SUNDAY WORSHIP
Oct 5 @ 10a
On Sunday, we begin a new worship series called Words of Wisdom where we will be looking at various passages from the book of Proverbs. There are a lot of smart people in our world, but sometimes smart people aren’t wise. Before anything else makes sense in life, you must first have a holy reverence for God. To fear Him is to properly see your position before Him, and His position before you. When we live our lives without the awe and wonder of God, we run the risk of making everything harder than it should be. A successful life means Beginning with Wisdom.

WORSHIP @ THE RUTHERFORD
Oct 5 @ 2p
This is an opportunity to brighten the day of the residents at The Rutherford Assisted Living. You can sing a song, lead a devotion, lead a craft, serve a snack, sit and talk, and more. See Gary Young to volunteer or to get more details.

MEMBER LUNCHEON & ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING
Oct 12 @ 11:30a
Lunch will be provided (donations will be accepted). After lunch we will have our annual Business Meeting.

JOY CLUB
Oct 15 @ 11:30a
Calling all senior adults (whether you feel like it or not), to come together for a time of food and fellowship. Bring sides and dessert to share.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY
This is an amazing church. I am constantly asking you to provide something, give money or support a ministry. As a church and as Christians, we are to be generous, and you demonstrate that year after year.

  • The youth group took 3, 518 POPtarts to the MTSU BCM last night. We prayed over the POPtarts and the students that will use them as a witnessing tool to the campus. We prayed that students would come to know Jesus as Savior and Lord because of this effort.
  • This past Sunday, as we celebrated the 10th anniversary of our Hispanic Ministry, we took up a love offering for Pastor Arturo in the amount of $1,157.

Again, thank you for your faithful generosity.
