Es es Echo“Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”

Ephesians 4:3

This past Sunday, brother Jim Corner with World Bible School delivered a class and sermon exhort-ing us to consider personal evangelism and to spread the gospel through the World Bible School program. These messages were scheduled as a means to restart a program that has been a part of Estes for a long time. Through World Bible School,

Bible lessons are mailed all over the world; those lessons are then “graded” and mailed by church members in the U.S. – even here at Estes. Many have ex-pressed a desire to be involved in mailing material through the program. Some have expressed a need to be taught more about the program and what they can do. Your level of involvement can be very flexible; those with more time can handle more students. If you have limited time, your involvement can be less. If you are interested in helping with World Bible School, please contact me. I can be reached via email at northrop_j@yahoo.com. You can also contact me by phone (my number is in the directory).

On Wednesday, April 6, 2016, those interested in working with the World Bible School program are invited to meet in the Fellowship Room during Bible class time. We will go over the logistics of how the program works and will as-sign new contacts to anyone who desires them. ANYONE can be involved in this work - college and high school students are encouraged to participate. Adults of all ages can attend and learn more. If this is a busy time of year for you and you feel you cannot participate but might want to in the future, we will offer a simi-lar class periodically to maintain our knowledge and involvement. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

No one can do everything but everyone can do something. Isaiah de-clared, “Here am I! Send me!” (Isaiah 6:8). Today, we have the opportunity to express the same sentiment. Please consider being a part of the World Bible School ministry.

We welcome Leonard and Ann Lutz to our Estes family. Leonard was a gospel preacher for 62 years; the couple lived in Georgia, West Virginia, Ohio, and Kentucky. Now retired, Ann enjoys quilting, singing, and working in the yard. Leonard loves to teach and work on his computer. You may know the Lutzs best as the parents of our Lisa Eldridge.

Paul wrote in 1 Timothy chapter 3:

1Tim. 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

In following this pattern the Estes elders have selected additional men to serve in this capacity: Gary Irwin, John McLaughlin, and Mark Scott.

The elders have met with these men and we believe all three meet the qualifica-tions to serve as elders of this congregation. If you know of any scriptural reason why they do not meet these qualifications, please submit your scriptural objec-tion in writing to one of the elders by April 1st. If no scriptural reason is provided, these men will be installed to serve this congregation as elders on April 3rd.
