Dear Bonclarken Music Conference Contact, ARP Pastor, ARP Music Director, or anyone receiving this email interested in the 2025 Bonclarken Music
This email is for your information so that you can access the 2025 Bonclarken Music Conference Information, Registration Materials and anything you’d like to know about the conference for this summer. (The booklet is attached also and we suggest for you to print a copy for yourself if you need one because we will NOT be mailing a copy of this booklet this year so that we can further be better stewards of our budgeted items.)
Please make sure that this information gets directly into the hands of the Contact Person for your church who handles the Bonclarken Music Conference Registrations if that is not you. We are looking forward to the conference this summer.
Please make sure to read EVERYTHING in this email and access the Registration Booklet to read and learn about the conference this summer.
