Living Logos at Foursquare Church
On Sunday evening, October 11 Rod and Jennifer Carlson of Living Logos ministries will give a dramatic presentation of a Bible Book. "Listening to Rod present the scripture as it was written in letter form takes you right back to the first century." states Foursquare Pastor Terry Plotz. "We're not sure if Peter or Paul or Timothy will appear," Plotz continued, "but I am sure everyone will see the Bible in a new light."
Living Logos travels all over the United States, Canada, and most recently in Europe giving Bible presentations strictly from memory. Carlson and his wife Jennifer dress the part and give convincing performances mixed with a small amount of explanation as to the cultural and interpretative understanding of the scripture. They love to teach people how to memorize scripture and put it to work in everyday life.
The service will start at 6:30 PM with a soup/salad/desert potluck at 5:30. The Foursquare Church is located at 2900 Frontage Rd. in Reedsport. Anyone having questions can contact Pastor Terry Plotz at the church office, 271-4414.
