A NOTE FROM OUR PASTOR
Bruce G. Chesser
It does not feel like fall, but the events around us suggest that we have moved into a new season. Schools are in session. I have seen the football teams practicing and heard the marching bands getting ready for the upcoming season. With the beginning of school comes an exciting time of the year for our church.
We will have our annual lake baptism service in Old Hickory Lake in just a few weeks! Many have already told us of their desire and intent to be baptized that day. If you have never followed the Lord in believer’s baptism, this would be an excellent opportunity for you to do so. Call Cindy Hodges at (615) 447-1336 and tell her that you want to be baptized that day!
By the way, our annual Fall Picnic has been scheduled for October 16th. Go ahead and put that date on your calendar and plan to spend the afternoon with our church family. It is going to be a lot of fun!
This morning we will look at one of the most loved passages of Scripture in all of the Bible. Luke 2:1-20 is the account of the birth of Jesus. While we are months away from the Christmas season, today we will remind ourselves of God’s great gift to us when He sent His Son into the world.
Thank you for being here today! And, Merry Christmas!
Bruce Chesser
CONNECTING EVERY GENERATION, TO GOD, OTHERS & SERVICE
SUNDAY CONNECT
with Senior Associate Pastor, Bruce Raley
Our hearts are broken as we continue to hear of the devastation by the floods to our northern neighbors in Kentucky. The loss of dozens of lives, plus the realization of people’s dreams washed away, impacts all of us.
Three pastors from this region attended a pastor’s training we hosted last May. In communication with these pastors, we learned that all three of their churches are staging areas for disaster relief. When asked about their immediate needs, all responded with the need for finances. People need money to buy fuel for generators, as well as purchase basic necessities of life.
In consultation with the church stewardship team, we have already sent funds to each of these churches for distribution to needy families. As a church, we have always been generous to those in need.
If you would like to make a contribution, you can do so by indicating on your gift, “Kentucky Relief”. You can also make a gift online at the church app or website by indicating “Kentucky Relief” on the MEMO drop-down.
Thank you for your generosity.
It is a joy to serve you,
Pastor Bruce Raley
