A Note From OUR Pastor
Bruce G. Chesser
It was a different week with Fall Break! Most of our Sumner County schools are still out for the day tomorrow, but I am hopeful that most of our folks are back and ready for the week ahead.
This Wednesday offers us a great opportunity, as Dr. Paul Chitwood will be here to speak at a special worship service for all ages in the Worship Center. Dr. Chitwood is the President of the International Mission Board (IMB). This year, we are honored to have had both the President of the IMB (Dr. Chitwood) and the President of the North American Mission Board (Dr. Kevin Ezell) speak in our church. I hope to see you on Wednesday.
Don’t forget that next Sunday, October 18, is our annual church picnic. It’s here on campus with rides for the kids, food, music, a car show, and fun for everyone. Don’t miss it. It is always a highlight of the year.
Today, we will study Matthew 9:1-8. It is a passage that reminds us of the importance of faith. Hebrews 6 tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God. My prayer is that our faith would be strengthened today!
Thank you for being here!

Sunday Connect
From Senior Associate Pastor, Bruce RaleY
We will have a special focus on missions this Wednesday evening. There will be a number of booths set up around the Worship Center lobby to highlight our various mission partnerships. It will be a great opportunity to learn more, ask questions, and engage with those partners.
At 6:30 pm, kids, preteens, students, and adults will gather in the Worship Center. We will worship together in music and then hear from our special guest, Dr. Paul Chitwood. Dr. Chitwood is the president of the SBC International Mission Board. He leads the organization that sends over 3,600 missionaries around the world. Some of those are from our church.
We certainly focus on taking the gospel to our own neighbors in Sumner County, but also deeply desire to see all the nations reached. Don’t miss this special evening.
It is a joy to serve you.
