The theme for the meeting will be "Let your Christian pharmacists light shine!" (“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. " Matt. 5:14-16) The full program and and registration are available here.
The CPFI 2009 Annual Meeting, was in West Palm Beach, FL on the campus of Palm Beach Atlantic University at the Lloyd L. Gregory School of Pharmacy. The theme for the meeting was "Living In Anticipation of His Coming" - (“Be dressed and ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like men waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him.” Luke 12:35-36).
