[Uucf-bible] Revival/Retreat 2010 updates and deadline and opportunities approaching

[RevRonRobinson at aol.com]

Hi all. Please pass on the announcement below to church email lists and  
newsletters and to your own emails and social networks. Thanks. Just a little  
more than one week to go for the early discounted rate for Revival. Plus  
airfares to Dallas seem to be at very low fares now. Please keep the revival  
planning team in prayer as we enter the last weeks; keep the host site 
Horizon  Church and their UUCF group in prayer as they are finishing up a 
building  project that we will get to experience with new space; keep in prayer 
all those  who will be travelling to Revival and all of our presenters. Our 
keynote  lecturers have just finished new books and more on the way. And keep 
Revival  itself and the UUCF in prayer; this is a time to support both. 
blessings,  Ron
