<div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/280631d8/dms3rep/multi/Wildermuth+Memorial+Church.png" alt=""/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <a href="/"> As I begin this newsletter, let me remind everyone that the first of our monthly gospel sings—sponsored by Don and Sylvia Lemley—will take place this coming Saturday evening. These sings will be held on the last Saturday of each month and will feature many of the Lemleys’ friends joining them to share the Gospel message through music and testimony. </a> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <a href="/"> For this first gathering, we are excited to welcome The River Valley Boys and Jan, Kameron Waits, John and Debbie Levier, along with Don and Sylvia themselves. Following the concert, we will enjoy a potluck dinner and time of fellowship together. We invite you to join us at 5:00 PM for what promises to be a wonderful evening of worship, encouragement, and Christian fellowship. </a> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <a href="/"> Then this Sunday, I will begin a new mini-series of sermons centered on “The Seven Spheres of Influence” within our culture today—areas where the Church must be actively engaged if we are to make a lasting impact in our world. </a> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <a href="/"> Throughout this year, I have challenged each of us to find “The One.” Who is the one person God is calling you to reach out to, engage with, and build a relationship with so that you may ultimately introduce them to Christ? Perhaps that person already knows Christ but is struggling to walk closely with Him. Perhaps God is calling you to walk alongside them in a journey of discipleship and encouragement. </a> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <a href="/"> <span>  </span> The purpose of this series is to equip each of us to step out boldly and actively participate in the work of Kingdom building. Certainly, we would love for people to join us in worship and fellowship here at Wildermuth, but our greater goal is the advancement of God’s Kingdom and the sharing of the hope found in Jesus Christ. This Sunday, as we kick off the series, we will learn about what the church is and what it is that God asks of the church. </a> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> — Pastor Vance </span> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> </span> <a href="/"> Cell 614-706-3040 </a> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/280631d8/dms3rep/multi/Adventure.png" alt=""/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <strong> Pastor Vance's Ventures </strong> </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <span> For your convenience, below is Pastor Vance’s tentative schedule for the next few days.
