PASTOR’S
PROLOGUE
E
vangelism has been
described as simply “one
beggar telling another
beggar where to find bread.” It
is merely telling others the Good
News of God’s love in Jesus
Christ. Engage week is next
week where we are encouraging
as many people as possible to
engage others with the Gospel
of Christ.
Someone loved you enough to
share the Gospel with you. Now
let’s pass it on.
I look forward to seeing you
this Sunday in Bible study and
worship. Please invite a friend to
come with you.
ENGAGE WEEK • OCTOBER 20-25
Imagine our whole church engaging as many people as
possible with the Gospel of Christ for a whole week!
Engage Week is a time for your whole Sunday School
class to intentionally reach people for Christ!
Contact your Department Director or Teacher
to see how your class is getting involved.
Email joey.tombrella@birchman.org with any questions!
