Some of you cross the word “Budget” and write “Church Expense.” Funds marked as “Church Expense” do not get divided and allocated. Such funds remain on a separate line, for use, at treasurer’s discretion, on contingency costs, that were not foreseen or budgeted for. We would like you to be informed in your giving.

Pastor’s Blog Resources for you

Last Sabbath during the Sabbath School time I mentioned some resources and you were asking for more details. So, here are great websites for to download and listen Adventist sermons:

Dwight K. Nelson http://www.pmchurch.tv/

Ron Halvorsen Jr. http://www.collegeviewchurch.org/article.php?id=121

Charles A. Tapp http://www.sligochurch.org/2011-sermon-library

Another good resource is www.churchpond.com And, of course, do not ignore our own site www.adventistlondon.ca

where sermons are also archived, and links are provided for seminars and resources.

Shifting gears here ... Today you will hear a challenge for a Radical Experiment with Your Life, starting October 1.

I challenge you to apply extraordinary commitment to practice five ordinary steps:

1. Pray for the entire World. 2. Read through the entire Bible 3. Sacrifice luxury for a Godly project 4. GO and learn a new culture, discover a new worldview. 5. Mentor a disciple for Christ’s family

I will explain more in the sermon. We will also prepare handouts, through newsletters, blogs, website, to assist you with your Bible Reading Plan, and with the list of countries we will be praying for.

For now check out following sites: For prayer http://www.operationworld.org/

For Bible Reading http://www.youversion.com/reading-plans/all

We also would appreciate more volunteers to facilitate and coordinate this long-term commitment effort for our church. If you feel the Lord calling you to get involved more than what you had done before – do not hesitate – speak to church leadership and make a difference!

In service of the Great Shepherd, pastor Alex Golovenko
