speakers back to back in the morning.

Conference organizers and TCNJ were considerate of the needs of the attendees. There were golf carts available taking less mobile people to the various locations on campus.

  We enjoyed our hour long lunch break each day and met some friends from Canada and New York,

There was a vegetarian option from which to choose for lunch and dinner.

There was about an hour for break in the afternoon, followed by an afternoon workshop of our choice, then dinner and evening keynote speaker again.

There were over 1000 people attending this annual conference with meetings and venues arranged for various aged groups.

I was glad that my girl friend kept encouraging me to attend this conference which has been happening for the past 49 years. This was their 50th year!

One of our two inspiring keynote speakers

Everyone enjoyed our two keynote speakers who were humble, knowledgeable men of God, well prepared for their messages and delivered them with sensitivity and humor.  

I was touched by the speakers deeply from day 1. When one of the speaker said that we could always serve God no matter where we were and how old we were. He cited many examples and inspiring real life stories when Christians in their last stage of their lives,  were still dedicated and served God.





 My eyes were filled  with tears.  God once again reminded me that my  husband and I are retirees who are enjoying the fruits of hard work of many years. 


We are moving towards the last stage of our lives and we need to fill our lives with meaningful things to do.

We enjoyed the beautiful architecture at TCNJ

We thank God for this great Christian conference where  we experienced the joy of corporate singing and praise, worship and fellowship.














 It was uplifting and inspiring!  It also confirms the new ministry of what we will be starting in September!
