Hey Everyone!

 How's your summer going?

Couple items to share with you today:

1. Reminder of our Summer Picnic July 15 2017 Save the date on your calendar!

2. How are you doing with using the tools we picked up this winter? any stories to share?

3. Heard a great radio program this week on faith sharing. here is the link:

https://www.moodyradio.org/radioplayer.aspx…

Janet Parshall interviews Bill Fay, author of Share Jesus Without Fear.   When you follow the link choose "listen to the first hour."

IT IS NOT AN HOUR LONG!  ITS ONLY 43 MIN. WHEN YOU GET IT PULLED UP ON YOUR SCREEN, SLIDE THE LITTLE TIMELINE BALL TO THE 9 MIN MARK.. THAT CUTS IT DOWN TO 34 MINUTES AND IF THERE ARE ANY COMMERICAL BREAKS THAT COME UP, YOU CAN SLIDE RIGHT THROUGH THEM!

Listen closely to what he has to say about sharing your faith where you work - Great advice!!!!!

Write down the five questions he offers to start conversations about Jesus!

Feel free to share some comments after you have listened to the message!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to say thanks to all who participated in our winter series of retreats. Thanks to Carl Calhoun, Chuck Lemmon, Terry Douglass, and Dan Bishop for sharing their testimonies!

We didn’t keep attendance records per se, but I think collectively there were 17 guys who were able to make it to one or more of the retreats.

If any of you want to continue the project of “Sharing Your Faith” please contact me. It would be great to have more occasions where we could do the things that we did at the fourth retreat: just get together to share testimonies and create situational dialogue to hone our ability to talk about our faith.  If you are interested, even if you didn’t make it to the retreats, let’s talk and see what comes of it. 

And if you missed the retreats this winter there are resources available on both the Face Book alumni page and on the retreat guys blog site to help you do self-guided study. On the face book page just click on the menu item “Files”. On the blog site, check out “Additional Resources” on the right column.

Our next Scheduled event is the summer picnic on July 15.

working on details for a retreat this September.

Stay close to Jesus!

Chuck shared this with me today. This is a great summary of why we have been doing what we have been doing in our get togethers this winter! Please take two minutes and watch this.
