    Guest ReceptionThere is a guest reception in the Commons immediately following theSaturday night and the 11:00 a.m. Sunday morning service. Come and meet

    Dr. Wicker.

    Walking in the Footsteps of JesusWe are greatly

    privileged to

    host Dr. Ray

    V a n d e r L a a n

    next weekendin a special Bible

    Conference. Ray

    founded That

    the World May

    Know Ministries

    and oers an

    extensive ministry through cross-cultural

    seminars. There are many hits on his website,Follow the Rabbi (followtherabbi.com).

    Along with Focus on the Family, he lmed

    the ground-breaking video series, That the

    World May Know, and also In the Dust of

    the Rabbi, and Walk as Jesus Walked. He

    conducts a seminar, In the Footsteps of

    the Disciples in Israel and Turkey and has

    also authored Echoes of His Presence. One

    of our families has graciously provided for

    the rest of the church to attend this special

    conference without cost.

    Ray helps us to understand the land,

    the culture, and the context of the Bible,

    answering questions such as these: Whywas the desert the place where God chose

    to speak to His people? How well do you

    know Jesus as the Rabbi? How well do

    you know His Bible? What was Galilee like

    when Jesus taught there? What was the

    kingdom of Heaven thought to be in Jesus

    day? What was a true disciple in the world

    of that day and in ours? Ray uses visual

    presentations and fascinating teaching to

    not only reveal the Words context in that

    day, but the way and the walk of a disciple

    who follows the Master Teacher today. As

    one U.S. Marine who attended his seminar

    wrote: I honestly dont think I will ever bethe same. The Text (the Bible) is so much

    more precious to me.

    Ray VanderLaan holds the Chair of Biblical

    Cultural Studies at Holland Christian

    Schools in Michigan. See why over

    5,000 people have been blessed on his

    educational trips to the Holy Land. I urgeyou to attend the Friday night and Saturday

    daytime sessions and know the Lord Jesus

    like never before.

    I have begun my new sermon series from

    Proverbs, Life-ol-ogy: Wisdom for

    Living. Each thematic treatment of the

    text will oer practical help in many areas. I

    urge you to purchase a CD of the message

    in order to record the scripture references

    and listen to the insights again. May we

    all receive and treasure Gods words and

    commandments (Proverbs 2:1).

    - Please remain in the worship center (except in the case ofemergency) once you have entered to worship.

    - Should your child become unsettled or noisy during theworship service, please take your little one to the Fellowship
