A LINE FROM DANNY

Have you ever had a “Discipleship Training Fair”? Well, we are this coming Sunday! We are taking a baseball theme of “Field of Dreams”. We are using the lines “become all that you have dreamed of being through discipleship” and “become His (Jesus Christs’) national past-time. We are turning our fellowship hall into a baseball diamond. Our people will have the opportunity to sign-up for 15 short-term and 3 year long classes. The short-term classes are in the subjects of spiritual growth, parenting, and Beth Moore studies. The night will feature games, door prizes,
refreshments, and much, much more. I will let you know the results in next weeks Framework Weekly newsletter. I did a similiar fair like this using a different theme and tripled our Sunday night involvement in discipleship.

This issue of the Framework Weekly is on discipleship. May you find some help for you and your leaders in its content.

A special promotion is planned in coming months to use “Built By The Owner’s Design” to strategies for the new church year and as a gift for “Pastor Appreciation Month” in October.

PASTOR APPRECIATION MONTH

What better way to let your pastor or pastors in your charge know you appreciate them than by securing a copy of “Built By The Owner’s Design” by Danny Von Kanel for Pastor Appreciation month in October. Having trouble discipling people, let your pastor see chapters 8-11 and begin the discipling process. Doug Beachem says, “Chapters 8-11 are one of the best descriptions of
connecting evangelism and discipleship I have read.”

The book is available at all Lifeway & Family Christian bookstores or at www.csspub.net. In addition, you can purchase a copy at www.amazon.com, www.borders.com, or at www.walmart.com.
