Associational News
We have surpassed $11,000! As of Monday June 29, $11,537.50 has been received toward the 2009 offering for associational missions. One more church has joined the list, bringing the total to twenty-one that have contributed so far. The offering goal is $18,000. Most of that amount will go toward the purchase of a large tent to use in starting churches. When not in use for a church start, the tent will be available for churches to use for evangelistic and outreach events. A trailer for transporting the tent will also be purchased. Any money left over from these purchases will go to support church starts by HPBA churches.
Books for fall semester Seminary Extension are in. The two courses offered are Old Testament Survey Part 2 ($165 total cost including books) and Evangelism ($147 total cost). Old Testament Survey uses the same books as Part 1 so students who recently completed that course will not need to purchase new books. Students are encouraged to register no later than August 11 so that they can be prepared for the first class August 18.
The 60 X 30 metal building being built to house the various ministry trailers of the association is finished! Well, almost. There is still some electrical work to be done. Come by to see it when you can. Many thanks to those who have been leading the effort. The team overseeing the building consists of Charlie Holcomb, Jim Long, and Larry White. Dwaine Higgins did the dirt work for the pad and built an access drive which also serves as the driveway for the Harmony House and gives larger vehicles access to the back parking area.
