Leadership Summit and Lunch Discussion

Last year we had lots of people from our area take advantage of our Leadership Summit lunch and discussion. This year I have again been able to reserve a nice, private room for both Thursday and Friday of the Summit.

We can help you with a sandwich, chips and drink lunch for about $5 or if you already have a lunch you can just bring it with you. We have room for about 25 people, very convenient and affordable. No leaving the campus, no fighting the traffic, no worrying about lunch and you get to hang out with some great people.

Location: Room 3000 of the Staff Center – Building A – the building nearest Algonquin Rd. entrance. Room 3000 is on the third floor, lakeside of the building.

Cost: $5 for lunch

Just RSVP me by - Aug. 3rd - which days you want to come:

Thurs. - Aug 5th - indicate Lunch or No Lunch

Friday – Aug 6th - indicate Lunch or No Lunch

Love thy Neighbor Serve - 7/31/10

It looks like things are winding down on the Navajo house we worked on last month. We have been asked to help wrap things up on the project, probably with a bunch of punch list items. I don't have all the details, yet but will forward more information as it becomes available.

For right now, please check your 7/31 date - hope you can make it. This will be very similar to our last serve. We will be having a Construction Ministry meeting at Willow beforehand (7-9 AM) and will travel from there to the job site (probably on-site by 9:30).

The address of the site is:
265 Navajo, Carpentersville (look for a blue gray, bi-level with new siding on the corner).

This is a great project and a terrific way to meet fellow servants from other teams and churches. Hope you can save the date and join us.

Join a Men's Breakfast

This month we’re learning from the strength given to Samson. He came into the world under unique conditions, was committed by his parents to be set apart for God, and lived a life that exposed his strengths and his weakness. Look at how God uses both, for His purposes.

Truth Quest Event - Comparing World Religions

TruthQuest apologetics event is this month on Friday, July 30th at 7:30pm.
Hosted in Room 392 which is above the West entrance above the Harvest food court area.

Dr. Harold Netland from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School is our special guest this quarter and will address and compare key doctrinal issues from four major worldviews. This will be an excellent event both for people interested in checking out the claims of Christianity and for Christians to become better equipped. I had Dr. Netland as a teacher at Trinity and absolutely loved his book "Dissonant Voices." An excellent book comparing world religions.
