News about the body

I am not talking about your personal health. By the way, ours is poor (all three girls sick with a feverish, coughing, snotty thing). I am talking about the body of believers at Shiloh Baptist Church. Summers at Shiloh are always interesting since we have a lot of families and families vacate a lot in the summer. Seriously, some of you guys have had three or four already. They are also interesting here as we approach August because we start thinking about the new church year. I just wanted to let you know some things to be praying about and excited about in the months ahead.
1. The new building should start either today or Wednesday. I know finally. This is the initial stage that will just include the erection of the building. A good start with much work left to do. I am pumped.
2. The nominating committee is hard at work casting a vision for the new year. Please pray for them and pray for laborers.
3. As we begin the new church year in September we will engage in a new evangelism initiative called Proclaim. During proclaim we will strive for church wide involvement in evangelism. We will also provide training in sharing your faith on Sunday evenings during the worship hour.
4. New discipleship training opportunities. This will include a book study, systematic theology class, and intensive scripture memory for children. Please see this as an opportunity to grow in your faith and come out at 6pm on Sunday evenings.
5. Christmas store, missions opportunities, and much much more.

Please be praying, be willing, and be excited about the opportunities God will present us this fall. Believe it or not, Lane Kiffin is not the most exciting thing to hit this town, the unstoppable Gospel is.
