Announcements
This Fall, (September 25-October 11) Pastor Ric has been invited to Germany for three weeks of coaching church planters in Frankfurt and Cologne. He will be working with the leadership team of Frankfurt City Church www.frankfurtcitychurch.de and helping Dr. Steven Beck, who is a professor at Freie Theologische Akademie www.fta.de in Giessen. Ric would appreciate everyone’s prayers as he invests this time in the lives of these young church planters in Germany and researches possible summer ministry trips for our church in the near future. He is also in need of about $2300 for support, $800 of which is needed immediately for his plane ticket. Thanks for your support and prayers as we stand behind Ric in this mission God has given him. Please take one of the letters explaining the trip if you are interested. They are on the table in the lobby.
