August 25, 2014...Training Material

Greetings on this end of August Monday morning.     

PERSONAL NOTE: I want to thank everyone who was involved in planning, preparation for the Sunday worship service. Thank you, Brenda von Linsowe for the special music you shared. I also want to thank The Rob Mills Family for the great concert they presented at 4 pm. Sunday. I always enjoy having them come and share their music with us. The concert was well attended and we received a nice love offering for them. 

Please remember that at 2 pm. today I will be on "Ask The Pastor". Pray for me and the rest of the panel. Please also note the addition of a new link in the "Bonus Training Links" area to the left. It is the first one entitled: Handling Addiction - What can You Do? Please check it out and make it available to those who need it...or post it somewhere on Facebook (if you use it).
