Our monthly men’s business meeting was last Sunday evening. Sadly, there were several of our men unable to be at this meeting but, we still got some things taken care of. One of the important things we discussed was the need of a planning and budget session for 2017. The new year is quickly approaching and we do need to get our plans in order for what we want to accomplish next year. The day and time for this meeting will be announced as soon as possible. Also, we want any and all ideas from all the members of this congregation to help us plan for next year. If any of you have any suggestions or ideas of what you would like to see this congregation do in our service to the Lord for next year please write it down and put it in the question box in the foyer. What we are talking about is if you have any ideas or suggestions concerning a Gospel Meeting, Vacation Bible School, door knocking, mailouts or any other means of outreach, let us know. If you feel that anything we are doing needs to be changed or even done away with please let the men know. Any and all ideas and suggestions will be considered in the upcoming planning session. Then, once we have our plans for next year that will enable the men to put together a budget to cover the plans. We definitely want to have all this in place before the New Year begins.
Also, during our Gospel Meeting one of our visitors was asking about our ability to record sermons and lessons. He was shown our recording equipment and that it was set up but never set to work. This man, John Lathrop, volunteered to come and try to get it working for us. The men approved this and he will be contacted to see when he can come and work on our recording system.
The men also approved contacting World Video Bible School and having their representative come and give us a presentation on the work being done and accomplished by WVBS. The men also approved ordering some new video lessons from them. They now have the “Pillars of Faith” series consisting of three topics: Truth Be Told (exposing the myth of evolution with scientific proofs): Behold! The Lamb Of God (exploring the historicity, deity and personality of Christ); and Is The Bible From God (exploring the inspiration and reliability of the Bible). They consist of six lessons each and we will use them in our Wednesday evening classes to give us a change once in a while and also great information on some very vital subjects.
In addition to all the above, the men also approved some vacation time for Pam and me. We are needing some time to get away and relax for awhile. The Lord willing, we will be gone Thursday, October 13th through Wednesday, October 19th. Frank is going to check with his son, Mark, to see if he can come and fill in for me on Sunday, Oct. 16th. If he can’t come, we will check with Roy Coffman to see if he can come.
Until next week, I love you all,
Dan
