Everyman Conference starts tonight!

I did not intend to be away from the blog for this long, but some things have kept my focus elsewhere for a time. One was the Promise Keepers Conference three weeks ago in Columbia, another was numerous Revivals throughout August, and finally helping with the Everyman Conference which starts tonight at Dogwood Church in south Tyrone.

On the outside chances that even one of you might read this and still be able to attend the conference tonight and tomorrow, walk up registration is available and starts at 6:00 PM. The Conference itself will start tonight at 7:00 PM (and tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM.) For details and directions, go to http://www.dogwoodchurch.org/. Maybe I'll see some of you there. I'll be at the Promise Keepers booth!

Keep checking the FAITH and/or HAPPENINGS pages at http://www.fayetefrontpage.org/ and this blog for future events.

Columbia Promise Keeper Conference follow-up

This past Friday and Saturday's (August 3 & 4) Promise Keepers Conference in Columbia, South Carolina was great!

Over 200 men accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior!

Over 100 men rededicated themselves to the Lord.

Many thanks to my good friend from PTC UMC, Bruce Conard, for driving to and form the event!

Time for Revival?

August is the month when many African-American Churches hold Revivals. These are excellent opportunities to receive a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit and a fresh word from God. Additionally, they are great occasions for developing relationships with more of our brothers and sisters in Christ. If you've read my previous blog on the subject then you know that in the Fayette area we are calling this unity effort "Building Biblical Bridges of Brotherhood." Typically, these events are attended by members from a number of churches so you can meet people from those churches at the same time.

Here's a schedule of the events for which I have information:

Wed.-Fri., August 8-10: Revival at Mount Olive Baptist Church; 7:00 PM, nightly.

Wed.-Fri., August 8-10: Revival at Hartford United Methodist Church; 7:30 PM, nightly.

Thursday, August 9: Revival at Flat Rock A M E Church; 7:00 PM

Sunday, August 12: 153rd Anniversary at Flat Rock A M E Church; 2:30 PM

Wed.-Fri, August 22-24, Revival at Bethlehem Baptist Church; 7:00 PM, nightly.

Mon.-Wed., August 27-29, Revival at Holly Grove A M E Church; on Robinson Road in Peachtree City at 7:00 PM, nightly.

Mon.-Wed., August 27-29, Revival at Merrill Chapel United Methodist Church on S. Jeff Davis Drive in Fayetteville, at 7:30 pm each night.

Please see the "Faith" and/or "Happenings" Tab at http://www.fayettefrontpage.com/ for details.

I urge you, brothers, to take advantage of as many these opportunities as possible to build unity in the local body of Christ! You will make a powerful statement for unity just by showing up, and who among us couldn't use some reviving?
