a couple of important announcements

It’s an exciting time of year here at The Beach Fellowship. We are planning on moving our Sunday services to the beach again starting June 5 for what will be our fifth year! As we prepare for this transition, there are few things that we would like to make sure everyone is aware of, and has a chance to participate in.

As we have done every year, prior to going out on the beach we will be holding our annual Jericho March starting Monday evening, May 30th at 7pm. We will meet every night that week at the parking lot on Ocean View Parkway where we have our services and begin with group prayer, then pray silently as we walk around the city. We pray that God will cause the walls to come down spiritually in our community, that we can experience the freedom to proclaim the gospel in the strength that God provides as we begin our beach services. The seventh day will be our first Sunday morning service which begins at 8am. We hope that you will join us for the Jericho March every night that you can, and if you’re out of town you can still participate in spirit with us each evening.

Also, we are asking you to pray about another event we are calling “sponsor a sign”. As you may know, we utilize yard sale type of signs to get the message out about our Sunday services. In the past we have had only as many as 4 or 5 out there, and yet have seen God really multiply their effectiveness. This year we are hoping to get as many as 12 signs out in our community. And to do that we are asking for people to sponsor a sign, either by donating $25 for the cost of a sign, or by offering a location to place a sign. In spite of the growth we have seen each year, there are potentially many thousands of people that never hear about our services and as a result, may never hear the gospel fully presented in truth.

God has already been working in exciting ways during this “off season” in our church, and we look forward to sharing with you many more things that will be upcoming as we go into the summer. I would also appreciate your prayers for the next few days as I attend the East Coast Pastor’s Conference with a couple of men from our church. It’s an important time for me to get my spiritual tank refilled and I’m really looking forward to it. Thank you for working together with us in this ministry.

2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
