Good Morning,
It was a blessing to have
Don Pierson with us in the services yesterday.
I appreciate his passion and intensity as he shares the scriptures. I also appreciate his leading our session in
the afternoon on Connection Groups. I am
convinced that these groups are a major key in reaching into the lives of lost
people with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
May the Lord lead many of us to reach out to those around us and tell
them the stories of Jesus. This week,
allow God’s Holy Spirit to identify a person or group you with whom you can share. Look for the “Nicodemus” and “Woman at the
Well” in your daily journey.
This is an exciting week
of missions as we prepare for the Parent’s Night Out at the Tennessee Baptist
Children’s Home this Friday, February 8.
We will meet at the church parking lot at 4:30 PM and leave by 4:45
PM. There are several crafts, games, and
activities we will be doing with the children.
We will also serve them dinner and have a time of devotional around the
theme of love. Thanks to all those who
have made the preparations for this great evening of service.
I also want to thank the
adult Sunday School classes for the donations which have gone toward restaurant
gift cards for the house parents at the TBC Children’s Home. We will give them
to the parents this Friday.
The “Baby Bottle” offering
received for the Pregnancy Help Center is now over $1,200. If you still have your baby bottle, fill it
and bring it with you to church. The
Center will be blessed to receive your special offering.
Pray for the Personnel
Committee this week as they meet on Wednesday at 5:30 PM and continue the
search process for our Minister to Youth.
The committee has made great progress and needs your prayers
undergirding their discussions and decisions.
May the Lord lead us to His man who will share the vision of reaching
and making disciples of the students of our community. We had a great attendance of students
yesterday in the services and I thank the Lord for the opportunity we have to
impact their lives.
Have a blessed week as you
serve the Lord,
Bro. Tim
