February 9... Weekly Training Materials

Greetings to you on a much improved weather day in Michigan!

PERSONAL NOTE: I was reviewing Sunday with our Youth and Music minister and we both concluded that it was a "powerful" day! Thanks Bud, for the great solo. Thanks Curtis, for the well run and informative teacher's session at noon... it was very helpful.

I thought that you might like to know that we had a nice turnout for our 4 PM. concert with the Royalheirs. We had 104 in attendance and we provided the quartet with a very nice love offering. I enjoyed the concert and felt that the songs and the testimonies were just what we needed to hear. Good job Royalheirs!

This last Friday, at 2 PM., I was on the panel of ASK THE PASTOR on WAQP in Saginaw. I felt the program was very good with calls from all over the country. Most of our time was spent answering people concerning Bible verse questions. Some were complicated and some were easy... but all were answered.
