What else can we expect?
In addition to a great 8-page CD insert designed by our very own illustrious design department of disciples, How about a slideshow with over 800 photos depicting who and where we've been for the past 25 years made up of your photos and featuring more original music! If that's not enough, try a 63 minute sermon by Roger Lamb - the highly sought out message entitled "Speed His Coming" from the 1988 North American Evangelism Seminar entitled the same. Still not convinced? We're putting in early church bulletins from Chicago as well as the Lexington Church of Christ announcing the planting of the Chicago Church.

This is truly a great collector's item - in addition to being a great inspiration!
