Left Hand Page #2 - Summer Preparation (from bulletin dated 6-23-96)
"We believe summer is a time of preparation. God seems to set in motion a number of things that prepare us for ministry in the days ahead. We are praying for an outpouring of His Spirit upon our world, and I thought it good to provide us with a list of things to pray about: (1) Pray for souls to be won to Christ.
