Calling all fisherman

This week, Union Chapel Church will have a booth at the Allen County 4-H fair grounds. We will be handing out information to those who walk by, and some of us will be sharing our faith and spreading the good news of Jesus Christ. We are excited about this opportunity to be light in a dark world, and are looking forward to meeting and talking with people from all over Allen county and the state. If you are not signed up to come out and help at the booth this week, we ask that you would devote yourself to praying for this time of evangelism. Pray that those who are serving, will be strengthened by God's power and be given the spirit of boldness that can come only from Christ. We will look forward to sharing our stories of those that God placed before us with you soon.

God Bless,

Chris

Independence Day

Happy Independence Day to all. I had the chance today, to listen to a talk show while I made some deliveries for work. They were talking about the history of the Declaration of Independence and what it meant. I have to admit that I didn't remember exactly all that it said, so tonight I sat down and read it line for line. I found it to be very inspiring that a group of people that had been oppressed, ignored, and pushed down, found it within themselves to stand for what they believed to be right and in their best interest. They rallied together and drew up the Declaration of Independence thereby separating themselves from the world super power Great Britain.

I think about where we are as a nation, and how we seem to loose sight of where we came from and what this country stands for. Although at times we feel oppressed (allbeit in small ways compared to the start of this great nation) but when you look at what is happening, we are slowly loosing our civil liberties, and we are being forced to pay outrageous prices for fuel. Obviously these are just few, but I did not intend this to be a rant. Rather, I intended to encourage us in this, That we are the United States of America. We are a free nation founded by men that feared God and knew how to stand up for what they thought to be right. I believe that this is still part of the American DNA. I have faith that this great nation will continue to be a free nation, a nation that sometimes strays from it's roots, but will ultimately come back to what it was meant to be. I believe that this can happen when the free people of this nation continue to stand up for what is right, true and just; and continue to be a God fearing nation

I would encourage you to read the Declaration of Independence, if for nothing else, to remind you of how we came to be, and from where we get our great resolve and tenacity.

ALLEN COUNTY FAIR

July 22-27, we will be hosting a booth at the Allen County 4H Fair. We will be handing out tracks and talking to people about their faith using the "Way of The Master" material. There is a sign up sheet available in the Adult Class room and we want to encourage you to sign up on Sunday. Our mission says, "Union Chapel exists to evangelize and develop committed followers of Jesus Christ who are devoted to becoming like Him."
This event at the fair grounds is one way we can carry out our mission. So join us as we do what the church was instructed by Christ to do.
