The Love INC Annual Business Meeting will be held on Thursday, October 8, at 7 AM, at Christ the King Lutheran Church on Durston in Bozeman.
The business meeting, per Love INC by-laws, is held annually to update all partner churches about Love INC's financial condition, ministry activities and long-term plans. Importantly, the nominees for the Board of Directors will be voted upon by church partners' representatives at the meeting.
As Love INC ministry leaders, Love INC Church Ministry Coordinators from each partner church will attend the meeting or send a representative in their place. Partner church pastors are warmly encouraged to come, meet the Board of Directors, and visit with staff and volunteers. Any interested party is welcome to attend.
A light breakfast will be served. Christ the King Lutheran Church is located at 4383 Durston Road, across the street from Heritage Christian School.

Hope for Kids in Need
As the calls to the Clearinghouse multiply, a common theme continues to be the absence of God in many clients' lives. Although we give people who request it a booklet of the Gospel of John, together we all need to communicate better the hope of Christ and how God can change lives.
Additionally, Love INC serves many single parents who mention that their kids ask questions about God but they don’t have answers. We recently discovered a children’s DVD series of Bible stories that proved to be just what we were looking for. We decided to approach the publisher to seek a discount on a large volume order. They were interested. Additionally, they sent us a sample: a combination young child's Bible (book) and DVD set. Parents can read the Bible to their children, and be touched by its message themselves; together parent and child can watch the DVD. (If you are wondering, yes, most needy families do have DVD players while they lack other necessities). The publisher offered the Bible and DVD for a lower price than what the DVD alone initially would have cost.
We hope that Love INC will be able to offer this wonderful message to families, delivered by Christian volunteers from partner churches. For this to happen, once or twice a year, churches or individuals who have a heart for this ministry, would contribute to help pay for an order that would last through the year.
We estimate that if just (!) 6 to 12 churches or individuals contribute $50 per quarter, together we can place this attractive Bible and DVD in the hands of families who are asking for it. That would be enough to meet the demand of the one to two weekly requests we receive from families with children who tell us they want to know more about God.
If you can help, please send a donation to Love INC, PO Box 7117, Bozeman, MT 59771 Mark on your check: Bibles/DVD. It will only take 6 people (or churches), who give 4 times per year, to touch local families who are in need and who want to hear of God. If you (or your church) want to be involved in delivering these items, and meeting these clients, please call us. Thank you!

CMC Meeting Reminder
Church Ministry Coordinators will meet for their semi-annual, on-going training on Sept. 10, 2009, at the Love INC office (upstairs meeting room). CMC's meet at least twice a year as a group to receive news and updates, and guidance on how to accomplish their ministry tasks in light of new developments.
Two training sessions are offered: noon and 6:00 p.m. This training is not a repeat of anything CMC's have received before. Semi-annual training is required for all Love INC Church Ministry Coordinators (even well-experienced ones).
Many exciting developments are occurring at Love INC! At this meeting, CMC's will learn how to best involve their respective churches, and how to share these great ministry opportunties.
