You can access the Tysons bulletin at mcleanbible.org/locations/tysons/mbc-tysons-weekly-bulletins, usually on Friday mornings.
- The new fall format Tysons bulletin has two parts
- Outer bifold, 'From My Heart to Yours'
- (last week and this week, online, although Lon isn't preaching
- and last week's printed bulletins said "Welcome" on the cover)
- with interior headings
- Welcome, About Us, It's All About Jesus, Where We Meet
- apparently for us to distribute, and replacing the first page of the old bulletin
- the same each week
- Inner trifold with a narrow response and prayer request tear-off card
- And with the same headings otherwise as the rest of the old bulletin
- The display ads are scattered all through
Our upcoming Parables series is again in the bulletin, unfortunately without the dates

F&F Program
12:30 pm in Room 3200
The Parables of Christ
The Good Samaritan
Luke 10:25-37
Our own Paul Dorosh is teaching this most of this eleven-week series, as described above in the schedule section.
Here's the text:
- On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
- "What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?"
- He answered: "‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ ;and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’"
- "You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live."
- But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
- In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
- "Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"
- The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him."
- Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."
I'll post the handout, when available, at
