Dear Pastor;
 
Mountain Lake Independent Baptist Church is hosting our Annual Sword of the Lord Conference, September 28-29, 2015.  Our speakers for this year's conference are Dr. Shelton Smith, editor of the Sword of the Lord, and Dr. Jon Jenkins, Pastor of Grace Baptist Church and founder of Grace Baptist College, Gaylord, MI. Dr. Sterling Walsh, Jr. will be providing and leading the music throughout the conference. God is using these men to impact our churches and nation with the Gospel.
 
We’ve added a very special feature this year during the Tuesday noon meal – a “Legal Luncheon” with Attorney Terry Hamilton with Lighthouse Legal Ministries out of Ohio. With the major changes taking place in our society and with a very real “anti-Christian” spirit developing, it is important that our churches be prepared to deal with today’s issues in a thoroughly Biblical and legal manner. Brother Hamilton can help and will present ideas and things we can do to enable us to avoid legal problems in the coming days.
 
Bring your family and staff member and make this more than just a meeting, make it a time to get away and refresh and recharge.  The mountains of Garrett County this time of year are absolutely gorgeous!  Swallow Falls (the highest waterfall in MD) are right close by and Blackwater Falls is just a short drive away.
 
All meals during the conference will be provided beginning Monday evening with an after service fellowship with lots of good food.  Tuesday morning begins with a continental breakfast at 9:00 a.m., the “Legal Luncheon at noon, soup and sandwiches before the evening service and then another fellowship after the Tuesday evening service.  Reasonable motels rates are available. 
 
Tuesday Evening we will be enjoying a combined choir under the leadership of Dr. Sterling Walsh, Jr.  Please bring your music people as they will enjoy the fellowship and opportunity to be a part of this great evening.
 
The conference begins Monday evening at 7:00 p.m., continues Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.  Please plan on joining us for the Pastor's Legal Luncheon on Tuesday at noon!
 
If you have any questions or need more information, please call me at 301-334-3234.  I am looking forward to seeing you.  May the Lord richly bless you and your ministry!
 
Sincerely, your friend, Dennis Leatherman, Pastor
