July 25-Aug. 1st is a week of Rosedale Summer Bible Conference.  This is a new name!  There is a new focus!!  Our primary focus is Christian seniors.  Many messages are pertinent to all ages and designed to address issues of interest and of daily concern.

The Morning Bible Hour will feature the video series, “What in the World is Happening?” by Dr. David Jeremiah.  Two will be presented each morning, one at 10am and the other at 11am with fellowship time and coffee served in between.  Each segment is between 30 and 40 min.

The evening sessions are topical and presented by speakers who are well-prepared for the subject matter because of their ministry focus.

Before each evening service there will be a short clip of approx. 10 minutes from a Gaither video.

On Saturday evening there will a “cook-out” instead of the usual dinner.

On Saturday evening there is a concert featuring people from your churches, home-grown EC music, plus congregational singing of favorite songs.
