Our collection for the month of September is for Hospital Lumiere and Haiti Support.
This is a reminder to encourage ministers, Sunday School teachers, and spouses to consider attending the Apologetics Conference on Saturday, October 9 in Gridley, IL. Registration is required by today, Sunday, September 26.
This conference is the second annual offering by the Apologetics Committee of the Elders Teaching Resource, which exists to raise awareness of what apologetics is, why it matters, and provide entryways into major apologetic questions for Apostolic Christian ministers and Sunday School teachers. This year’s theme is "Reliability of the Scriptures.” Topics include:
• Is the Bible the Word of God?
• How Did We Get the Bible?
• Modern Challenges to the Bible’s Authority (5 challenges will be addressed)
• How to Preach/Teach on Controversial Topics
• A Call to Love the Word
For additional context, listen to the September 10th “Around the Table” podcast. Please click here to register by September 26. More information is available on the Elder Teaching Resource website, including videos from last year’s conference.
Young group girls Bible study will be this Tuesday, September 28 at 7:00 in the Gathering Room. We will be studying patience and have a guest speaker coming with encouragement for us. Feel free to invite a friend!
The young group guys Bible study will be at the same time at Bro. Jedd and Sis. Marsha Rocke’s home.
This Wednesday in place of regular services we plan to have Bro. Fred Witzig from our Washington congregation talk to us about The Way Jesus approached life... The way of Peace. This will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall main assembly room. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.
The 2021 General Conference talks focused on verses from 2 Peter 1. Over the next few weeks, we will touch on each of the 8 talks after our afternoon service. Please carve out around 20 to 25 minutes the following week to listen to the corresponding talk. They are very encouraging talks about faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, kindliness, and charity.
