|"Is Robin Mark REALLY coming to downtown Rockville?" |

|  |

|The answer is: God Willing, YES! |

|  |

|On Friday, August 31 at 7 pm in the gorgeous, historic 1889 Union Church sanctuary which architecturally looks like it could be located in Ireland, where |

|Robin is from (Belfast). If you need directions, using GPS or Mapquest use "3 Elm Street, Vernon CT 06066" as your destination.   |

| |

|The next question I am getting is this: |

| |

|"Is Robin Mark's event in Rockville really FREE? |

|  |

|The answer is: YES!  |

|  |

|No tickets are being sold. The 600 seats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Doors will open at 6 pm, with the community-wide worship |

|service beginning at 7 pm. |

| |

|Like JesusFest events since 2002, we could reasonably charge admission. But since the beginning, we have preferred to be like the early saints in Matthew |

|10:8 when Jesus told them, "freely have ye received, freely give." We are continuing to walk by faith and not by sight. |

| |

|We will be taking a freewill offering. Between the offering, sponsors and display fees, we are trusting God to raise up the money to pay for this event. |

|Over the years, every bill has been paid, on-time. |

|  |

|The next question I'm hearing is this: |

| |

|"Does Robin need local backup musicians?  |

|  |

|The answer is: NO.  |

|  |

|I deliberately booked Robin as a solo acoustic artist leading the worship service. |

| |

|So, please mark your calendar and join us for this COMMUNITY-WIDE WORSHIP SERVICE. During the service, Robin will introduce some of his newest compositions|

|about the life of John Wesley, the famous evangelist and founder of the Methodist Church.   |

| |

|* Dress will be casual. |

|* The facility is handicapped-accessible. |

|* There is plenty of parking in adjacent lots and on local streets. |

|* Robin will have a CD/merchandise table. |

|* The simple Gospel will be preached and a call to action will be given.  |

| |

|A limited amount of display space in the adjacent chapel is still available to qualified organizations who desire to showcase their |

|ministries to participants. Come and let's celebrate our Risen Savior in Spirit and in Truth without the denominational labels and walls! |

| |

|Joyfully yours, |

|   |

|Drew |

|The Christian Singles Hikers are announcing our schedule for 2012, which is our sixteenth year of enjoying outdoor events together.  Thanks to everybody |

|who agreed to lead an event!  Come join us to share the nice weather, the beauty of the outdoors, and some great fellowship.  Please mark these down on |

|your calendar and come with us for some of our events: |

| |

|August* - Mott's Mystery March???  We will find out in July where Mott will lead this hike.  It will be a moderate hike with a meal together afterwards.  |

|Will it be a forgotten favorite or a new hike?  Either way, it will be one that we have not been to recently (if ever), so you will want to go. |

|August * - Peterborough, NH. Hiking Pack Monadnock at Miller State Park in New Hampshire is a forgotten favorite of this group.  From the top of "little |

|Monadnock," and North Pack Monadnock there are great views in many directions, including of Mt. Monadnock to the west. It is a great hike and much easier |

|than going up its namesake. |

|September * - Blue Hills, MA. This large green oasis near Boston makes one forget how close the city is.  There a wide variety of plant and animal life |

|here, so come enjoy the beauty that God created. |

|October * - Alander Mountain, MA and NY.  Come see the fall colors in the Berkshires.  Last year's hike here was one of the most beautiful this group has |

|ever gone on, so we want to do it again.  This hike will be one of our most rigorous of the year, but the breathtaking views and seeing Bash-Bish Falls |

|will make it well worth the effort. |

|November 3 - Mashamoquet Brook State Park (Wolf Den), CT.  Come enjoy a brisk late fall hike and a lunch together afterwards.  The park is also called Wolf|

|Den because we will see the den where the state's last wild wolf lived.  When we have gone here in the past, we have had large turnouts; come join us this |

|time. |

| |

|To find out more about our group, contact Mott at mottlinn@ or 781-320-0663.  For those on our email list, we will send the details about an |

|event approximately one week before it is scheduled to take place.  We look forward to seeing you at these events! |
