A quick and easy to use Bible program on line is Blueletterbible.org . It has several translations some classic commentaries and Bible dictionaries—and it is free. Check it out.
One More Time: If you have not planned a stewardship emphasis for this fall—it is not too late. It’s Biblical and it works. If you need materials or help contact me or the State Office.
Budget Time: Why not consider increasing your church’s contribution to the Cooperative Program of our State Convention in this year’s budget? Did you know that Pa/SJ had the best baptism rate in the SBC this past year? It took 12 Pa/SJ Baptists to win one soul to Jesus last year; it took over 40 SBC wide.
Thanksgiving is coming! What plans have you made to celebrate this distinctively American religious holiday? It is a good time for outreach and it could have a positive effect on your church’s giving pattern.
Here’s Help: If you are in the central and western parts of PA, you can get volunteers and other help through the Appalachian Regional Ministry. They will help in many useful and creative ways, e.g. building, add-ons, renovations, block parties, revivals, training, even repairing homes of senior citizens—(and I have only listed the most traditional). Contact your DOM or Gail Hallman at the State Office or Bill Barker, National Director, 606-316-4298, bbarker@arministry.org
Have you checked out www.woot.com ? Promotes one item each day until it is sold out usually at a very favorable price; mostly electronics.
Applebee’s America is a secular book written jointly by Republican and Democratic political strategists. What is interesting is that it contains a large section on mega churches and how they are developed. They discuss Warren and Hybil’s strategies as well as many others. It gives a good insight into the world we are all working in .
Free pastor’s Retreat: Five days in Ohio, Wisconsin, or Texas FREE, no agenda, high quality facilities. Contact Pastors Retreat Network, 866-703-9544 or info@Pastorsretreatnetwork.org ; or contact your DOM; must be full-time.
