from Brian Schaffer, Assistant District Superintendent . . .
"We are excited about our denomination's mission statement of 'making Christlike
disciples in the nations'. I trust that your church is embracing this
emphasis on fulfilling our Lord's commission that he's given all of us as His
followers.
We are looking forward to gathering together with our district family on
Thursday and Friday, May 1 & 2, 2008 in the North Austin area. We will
conduct our annual assembly business, hear from district ministry leaders,
ordain ministerial candidates, and most importantly, unite our hearts together
in a time of inspiring worship, prayer, and hearing from God's Word. I
know you will want to be a part of this great event.
In an effort to assist you in your planning we have compiled some helpful
resources for you. They are listed below for your review.
