We are pleased to welcome T. David Gordon back to North Collins and to our fellowship. Dr. Gordon currently serves as Professor of Religion and Greek at Grove City College and has been our teaching guest for this year’s 14th Leadership Forum. Let’s give him our full attention as he opens God’s Word for us this morning.
If you haven’t made summer vacation plans yet, you may want to consider the beautiful Gordon College campus in Wenham, Mass., host to the 70th CCCC Annual Gathering (July 31st – Aug 3rd). This year’s theme is “Developing a Culture of Peace”—as it relates to our personal walk of faith, our life in Christian community, and our ministry of outreach and evangelism. Check out the back table for more information on seminars, accomodations, and registration. See you in Massachusetts! (Maybe the snow will be gone by then!)
