We Care Campaign at Boone Street in Marshalltown:

Dear Brethren in Iowa,

The Boone Street congregation in Marshalltown is conducting a "WE CARE CAMPAIGN" as our main outreach for the year. The dates will be July 28-Aug. 8

We have carefully selected from the many "WE CARE" cadre members, five couples that are of sound teaching and loving disposition, to help guide our efforts.

These folks will be arriving in their motor homes and staying in our park, about July 28,
and will begin immediately to work by holding a "BOOT CAMP" to equip the Saints in how to confront the lost with love.

Loved ones, this is a chance for your congregation to learn of a "battle proven" door approach and to gain some practical experience and valuable insight into the ministry of
SOUL WINNING.

We at Boone Street would love to have you join us in this campaign. We want to cover as much of our town as possible and many hands are needed.

Although knocking doors and doing Bible studies in as many homes as possible is our goal, a typical day is filled with a Devotional, Singing, Encouragement, Food and Fellowship. The day is then finished with Preaching each night at 7pm.

Please pray for this effort that God will give us the increase, better yet make plans to join us.
Our office phone is (641)753-6467 or My cell phone (641)691-3364

For the men of the Boone Street congregation,

Mike Hegstrom
Minister of outreach

Jul 28 - Aug 1

    In the early days of the church, Ervin Wright was the regular minister for several years. According to the 1852 census, Ervin Wright's name appears as being a resident of Greene County. He was also a circuit riding preacher, doing evangelistic work in a wide area surrounding Greene County. Once when asked why he farmed, it is reported that he said, "I farm to feed my family."

    On July 28 - August 1, 2004, you will have the opportunity to hear the great-great grandson of Ervin Wright, David Wright from Parsons, Tennessee. David will be presenting a series of lessons, preaching from the same gospel that was preached by his great-great grandfather in the late 1800's.

    If you have any questions, or need further information, please call 515 386-3199, or 515 386-3060, or email websters@netins.net .

    Please announce and post the above announcement where you attend church.

Sep 25, Saturday Annual Midwest Bible Camp Corporation Meeting and Youth Retreat
Oct 3-5, Sun-Tue
Oct 3-6, Sun-Wed

Dear brethren,
Greetings from the Lord's church in Mason City! We hope that all is well with the church there and we pray that God continues to bless the work of your hands. The work in Mason City has been going great! We have recently started a couple new works and we have had great response to those works. So suffice to say, it's been busy! But what has really kept us busy is getting ready for our Gospel Meeting.
Yes, it's finally here! We have been preparing for this Gospel Meeting for quite some time. The area has been literally covered with mailings and advertisements. A lot of effort and hard work has gone into this meeting, but nothing is complete without having faithful brethren to come and help support and hear some fine Gospel preaching. That's You! We would honor your presence at our meeting and pray that many can come from there as possible on October 3rd—6th in Mason City. (See flyer for more details)

In Service for the Lord,
The church in Mason City

P.S. The Lord is at work in His church!
