ure Chest grow each day. This would be a great #me for you to make that dona#on and get

them excited to see how fast we can fill up the chest to help the children for Jesus. We need

help seQng up on Friday evening or distribu#ng items on Saturday morning. Please call Tina

October 3-16, 2013

Come retrace the steps of the Apostle Paul! Under the direc-

#on of two experienced Bible teachers, this life-changing tour

will pay careful aFen#on to the biblical relevance of the sites

and ar#facts of western Turkey and Greece. This strong bibli-

cal emphasis on the authority and accuracy of the Word of

God will allow you to have “devo#ons with your feet” as the Scriptures turn from black and

white to Technicolor!

Dr. Richard Blumenstock and Dr. David Hoffeditz will be here Sunday, June 30th for both ser-

vices. There will also be an informa-onal mee-ng at 4:00 on June 30th for those interested in

the tour. Check out their web site at: ancienFours.org

sites include Ephesus, Philippi, Thessaloniki, Athens, Colossae, and Corinth.

• A special communion service at the loca#on where Lydia met the God-fearers at Philippi.

• An all-day, breath-taking, three-island cruise on the Saronic, allowing #me for swimming and

sightseeing.

• A worship service where Paul preached on Mars Hill (Acts 17).

• Listen to the cries of the mob at Ephesus as we read the biblical account in the exact theater

that existed during the #me of Paul.

•Visit important historical sites such as St. Sophia in Istanbul,

the acropolis in Athens, and the center of the ancient world--

Delphi.

• A ferry-ride across the Dardanelles.
