Southwest SWORD Newsletter A ministry of the Church of God 7th day

Retreat 2008
"Less is More"

Memorial Day weekend, 2008 is just around the corner, in beautiful Jasper, AR. Key scripture is borrowed from John the Baptist; when he lays aside his calling and fame for Jesus'.  He said, 'I must decrease and He must increase'. The Lord will convict us all on a different level - on things we all struggle with, maybe we are too comfortable with the material things we have - maybe we focus too much on what other people think of our outward appearances? What if God wants us to have less - for His glory? are we willing to lay every thing down?

Special Speakers will include Larry Marrs (Stanberry, MO) & Bertha Upchurch (Houston, TX).
Praise & Worship will be led by Steve & Annette Cortez (Savannah, GA).
