I want to remind all of the men that tomorrow night at Bethel (Wednesday, Sept. 1st) at 7pm Tim Shoemaker will be repeating his session on "God's man and sexual purity." This was a powerful night. I have to say what Tim had to say on the topic was so insightful. He does not just talk about the need for sexual purity in order to please God. He also has very specific and accurate stuff to say about the damaging effect that this has on men and their marriages. It is tremendous. Please join us. We will possibly have guests from other churches with us that night so even if you heard it you might want to come to be an encouragement to the other men.

Last Sunday night I recommended a Bible to our men to use for reading the Bible to their children. The name of the Bible is The Jesus Storybook Bible. The author is Sally lloyd Jones. I wrote that the author was Andrew Peterson. It is not.

Finally, remember that we do not have encounter this Sunday evening. We will be together for our all church picnic at the Methodist Campground in Des Plaines following our morning services. One morning service this week at 10 am. Your kids might want to wear or bring swimsuits because there will be a water slide.

In two weeks we being our new series going verse by verse through the book of 1 John. It should be good.

Talk to you soon,

rob
