THE PREACHING TODAY is the second message in a series based on the book of Philippians. The book includes many references to important qualities--joy and thanksgiving. In chapter 2 we read, "Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me." (Phillippians 2:18) 


THIS WEEK, many from our church will travel to Big Rapids, Michigan to participate in the Ferris State evangelism project. Please note the following: 

*The event will begin on Friday morning, August 28 with a half day of training at our church building.

* Our group will then travel to Big Rapids where we will stay at the Cranhill Christian Campground. We will stay in three seperate lodges there.

* Each day we will reach out to incoming Ferris State students, sharing the gospel and inviting them to connect with the local Christians. 

* The group will return on Wednesday, September 2. After our return, those who participated in the evangelism project will be active throughout the year in college outreach in our area.
