What we have planned is that after the church service we will eat a simple sack lunch (bring your own). Then around 1:00 or 1:30 we will meet in the sanctuary and talk briefly about how we will do our outreach program over the summer in preparation for our prophecy seminar meetings starting September 5. You may wish to bring along some comfortable clothes and walking shoes to change into. This Sabbath, we are thankful, will be very pleasant and mild outside. Our outreach work should probably be done by 3:00 or 3:30 p.m. leaving much of the rest of the Sabbath afternoon for other activities. I want to encourage you and your whole family to participate in this activity of sharing the Gospel with our neighbors. Children, by the way, are especially welcome. They are good evangelists and break down any fears people have about people knocking on their doors. Looking forward to seeing you on Sabbath.
