SUNDAY WORSHIP
Aug 31 @ 10a
This Sunday we take a break from our worship series and focus on prayer. The dictionary defines prayer as “a solemn request for help from God”. And although that is part of prayer, praying is so much more than that. We will let the acronym P.R.A.Y. guide our time together as we worship through prayer.

MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES
  • Greenhouse Ministries Warehouse Refresh – Aug 30, 9a-12p. They need 200+ volunteers to rearrange the warehouse located at 307 S Academy St. Bring your work gloves and be prepared to sweat. I will not be able to be there due to a funeral.
  • BCM Pop Tarts – We are collecting lots and lots of Pop Tarts to donate to the MTSU BCM. They use them in witnessing conversations with students on campus. Kroger has them on sale for $2.99 for an 8-pack.
  • BCM Lunch: Sep 17, 11a-1p – Cindi Posey is heading this up, but we need your help to set up, serve, interact with the students/staff and clean up. Sign up at the Welcome Center to volunteer to help.

CALLED BUSINESS MEETING
Sep 7, following the worship time
A business meeting is scheduled for September 7, following the worship time, to elect the 2025-2026 Deacon Body. The agenda will focus solely on the motion to accept the following individuals as Deacons for the 2025-26 Church Calendar Year: David Hudson, Russ Hudson, Don Lance, Tim Musselman, Jerry Posey, Terry Robbins, Daniel Williams, and Gary Young. If Daniel Williams is approved as a Deacon, he will require ordination, and an ordination service will be arranged.

PRAISE & HYMN SING WITH A DESSERT SOCIAL
9/14, 4p
Come and enjoy an evening of worship through song. Featuring Chord of Three, Reunion and others. Afterward, we’ll have a dessert social. Invite your family, friends, co-workers, neighbors and complete strangers to join you. The price of admission is at least one pack of PopTarts for our BCM ministry.
