July 26, 2010... Training Materials

Greetings to you all on this very nice summer morning.

PERSONAL NOTE: I don't know about you, but I enjoyed yesterday's Sunday worship service. Two things were special: first the scramble song selections, and second, the duet by Rich Brotemarkle and Alan Aron. Great job guys! I believe that everyone was blessed by the selection.

I want to encourage you now to prepare for the last in our summer concert series on August 29, 2010 at 4 pm. We will feature Heaven's Call. They are a mixed group from Palos Heights, IL.

Plan now to decide who you will invite to this concert. Take your guests out for some ice cream after the concert (or something similar). This is a great opportunity for our Church family to do very simple outreach. Take advantage of the concert.

Event Notice: On September 18 and 19 we will have something very special in the area. I have been in contact with Mayfair Bible Church concerning a "Virtual Tour of the Holy Land" that they will be sponsoring. We will have the opportunity to get in on this activity if we choose. I personally will be involved.

If you have ever wanted to go to Israel, but never had the time or money, this is going to be a great event. I am waiting for more information, but it will be a Saturday afternoon/evening and part 3 on Sunday at 3 pm. It will cover such things as geography, locations, events, culture, etc. The event will be led by Mr. Raouf Karborani, a native of the Middle East and an Israeli Ministry of Tourism certified guide.

Mark these dates down now. I will have more to share in the days ahead. This could be the next best thing to a trip there. WOW!

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In First Timothy chapter 4 and verse 12, God's will is expressed for Timothy specifically and us by extension, that we are to be examples to other believers. To Timothy, it says be an example in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. This should be true for all of us... especially our leaders. Remember... this is the will of God for you.
