The Lord’s Supper – Sunday morning October 1
“The annual Bibles International (BI) dinner and program is planned for Thursday, October 19, 2017, from 6-9 p.m.
The location is Calvary Baptist Church, 1200 28th St. SE, Grand Rapids. The event is intended for family and friends of BI.
A delicious meal is served in banquet atmosphere….catered by Applause Catering. It will again be an evening of fellowship, information, and spiritual blessing. This year’s theme is ‘New Projects Await.’ BI continues to do research for new projects in several different regions around the world. Recently three new projects have been adopted in the country of Myanmar for literacy and New Testament translation. There is no cost for the dinner. Table sponsorships and underwriting gifts take care of the costs of the evening. There will be a voluntary offering taken at the end of the program which will go in its entirety toward the cost of translation projects. We invite folks from your church to be a part of this evening. It would be nice if someone would serve as a table host who would encourage folks to fill a table of 10. If there are less, that would be fine too. Please let us know if you can attend. by phone as follows: Glenn at #616-455-0541 or Bonnie at #616-942-7712, ext 25.
