PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE WORD OF THIS WORKSHOP BY FORWARDING THIS INFORMATION TO ALL THE CHURCH MEMBERS ON YOUR EMAIL LISTS. THANKS.

A New Type of workshop will be held at the Lewisville (Texas) Church of Christ August 8, 9, 10, 2008. It is being called Sound Doctrine (and Practice) Workshop because it is addressing the 'sound doctrine' of Christ in the New Testament, and it is being called (Sound Doctrine and) Practice Workshop because it will address the practice of the church in the New Testament; thus, we will call it the Sound Doctrine and Practice Workshop - 2008. The invitation to attend is extended to the entire brotherhood. The dates we have chosen places the workshop right between the Global Mission Conference in Arlington, Texas, and the North Texas Teachers Workshop at Saturn Road Church of Christ in Garland, Texas.

It is designed for the entire membership - worship, study, missions, evangelism, personal work, serving in the leadership, ministering, visiting, helping others in the church and outside of the church. Speakers and topics with the 'program' will be announced as all details are completed.

During the weekend workshop, there will be 9 topics with 9 seasoned speakers, there will be exhibits of many brotherhood works, singing of original music written by Lewisville members, a meal at Saturday noon, and a workshop on the Mission Learning Center showing how it is done and demonstrating the method with an actual class of children in a 'simulated culture.'

The Lewisville Church of Christ was established 10 years ago and began with 200 'charter members.' That number, 10 years later, stands at near 800 members. This is being accomplished by practicing the sound doctrine being preached and taught by men adhering closely to God's word and members living as Christians. This congregation is experiencing growth at a time when the overall membership of the church in the U.S. is declining. There are reasons for that. The workshop may help you learn some of these reasons.

All members of the Lord's body are invited and encouraged to come to the workshop. It is being overseen by the elders of Lewisville, who invite all members across the country to come and hear some excellent speakers express 3rd millennium views of the church established in the first century.
