The person who creates or leads or labors will inevitably make many mistakes. But at least those who strive to accomplish something of worth will not make the mistake of doing nothing. Anonymous

Dont Miss Your Chance to Bless and Be Blessed...The Needs are Many model my kitchen and to add more cupboards when a Cambodian child sobbed, I have no cup. I dreamed of building a getaway place, a cabin in the woods, a country place. Across the water came the cry, I have no country. I bought a new widescreen TV for a loved ones pleasure when a war orphan murmured, I have no loved ones. May God forgive us when our ears wont hear and our eyes wont see the sounds and sights of suffering around us. Amen.

When Ears Wont Hear I went downtown shopping for designer sheets when someone whispered, I have no bed. I stood at an appliance store comparing prices of microwave ovens when an Ethiopian woman wept, I have no food. I hired a decorator to re-

This is an extreme project for the fit and adventurous. Seek and engage people in a village that is physically difficult to access. Trek, bus or hike with a small team using whatever means possible to gt into this village. Look for people of peace, sleep in local homes, eat what they eat, live how they live and share the Truth boldly. Change this nation, one village at a time. Cover this project with prayer.

Bible Quiz
Around 450 years before Jesus, the prophet Nehemiah heard some bad news about conditions in Jerusalem. The city still lay in ruins following an invasion by the Babylonian army many years before. The news caused Nehemiah to sit down and cry. After mourning for days, he felt that he should lead men to rebuild the wall and gates around Jerusalem. He organized a work force and, despite some opposition, they rebuilt the wall. A well-known verse describes the accomplishment: So we rebuilt the wall, and all the wall was joined together to half its height; for the people had a mind to ________. A. be protected B. work C. serve D. live (The correct answer can be found in Nehemiah 4:6)

Q: In what part of the Bible is baseball mentioned? A: in the big-inning

West Lynchburg Baptist Church Sunday School Quarterly Report/August, 2012

QUARTERLY MEETING TOOK PLACE ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 12, 2012 AT 5:30 P.M.

Mark 16:20Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with then and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.

We want our Sunday School to be a missionary Sunday School in which we focus on people in our neighborhood by finding prospects for each age/life stage whom we can invite to Sunday School, discussing where we went and what we did for others each week, and through our Bible Study that we can show Jesus to others in deliberate and intentional ways through the Holy Spirit.

We have the following opportunities to show Jesus to others beginning in this Sunday School year: *What group of prospects could we add to our Sunday School with a space to meet and a teacher to teach? *Which groups would be willing to host a morning or afternoon of Street Team to invite others to Sunday School and to share Jesus with others? *Which one of the following groups of persons would our Sunday School pray for Gods guidance for a local missions project? College students, terminally ill persons, unemployed persons, newly released prisoners, homeless persons. The purpose of this local missions project would be to meet physical needs but also spiritual needs as we are led by the Holy Spirit. *Who can train us to bring our Sunday School into the 21st century by using technology such as using interactive Bible games, group texting, updating emails and group emailing, skyping a Bible study with others? *Who is willing to shadow a Sunday School teacher and serve as a substitute teacher when ready? *Who will lead each age division (preschoolers/children; youth and college; adults) to have a fun fall fellowship for inviting friends and prospects? *Which groups will apply the Bible weekly, tell stories of salvation monthly, and pray daily that we would be Gods Sunday School?

We will continue the conversation at our next meeting on Sunday, November 4 at 5:30 in the fellowship hall.
