This is our final week of preparations for the 36th Annual Northwest Bible Conference. This is the week to get signed up for areas of ministry to make sure all needs are met. This is the week to go shopping if you are preparing food for the meals during the conference. This is the week when we are going to focus our prayer efforts on the Lord’s work through the Bible conference once again. I am thankful that the church still desires to host this conference each year and put forth the effort to make it happen. But, choosing to host also requires doing the work to make it work. We still need nursery workers to make sure we have a safe and efficient place of care for the little ones trusted into our care. We still need people to provide food items for each meal and for people to serve the meals or clean up after the meals. This event involves a lot of moving parts working together, and we need to pray for the help of the Holy Spirit to work in us and through us to make sure those parts working together are glorifying to God while not creating friction with one another. If you do not have a place to serve, please see me. If you are not sure where you can be helpful, please see Pastor Steve or myself and we will find a place for you to help. This is the week to get yourself prayed up and rested up for the Northwest Bible Conference so we can be at our best as servants of God who are here to serve God’s servants. We have many guests who are coming and some of them are coming for the first time. It is our greatest desire to honor the Lord in our ministry during the conference. Our second greatest desire is to be a blessing to each and every guest that comes to take part in this meeting. Please be in prayer for all of us to serve with a smile and greet everyone who comes with the love of God that we have been given. May we give of ourselves in our time, energy, and finances to make this conference pleasing to the Lord and a blessing to our guests. Tuesday morning is always a big part of the Bible conference. We have the teen service as well as the children’s service taking place during the preaching in the worship center. It is during the Tuesday morning service that we present needs and raise funds to help meet those needs. Please be praying that the Lord will enable all who attend to be a help to others who are in need. This is a big part of our annual ministry, and I pray you will let it be a big part of your life as well. Let us prepare ourselves to serve!
