Providential News ourselves, that we can accomplish great things.
. Quote for the This Sunday, I shared some points related to Family Pledge number 6 (the video link is below). In conclusion I introduced the new website “familyfedny.org” which was Week created (special thanks to Sandy Stewart for his time and effort to make it happen) for the purpose of exposing as many people as possible to the DP. The greatest . Announcements Blessing we can share with our community is God’s love and God’s amazing truth – to let people know our purpose and the value of our existence, the reality of our fallen state, and the path that will lead us back to God’s love.
If you have ideas as to how the website can be improved please let me know. Soon we will make it possible for guests to sign up for a newsletter or for more information.
Finally, the website outreach will not be successful if we don’t create an environment that can nourish and raise up our guests. This is why small groups are so important. In that regard, the Small Group Seminar/Retreat which is planned for Saturday June 1, will not take place at Camp Sunrise as originally planned. Because of damage from storms – the camp opening has been delayed. Therefore – the Small Group Seminar will be held at Belvedere (Same day – Saturday June 1) but it will focus more on education. The fee, if you pay by May 29 is $20. After that it will be $25. I hope to see you there. We will have some great presentations by Dr Tyler Hendricks and Maio Biacco. Time: 9:00 am to 3:30 pm.
God Bless You! And let’s make it a great month of May!
