    Presbyterian Mariners Slate Annual Family Conference 
 
    by Jerry L. Van Marter 
 
LOUISVILLE, Ky.-Activities and worship for families, a work project at a 
Presbytery camp and a mission trip for young people will all be part of 
Presbyterian Mariners' 61st annual family conference, July 18-22 at Buena 
Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa. 
 
    "Families of the Future" is the theme of the conference.  Leadership 
will be provided by the Rev. Bill and Melinda Christian.  Bill is interim 
pastor of Northminster Presbyterian Church in Hickory, N.C.  Melinda is 
director of children and family ministries for the Moravian Church. They

pre-conference participants will work on projects at the Presbyterian camp
