Bible School break

(posted by Paul Zilmer)

Last week most of our members were at the Great Lakes Bible School (or in one family's case, on the way back home from a Bible School in Montana). The BEC was closed, and we let all of our students know we'd be closed for a week.

The shop reopened yesterday, and we had our usual Sunday service today. It was the first Sunday for our new brother. After our worship and remembering the Lord together, we had our adult Bible study, lunch (as we always do), then a class with our new brother and his wife, who continues to study for baptism. We were joined today by another of our long-term students, for the first time on a Sunday – and she told us she wants to study for baptism too!

At the Bible School, we made a pitch asking for volunteers to come and help us out. We have plenty of work to do!!  We have an immediate need for volunteers the last week of July & first week of Aug, to help us publicize our upcoming fall schedule of classes. Beyond that, we are hoping that some volunteers will come to help us for as long as they are able, anything from a week or two, up to several months. How about you?

As we stand at the brink of starting our second year, we look back at how much our God has done in this community, and within ourselves. What a loving God!  What a glorious message of hope He has given! As our Lord said, the fields are ripe. Can you help us, or rather help him, with the harvest?
