March 30... Weekly Training Materials

Greetings once again on a cold winter day from Grand Blanc , Mi... yes, that is snow once again on the ground! The good news is that the calendar says spring is at the door.

PERSONAL NOTE: Let me right up front thank Rick for speaking yesterday and Brenda von Linsowe for solo/duet that she sang with Rick. Good job! We had several people come forward at the end for prayer of one sort or another. It was a good service. While I'm at it, thanks Curtis for the Sunday School quarterly fellowship. It went well (Curtis, I got a couple of the questions wrong).

HOT OFF THE PRESS: April 04, 2009 is our next Church Workday. In May I will begin a new Bible study series entitled: "HOW WE GOT THE BIBLE". I know that everyone will find this helpful as we do a little research on the subject. It will also include a section on Bibles and why there are differences, etc. Don't miss it! Don't forget to mark down the Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services. Maundy Thursday at 7 PM. will feature a view of Isaiah 53 along with songs and communion. The community Good Friday service will be held at the Holy Spirit Lutheran Church, 7234 Fenton Rd., Grand Blanc. The whole service will run from noon until about 3PM. Our church has a section from about 2:25 to about 2:45. I am planning on being there from 2PM. to about 3PM... or the end. I would encourage our people to make that a target time. It was designed so that people could come and go as they saw fit. Please join us for this.

EXTRA ITEMS TO CONSIDER: I have come across a couple of web sites to add to our list at the right. The first is: Laridian PocketBible Software... especially note their Bronze Edition. It has good tools and a reasonable price. This software can be run off of a memory stick in your USB port. That means you can take it with you from machine to machine... completely portable!

The second site is: Springside Marketing... your site for everything Southern Gospel. They have current groups and a vintage section. I enjoyed the vintage offerings!
