Greetings,
There are great things in the works at Wesley Chapel. You are aware, of course, of our upcoming COMMUNITYFEST that is planned for October 29th. This is a very wonderful opportunity for us to make our presence in these neighborhoods known. And once our presence is known, we have a new opportunity to begin to be in ministry as a church. So, pray everyday for the successful launch of this outreach. Pray that many, many people will be there. In fact, as you pray ask God to bring to your mind families with children and youth and folks who would enjoy a good outing looking at crafts and listening to music, so that you can invite them to be a part of our celebration and outreach. Even if they go to another church, ask them. The more the merrier. We aren't trying to take anyone away from a church they love. But, if they come they will just make the day even more successful.
Also, as an ongoing part of our efforts to become a deeply spiritual church that serves God together, we are having the third of our series of home prayer meetings this Sunday evening. Mrs. Dottie Wade has graciously offered to host us this week. We thank her, as we thank Danny and Leigh Thomas for hosting our first home prayer meeting and Derwood and Regina Boyles for opening their home for the second one. Make sure you plan to join your Wesley Chapel brothers and sisters at 6pm Sunday evening at Dottie's home for this time of prayer and intercession. We will be praying for our community, our seminary (WBS), our missionaries, our youth, and our church's ministry.
I look forward to seeing you where we worship God,
Pastor Steve

Coming Up at Wesley Chapel
Greetings,
This week in the life of Wesley Chapel is an outstanding example of the uniqueness of our fellowship. How? This week we have the opportunity to be blessed by our relationship with Wesley Biblical Seminary in the annual Transform:ED conference and the opening convocation exercises. Dr. Gareth Cockerill will be lecturing this week for the conference and, of course, all of you who can are invited to attend these lectures. Dr. Cockerill will be speaking on the doctrine of Christian holiness and the call to Christ-like living as it presented from the New Testament book of Hebrews. Dr Cockerill is one of the leading experts in the world today on the Book of Hebrews and is a nationally-recognized and acclaimed scholar of the New Testament. That's right, right here in our "back yard" at Wesley Chapel we have the opportunity to hear a tremendous scholar speak, but a scholar who first and foremost loves God, loves the Church and loves people. In addition to his scholarship, Dr Cockerill spent 12 years as a missionary to Sierra Leone in west Africa. This cross cultural and pastoral experience makes him very adept as presenting deep biblical truths in practical ways that people can embrace and engage.
Also, in our fellowship we have one of the seminary's outstanding graduates Ghuna Kumar. He is here to be honored by the seminary for his outstanding work for the Kingdom of God in his native India, where he has baptized over 10,000 Hindus into the Christian faith. Some there have referred to him as "the Apostle Paul of India." He will be speaking in our morning worship service this coming Sunday.
These are opportunities that not only do you not want to miss, but you want to invite others to experience. So, let me encourage you to call your friends--especially persons who are not active in a church or are looking for a church home--and tell them about the exciting things that are happening for WBS and Wesley Chapel this week.
See you where we worship God,
Pastor Steve
