This Sunday, Pastor Dave will preach a REVIEW OF REVELATION. We suspect you have a question or two about the teaching so far, so here’s what we’re going to do…

After the sermon this week, you can send a question about Revelation to Pastor Dave. We’ll compile the questions and in two weeks, Dave will use the sermon time to answer the top questions. Here’s how you can send a question in:

• Text it in on your cell phone to 509-713-ASK1 (2751)
• Submit the question via the comment form on this blog
• Email it to Joanne Lueck
• Write it on your weekly comment card this Sunday

Happy asking!

I met with Dave Bechtel yesterday and we scheduled an “Ask Anything: Revelation” service. Here’s how it will work:

1. On February 14, Dave will preach a review of Revelation so far. We hope that the review will stimulate questions. At the end of the service, we’ll announce how you can submit a question. There will be several ways:

• on the back of your Welcome Card
• send a text message (we’ll advertise the number to text at the end of the service)
• comment on this blog (we’ll open up the comments section)

2. Over the next 10 days we will collate the questions and on Sunday, February 28, Dave will answer the top questions.

So, put your thinking cap on and get your questions ready!
