Join the Fall 2010 Campaign

and Get Your Teaching DVD for free!

Deadlines:

To complete your Course before Thanksgiving,

you'll need to start on the week of September 19-25

The deadline for placing orders for

the Fall 2010 Campaign is Friday, August 6

Here's What You Need to Do:

First, order the number of books you’ll need for the course at Lulu.  The books cost $12.87 plus shipping.  There is a discount for bulk orders.  REMEMBER: The deadline for placing orders for the Fall 2010 Campaign is Friday, August 6, 2010.

Second, let me know you've ordered the books for the Fall Campaign and I will send you the teaching DVD for FREE.  This DVD includes nine 15-minute talks, the discussion guides, and your leader's guide.  Contact me at tom@anchorcourse.org or 512-497-5238. This free offer is limited to those in the U.S. and Canada who place their book order by Friday, August 6, 2010.

Third, set aside the best evening at your church for the Course one night a week for nine weeks.  REMEMBER: To complete your Course before Thanksgiving, you'll need to start on the week of September 19-25. I run my course on Wednesday evenings since our church hosts a midweek meal on that night.  For those nine weeks, I have someone else handle the midweek service, and I join the Anchor Course participants for the meal, the lesson, and the discussion.  I recommend you begin your Course every week with a meal or at least a social time around snacks.

Fourth, promote the Course at your church.  Don’t just depend on advertising, however.  Make some personal invitations to seekers and new believers that you know.  Also, I’ve found it useful to contact believers who do a good job at building relationships with seekers and encourage them to bring their seeking friends to the Course.

Fifth, the first night of your nine-week Course is simply a “get acquainted night.”  It’s a chance for prospective participants to meet you and learn about the course.  At my church, we have what we call a “Get Anchored” Dinner on this first night, and I recommend this.  Your copy of the DVD will have a “Get Anchored” talk that I provide for the first “get acquainted” night.  Those who decide to enroll should be given their book on this first night, and they should be instructed to read Part One by the next week’s meeting.  

You can "test drive" a sample of the Anchor Course before you decide.
