On Tuesday evening, Ray Pratt kicked off a discussion class on 1 Corinthians. This is a drop-in class, no registration required, and is intended to support our own members as much as anything else. We did have one student drop in, who seemed to enjoy the study, and at the very end we were joined by another.
On Wednesday evening, Paul Zilmer gave the second class in his "How to Study the Bible" series. It was again well attended, with eleven students. (Three from the first week didn't return, but two new students joined. Good news — two of the three who didn't return want to make up the material & want to finish out the class.)
Thursday evening, Norm Fadelle began his "God's Promises" class, which was canceled last week. We had two very interested students, and would have had a third but that one called to say she couldn't make it.
We also have our first student who is actively working on the God's Master Plan self-study course. Several others have registered, but only this one has so far returned the initial lessons.
We praise God for His work, and we pray that He will grant increase to our planting and watering in the community!
Other developments:
- We finally have gotten a company to do the digitizing of the BEC logo (after a couple of disappointments), and Susan Lange from Bloomington has now begun embroidering shirts for us. (Thank you Susie!)
- An advertising campaign for the rest of the year has been drafted and is under review by the ecclesia.
- At last, the outdoor sign promised by the management of Lincoln Square Mall is in place. Pictures below show the approach from the north. Placement of our sign (at the bottom) is actually excellent. The other side of the pylon is the same.
