Rare Bible & Ancient Artifact Display

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Dear Friends and Families of Shepherd's Fold Baptist Church,

 

The pictures are to announce the upcoming opportunity to see Dr. David Brown's Rare Bible and ancient artifacts display (see list below)

 

The dates will be January 15th at 9:30 AM, 10:45 AM, and 6 PM.

 

Also, Dr. Brown will have the display available for the Midwest Independent Pastor's Fellowship Planning Counsel meeting on January 16th beginning at 1PM.

 This will be open only for the Pastor's attending (all pastors are invited).  

 

Dr. Brown has been a personal friend for over 20 years.  He has generously agreed to bring his display as a favor to me.

 

I cannot overemphasize how rare an opportunity this is.

 

This collection is valued in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

 

Many of the items are so rare only a few museums have one or two of them available.

 

Many of the items spend most of their existence locked up in vaults.

 

I trust you will use this opportunity to invite many to the three services where these artifacts will be on display.  Pastors attending the Midwest Independent Baptist Pastors' Fellowship planning meeting may bring as many guest pastors with them as they like.  

 

PASTORS-PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WILL BE ATTENDING AND HOW MANY YOU WILL BE BRINGING WITH YOU!

 

Feel free to forward this to others as the Lord leads.

 

Your servant in Christ's service,

Pastor Ketchum
