[DistUpd] FIREworks Newsletter

[District Updates]

Greetings in Christ!

Attached is the current issue of FIREworks, a newsletter designed to educate and update the leaders of the Nebraska District on the Fan into Flame campaign in Nebraska. This newsletter is sent every other week to share current information and stories about the things God is doing through Ablaze! and Fan into Flame. Information is also available on the District website at http://www.ndlcms.org/news/FIF/index.html.

Pastors and church office staff are encouraged to print and post this newsletter, reproduce this page for their congregational newsletter, or forward it to their electronic mailing list. Issues of this newsletter are also available on the webpage listed above.

You are receiving this newsletter because you receive the weekly Email Update e-newsletter. If you wish to unsubscribe from this list, you may email your request to nicholeh at ndlcms.org<mailto:nicholeh at ndlcms.org>. Removing yourself from this list will also take you off the list to receive the weekly Email Update, the Mission Fields Nebraska newsletter, and the Sudan Mission newsletter.

Also attached to this email is President Sommerfeld's August Fan into Flame letter, a hard copy of which was mailed to all church offices last week. This letter may also be reproduced or forwarded to congregation members to help educate and inform them about Fan into Flame. Also attached is an electronic copy of a Fan into Flame fact sheet and pledge agreement form, along with a profile from a Nebraska District congregation that completed their appeal this summer. Congregations are encouraged to use these resources as they discuss the invitation to be a part of this exciting mission effort.

I appreciate the opportunity to share with you news of how God is using the congregations and individuals of the Nebraska District. Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have on Ablaze! or Fan into Flame.
