Dear Beyond Today Subscriber:

As a reader of the Beyond Today magazine, published by the United Church of God, you may have wondered if the Church has local congregations. The answer is yes. Every week we discuss the same kinds of topics presented in the Beyond Today TV broadcast and magazine. As pastor of the Greater Cleveland congregation, I would like to invite you to a special seminar on November 9th exclusively for Beyond Today magazine readers and their friends in greater Cleveland, Ohio titled “When Heaven Comes to Earth.”

A Key to Human Survival

The Kingdom of God was the central theme of Jesus’ ministry. Our world today is filled with thousands of forms of organized Christianity that teach about Jesus—but often don’t teach the powerful and inspiring message that Jesus shared with His believers. Jesus Christ’s original message of the future Kingdom of God (found in over 100 places in the New Testament) is largely unrecognized by Christianity today—even though this message holds the very key to human survival.

Not everyone who says, “Lord, Lord,” will enter into His Kingdom (Mathew 7:21). Jesus taught His disciples the key signs about His return and how to prepare for His Kingdom! As a reader of the Beyond Today magazine you have read of the prophesied troubling times ahead for our nation and the world. But, as you have also read, there is good news of a Kingdom yet to come!

You Are Invited

We want to tell you more about that Kingdom and give you the inspired good news Jesus preached to his disciples. You are invited to this special Kingdom of God Bible Seminar, which is coming to Grafton, Ohio, on Saturday, November 9th at 11AM. Again, the topic will be “When Heaven Comes to Earth.” This is the theme of our present September-October issue of the Beyond Today Magazine. In a world engulfed in chaos, confusion and discouragement we want to encourage you with a sure message of hope and strength. God is planning an incredible future ahead for you and I want to share that plan with you personally during this seminar.

Jesus instructed us to: “Seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33). As a Beyond Today subscriber, you and your family and friends are invited to join us for this special presentation. We will help you unlock your understanding of the coming Kingdom of God as never before. During the past few years, these seminars have been held in over 180 cities across the United States and many other countries around the world. The seminar nearest you is being held at the United Church of God building, 12981 Grafton Rd, Grafton, Ohio at 11AM-12:30PM.

What Can You Expect?

By attending you will discover what the Kingdom means to your own personal salvation. The seminar will help you understand the key signs Jesus gave His disciples about His return and how the Kingdom of God will soon be established on earth. You will also discover not only how you can enter the Kingdom of God but vital ways you can develop a deeper, more meaningful relationship with your Creator now. And, finally, you will learn important ways to live a positive, happy life even in the midst of the problems and challenges you face.

After the seminar you are invited to join us for light snacks and beverages. As a free gift we would like to give you a special book marker that outlines God’s plan of salvation. We also want to give you a free copy of our popular booklet, “Christ’s Reign on Earth: What It Will Be Like”. It is simply our way of saying “thank you” for being our guest and attending the Seminar.

No collection or request for money will be made at this seminar! It is our honor to serve you. If you lack transportation, we may be able to have someone bring you to this event and take you home. But be sure to RSVP early, and let us know if you need transportation.

You can RSVP on our phone voicemail, or by email. Simply let us know your name and how many will be attending. You can RSVP at 330-723-1973 or by email to ucgcleveland@yahoo.com  If you need transportation, let us know that too.

We are looking forward to meeting you and sharing with you the same motivational message Jesus Christ shared with his disciples almost 2,000 years ago. I have been in the ministry of Jesus Christ for 40 years. I have seen this message literally change thousands of people’s lives adding greater joy, fulfillment and purpose to their existence. This same powerful message can also change yours!

Yours in Christ’s Service,

Greg Thomas, Pastor
United Church of God, Greater Cleveland
