STS is coming!

Our Soldiers Training for Service conference begins Friday evening and runs through Sunday night. This is the annual gathering of students, graduates and friends of Grace School of the Bible here at the Shorewood Bible Church campus, located at 1900 Hicks Road, Rolling Meadows, Illinois.

This meeting is a special time of blessing, refreshing and challenge. One of the highlights is the singing. It is hard to describe the impact of these men singing the songs of grace with zeal in their hearts to the Lord. The only thing that can really catch the thrill of this is to be sitting in the front of the auditorium during the singing. I have never understood why anyone would choose to “sit in the back” when the really good seats are up front!

Brother Roy Lange’s doctors have given the ok for him to with us, although they told him he is not to preach. We’ll be sure he has opportunities to “greet” the brethren!

All the sessions will be available via the internet for those unable to attend in person. Simply go to ShorewoodBibleChurch.org and click on the video icon to view the meetings over your browser’s media player.

Special thanks go out to all the saints of Shorewood who put on a large hospitality hat and so generously provide for the needs of all who attend. It is a joy beyond description to be a part of such a congregation of God’s people for whom giving is such a natural part of life.
Maranatha!
