This is Labor Day Weekend but ministry continues at the Church of God of Landisville. First off tonight is 5th Quarter, our joint student ministry outreach with Hempfield United Methodist after Hempfield High School home games. Last week’s “trial run” was a huge success and we expect more kids this week. Fervency, our house band for BURN will be performing.
Pastor Barry will again be in the pulpit (Dr Steve is on vacation through September 6th). We are always blessed by his biblical insights and know that this week will be no exception.
Speaking of Dr. Steve, he will be leading two workshops this month on the use of social networking tools in ministry. Saturday, September 10, 2011 he will be teaching a class in Harrisburg for the School of Evangelism called “The Spiritual Discipline of Blogging”. This will focus on how to establish a blog and then use it in conversation and equipping for evangelistic purposes. The class meets from 8:30-1:00 pm on the 10th. Cost is $15. You are welcome to attend, just call Patty in the office. On September 13, he will be teaching along with Pastor Harry Jarrett from Neffsville Mennonite. “Building Relationships in a Digital World” is the topic. Read more at Parish Resource Center
