Study Leave Results

Thank you to all who were praying for me during my two-week study leave. It was very productive. I have written twelve 10-minute talks on the subject of communicating and ministering in the church. I hope to have them recorded and posted on the church website within a couple of weeks, along with written manuscript as well.

I am now thinking of further use to make of them. One thought is to conduct on online class using the materials - perhaps a half-hour or one hour long segment each. I'll be asking Tobias and John about it. If you have ideas, let me know. Sunday's Tenth Press article will give a fuller explanation of the contents. But I'll go ahead and list the table of contents now.
