Dear Rev. Mark

RE: INVITATION TO PREACH AT ST. FRANCIS CHAPEL MAKERERE

Christian greetings and love from the St. Franciscans. This is to invite you to preach at St. Francis Chapel in all the services at 7am, 9am, and 11am on the 03^rd July 2011. Our theme for this year 2011 is from Romans 12:2 “Be transformed by renewing your mind” and the subtheme for the month of July is ‘The kingdom of God.’

Background

The church of Christ today is struggling in the area of holiness. The message and teachings on the grace of God have also been watered down among some churches, which say that once one is born again, it does not matter what they do as long as they are born again. In other words, they condone sin because they believe that God’s grace is sufficient. In May and June, we examined ourselves with reference to the seven churches in the book of Revelation.  Now we are moving onto assessing ourselves as the children of the Kingdom of God by beginning with Jesus as ‘the way’ into the Kingdom.

Through out the month of July we will be holding teachings on the Kingdom of God. We are therefore requesting you to look at the following readings: Proverbs 4:10-18; II Corinthians 4:11-18 and John 1:1-11 and preach on the topic “Jesus is the only way” as God’s Spirit will lead you.

The Congregation

The congregations at St. Francis have three main categories; 7am predominantly older people (lecturers, professors, old people) 9am (predominantly students) 11am (predominantly young marrieds 1- 15 years in marriage) however all congregations have at least a mixture of the three.

  

We request that you preach for a maximum of 30 minutes. You can send your sermon outline on ages29@yahoo.com and rev.jebong@gmail.com or incase of any queries contact me on 0772 490525 or Esther on 0414577722 or 0772581560.

We appreciate your acceptance to come and bless us at St. Francis Chapel and we look forward to your ministry with us on Sunday 3^rd July 2011. Be assured of our prayer support. In case of change in mind or program kindly let us know as soon as possible in order to make the necessary adjustments.

God richly bless you as you prepare

In His Grip
