It’s free to your church or school and it’s a powerful way to help interests come to a decision and to affirm and strengthen the faith of members. It’s “God So Loved,” the eight night satellite reaping series with Jere Patzer coming from Boise this fall. The one hour program is broadcast each evening November 10-17, 2007 on The Hope Channel at 4pm and 7pm Pacific Time (Saturday night to Saturday night).
Here are valuable resources to maximize your church’s impact–
1. Order Satellite Receiving Equipment if your church doesn’t have a dish that can receive The Hope Channel. It is very inexpensive to purchase and install. Click here for information.
2. Go to http://www.eadventist.net/ to list your downlink location on the public website. Your clerk or church secretary should be able to go to your church’s page on eadventist.net, click on the events tab, check the box for the God So Loved event and fill in a couple other bits of information such as meeting times and dates etc. Then anyone who comes to the public Web site will be able to see that church as a meeting location. Any church using this seminar should “register” in this way asap, and definitely by the first of October. The Public Website looks sharp. You can see it at http://www.nwevangelism.org/.
3. Order your Promotional Materials.
- Handbills & Posters- from Color Press at the following online site: http://www.materials.adventistevangelism.com/godsoloved/products.cfm?CID=0&CFID=81763&CFTOKEN=47023142 or click here. There are two sizes of handbills–a larger one designed for mailing, the smaller for handing out. Each item can be customized with your local information. For those churches which will be using the November 10-17 Hope Channel downlink, the ordering deadline is October 16. If you need assistance with ordering, our Color Press rep is Janet Brown at 1-800-222-2145.
