Williams County, OH - A weekend in September affirmed some principles concerning renewal.

1. Churches can cooperate.  Three local churches (Bryan, Montpelier, and Pioneer, OH Nazarene) came together.  Their joining efforts for 3 days were for the purpose of experiencing the person, understanding the principles, and reflecting on the pattern of Christ.  Seeking Him, there is reviving of the purpose of Christ being fulfilled.
2. A variety of types of gatherings are necessary.  Different opportunities to hear biblical principles is appealing to 21^st century people.  A Praise Gathering, a Breakout Session for women (led by Mandy Litzke) and a Breakout Session for men (led by 4-time NCAA football champion, Nick Cook), teaching for all ages, and Christ-centered worship music provided something for many.  A variety of events that point to the One Lord-an approach for today’s world.
3. The Holy Spirit moves and lives are changed when people congregate in order to get to know Christ intimately.
