The Evangelism commission is pleased to announce September 12th & 13th are the dates of our 4th retreat. Outside of Wheeling, tucked away in the rolling hills of West Virginia, there is a little known facility that we have found. “ PaulVI Pastoral Center”.
This beautiful facility is a ministry of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston.
They have opened it up to other churches wishing to enjoy the beauty that our Lord has created.
This will be a two-day retreat for members and friends, beginning Friday evening at 5:00 and ending Saturday afternoon at 2:00.
The location is Paul VI Pastoral Center (667 Stone and Shannon Road, Wheeling, West Virginia.
The cost is $60.00 per person and will cover the room (double occupancy), supper, breakfast, lunch and printed material. 35 rooms have been reserved, which will be assigned on
first-come-first- serve basis.
You will not want to miss this retreat.
For more information, please contact Herb Fletcher, our Evangelism Coordinator or the church office at 740-264-5309.
It will be a time of fun; fellowship and learning about the only command Jesus gave us: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”

COME STUDY THE BOOK OF
DANIEL
An exciting new study on the book of Daniel will begin on Wednesday, June 11 at 6 p.m.
The study will be led by Jane Gambos and will utilize the Beth Moore videos and study guides. This class will be held every Wednesday evening for 12 weeks.
Part I – Daniel 1-6 emphasized by Lives of Integrity, deals with the life of the prophet and is extremely contemporary. Daniel faced pressures and temptation similar to those of a Christian in today’s world. He teaches and models for us how to develop enduring integrity in an enticing world.
Part II – Daniel 7-12 turns to explore the prophecies of Daniel. It deals in-depth with the historical details, predictions and fulfillments detailing history from the time of Daniel, through the inter-biblical period, the time of Christ, and on to the second coming of Christ.
Purchase of a student study guide deeply enhances these studies and is encouraged. They are $16.00. Please call the church office at 264-5309 or see Jane Gambos to reserve your copy of the study guide.
