Pastor Colin,
I wanted to say thank you for introducing me to the Open The Bible resource you developed. I was attending Camp of the Woods for the first time in July, and I felt truly blessed by the chapel services. In the early part of the summer I had shared with my elders a desire to embark upon 1-year preaching focus / Bible survey, but I had not yet determined what devotional or tool might be a good fit.
Well, I was very excited when you introduced the OPEN THE BIBLE resource, and I went straight to work in seeing how the lessons would fit into the church calendar if we started in August. Well it turns out that they fit very well indeed. We started with a preview lesson last Sunday and shared lesson 1 this week. So far the messages and the devotions have been wonderfully received, and it seems like our members are excited to invite others to Open The Bible with them too.
Thanks again for encouraging our new church family to OPEN THE BIBLE together.
With Gratitude,
Jeff
