This year we will begin “Truth for Youth” this coming Thursday night at 6 PM in the Church School fellowship hall.
The students wanted to personally invite you to come last Sabbath, but they were sharing their talents and gifts at the Maywood church. They would really like for you to come out and to invite a friend to come with you.
You will be amazed, touched by the Holy Spirit, and inspired as you listen to each message!
There will also be snacks and crafts for all ages.
Lets not miss an opportunity for EXTREME GROWTH!

evangelistic initiative for the rest of this year and 2010. There are
numerous evangelists and evangelistic programs involved in this
project, including Mark and Teenie Finley, vice-president of the
General Conference and Ron Clouzet, ministerial director of the North
American Division.

This is a joint project between the Illinois Conference and the Lake
Region Conference. Between the two conferences we have about 80
churches in Chicagoland and almost all of these churches are committed
to participating in Hope Can be Yours.

Community outreach events will lead up to 24 church based evangelistic
series that will begin simultaneously on April 30, 2010. These
meetings will culminate with our Chicagoland Convocation on May 22 at
Wheaton College.

We are grateful to the Gurnee and Deer Park Churches who have given up
their pastor, Chris Holland, to coordinate this project for the next
year.

You will be hearing more about the training and evangelistic processes
and events that will be taking place over the next year, including
several mentioned below in the Events section.

Willie Ramos at Hinsdale Church

Many people from around Chicagoland have been in attendance at
Hinsdale Church to hear the preaching of Willie Ramos, the “Ghetto
Preacher”. These meetings conclude on Saturday night, October 3.

Tony Moore at Naperville Church

The Naperville Church was packed to overflowing on the opening night
of meetings with Tony Moore. These meetings are all about Jesus and
use Biblical archaeology to gain people’s interest.

Evangelist Herb Montgomery at the Southwest Church

Herb Montgomery will be preaching a series of evangelistic meetings at
the Southwest SDA Church on November 6 – 15.

Baptism at Mount Vernon

The latest people to be baptized at the Mount Vernon Church are Jeff
and Cyndi Peak. After having Bible studies they were baptized on
September 19 in Rend Lake. I met them when I was at the church
recently and I can attest to their enthusiasm for their new church
home. (Jeff and Cyndi are the two in the middle of the photo)

Jack Sequeira with Broadview Church

On September 11 – 20, Jack Sequeira preached a very Christ-centered
series of meetings for the public sponsored by the Broadview Church
and their pastor, Paul Lowe.

ShareHim in Bolingbrook

Bolingbrook Church first elder, Karl Watson, preached a ShareHim
series of evangelistic meetings at his church on August 28 – September
11. At the conclusion of the meetings, Karl’s own son was baptized.

West Central Evangelism

Pastor David Sitler reports that there will be an evangelistic series
at the West Central Church beginning October 16. The series is
entitiled, “Living With Hope.” It will conclude on November 21.

Salem Church Baptism

Here is a story that happened some months ago but I think it is still
worth sharing. Ray Koethe was baptized on April 25 of this year.
Sometime in the past he had joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church by
profession of faith but later slipped away. His connection with the
church was re-established last year which led to his baptism this past
spring at the Salem Church. Ray is 92 years of age.

Cool YouTube Video

If you want some inspiration, check out this YouTube video that comes
to us from the Sheridan Church and Steve Bell.

Reaching Out to Our Muslim Friends

Elder Bryan Gallant, NAD Director of Adventist Muslim Relations, will
be the guest speaker at the Broadview SDA Church, 3101 S 25th Ave,
Broadview, IL on October 10, 2009, 10 am and 2 pm.  Learn how to reach
out to your Muslim neighbors.  Call Pastor Paul Lowe for more
information.  (269) 240-7637.
