Because of Sheridan's annual volunteer banquet and my position of showing gratitude for the show of appreciation the last sessions for the Discipleship classes were postponed a week.
It was the last week of classes at Dixon but I was told by a couple of Discipleship students passes were not issued and it was only because of the correctional officers giving them grace were they able to attend. Sadly those given grace were only about half of the students.
The graduating students in both the 'Christian Living: Renewing Fatherhood and the 'Discipleship: Defending Your Faith Part 2' classes were given certificates and for the latter they were also given a copy of John MacArthur's Saved Without a Doubt.' I hope to give those who missed their certificates and books at the resumption of classes April 29.
To Him be the glory

Currently there are only 183 subscriber to Disciple Prayer Requests, (it seems one subscribes and another opts out ;-( ). I'm still hoping to raise that number to 200, if you know a prayer warrior, invite them to subscribe by sending an e-mail to SOCPM@SOCPM with 'Subscribe Disciple Prayer Requests' as the subject.
