TEXAS PARTNERS IN MISSION SUNDAY...September 20 or ???

I hope all pastors have now received and opened the large envelope sent 
last week and that you will post or frame the missionary mosaic 
picture.  Your prayers for these fine people will be a blessing.  Your 
partnership is appreciated.  September 20 is designated as Texas 
Partners in Mission Sunday in the Texas District, but you may wish to 
celebrate this ministry during another worship service.  If you would 
like for me to come and make a short presentation during worship and 
lead a Bible study, let me know.

A Special one day event in Area D

Saturday, September 26. The featured speaker is Will Mancini, author of 
Church Unique.  He will share some very practical ideas on just how we 
can be uniquely missional.  In addition you will hear about being 
culturally missional (reaching across all the various cultural lines). 
There is no charge for this event...that includes speakers, material, 
breaks/refreshments, and the noon lunch.

Each person attending will need to register so that we do have an idea 
on the number attending.

Details for the event and registration information are located at the 
following website:
