Attention members & visitors:

Due to growth we will be testing a new meeting location in hopes that it will afford us some more space.

Please be advised that on October 19th and 26th we will meet at the Cabin restaurant.  The Cabin is located St Rt. 603, just a bit further south of the Lion's Club (directions). 

The Cabin has a meeting room that holds 150, and should afford us a little more room.  We know that this will not be a long term fix for our situation, but we hope that it might provide at least some temporary relief. 

So please be advised that October will be a different month:  

• On the 5th we will have our normal meeting at the Lion's Club.  
  
• On the 12th we will meet at the Mohican Outdoor School.  
  
• On the 19th & 26th we will meet at the Cabin.  
  

All of these will have the same service start time (10:30).

Please feel free to ask any questions, and certainly try and spread the word!

We have another great opportunity to report! Not only is Jim speaking to a Tea Party meeting today, on Wednesday our elder Mark Hamilton will be speaking to the Coalition, a conservative political action group in Ashland.  Mark was asked to speak on the topic of "God and country."

The meeting will be held at the Eagles Club, which is located at 400 Eastlake Drive, at noon.

On Monday our elder, Judge Jim Deweese, will be the featured speaker at a Mansfield North Central Ohio Tea Party forum.  Jim will be speaking on the first amendment and answering questions.  

The announcement, which appeared in the Mansfield News Journal, provides some background...

The meeting is scheduled to run from 7 to 9 p.m. and will take place at Wyandotte Senior Center, 1164 Wyandotte.

What a fun time hanging at the Lillo's!  And what a great testimony to the unity & love our church has for one another with so many families making the trek up to the Lillo's!

We enjoyed seeing God's promises affirmed this past week as six young people were baptized.  What a joy it is to remember that our God washes away our sin and brings us into fellowship with His people!              (Click a picture to see a larger view.)

Because it has gone so well, our street evangelism has continued through the August and September months.  One of the highlights has been the growing interest in the evangelism, especially among our young people.

Pictured here are just a few of our youths who have participated over the last several weeks.

We've been greatly blessed not only to share the gospel, but to see others join us in sharing the gospel on a consistent basis.  We've seen quite a great response from the Providence Church membership.  Different people from the congregation have come out regularly to speak with local passers by about Christ.  This truly is a fruit of our evangelism training that we initiated just over a year ago.

We've also enjoyed having friends from other churches coming out to share the faith.  The picture above shows two gentlemen who hail from two other churches that frequently help out.   Once we had a handful of people from another church come over and say, "Do you mind if we join you?"

All in all, the Lord has allowed us to spread out over a larger area and interact with more souls regarding their eternal state.  We give thanks to our God for this blessing and pray that the tracts we pass out and the conversations we have will be blessed for the conversion of many to Christ.
