Andy Doan DEACON: Rev. Joe Plummer April 29, They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 Men of Galilee, they said, why do you stand here looking into the sky?

2 Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, Occasionally someone will express a desire to go deeper into the things of God than what we are able to offer here at the church through Christian Ed. classes or small group offerings. It s very nice to have something available for those desires. I m pleased to be able to recommend to everyone some deeper theological education that is available to all through the Anglican School of Ministry (ASM), based in Little Rock, Arkansas. ASM offers education by extension, so you don t have to go to Little Rock to participate in courses. Information may be found online at or you may questions and inquiries to info@anglicanschoolofministry.org. Their phone number is ASM offers two main tracks. The first is their Foundations Courses, which is perfect for any who have a desire to grow in their knowledge of the Bible and theology, becoming better Sunday school teachers, Bible study leaders, or simply better informed Christians. For this coming summer they are offering two courses, one on worship and one on Anglicanism. The second track is graduate level coursesm and these are designed for those seeking higher levels of leadership (even ordination), and completion leads to Certificates or Diplomas. ASM has six courses this summer. Registration for summer courses is open until May 6 (classes start May 15), so if you are even the least bit interested, please visit shoot them an , or give them a call. If the short notice makes it impossible for those who are interested to be able to participate, ask them to put you on their mailing list for future course offering information. May God bless you, and may God be glorified in our efforts to become better disciples of Jesus. Yours in Christ, Fr. Andy + The Rocket 105 Page 2 of 8
