UPDATE FOR SEPTEMBER 2006
Summer?s End Conference at Florence. The Harding University Florence Branch sponsors a convention each year, and this gives us opportunity to display our publications. We are enthusiastic because the high quality of the messages each year meets deep needs of the churches. We are able to make new acquaintances from various parts of Italy, even if for that brief period we have together to share life, experiences, prayers and hopes. This is spiritual capital for future investments!
Enid the Printer. In preparation for two conventions, Enid kept our photocopier running hot (it was also summertime) and spiral-binding Bible study books and lessons for distribution at these meetings.
Since it was summer, she watered her garden, and we have enjoyed a few roasting ears, the green beans are beginning to come on. The growing time is longer for us, because her garden is located in the shade of one massive pine tree and our apartment building. But, thank the Lord, the garden does produce, and we enjoy fresh vegetables.
The Law of Christ and Christian Liberty. Some will remember Harold?s Stateside presentation of this subject. Churches here are asking for a replay of this program. He has now updated the Italian version of this Bible study in PowerPoint format for presentation in the churches. Pray that out of it may come further contacts among Churches of Christ. The purpose is not mere academic instruction, but bettering the quality of service to our Lord and unity of the Body of Christ.
Pray for unity among God?s people. We are planning to meet with other brethren on October 21 to begin working on practical steps to Christian unity among the heirs of the Restoration Movement here in Italy. Put this date on your prayer calendar, as the Lord?s people look for His face in other committed believers.
