THIS MORNING HOPE CHURCH IS MEETING IN TWO LOCATIONS. Many of our members are gathered at Somerset Beach Christian Campground for worship and the preaching of God's Word. Others--like you--are meeting in Ypsilanti at our usual location.  

THE PREACHING TODAY is the first message in a four-part series based on the Book of Philippians. Chapter One says, "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." (v. 21) It also says, "Let your manner of life be worthy of the Gospel of Christ." (v. 27)  

THE BULLETIN TODAY includes a Hymn Sing Request form. Please fill out the form and place it in the offering bag at the end of the service. Your suggestion may be used in our next Hymn Sing Sunday, which is scheduled for two weeks from today on Sunday, August 30.  

PLEASE NOTE THAT SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES will not meet today because most of the teachers and students are at the campground.  

TOMORROW MORNING a ministry team from our church will travel to Georgia to serve at Renew World Outreach. The team will help with the production and distribution of high-tech ministry tools, then will return on Saturday, August 22.  

LATER THIS MONTH, many from our church will participate in the Ferris State evangelism project, a five-day immersion in personal witnessing. August 28-September 1. After this training, they will be equipped for outreach at college campuses in our local area.  

FALL CLASSES AT ANCHOR BIBLE COLLEGE start two weeks from now on August 30. 

   * This semester Anchor will offer classes at four locations: Ypsilanti, Fenton, Plymouth and Adrian. 

   * You may enjoy a one-credit class about "The Theology of Worship" or "How to Lead a Bible Study." You may prefer "Introduction to Biblical Greek" or "Christian Theology." 

   * See the list of all the fall classes at anchorbiblecollege.org.  

WE CONGRATULATE those who were baptized yesterday afternoon at our lakeside baptism service. May Christ bless their lives as they seek to follow Him.
