A NOTE FROM OUR PASTOR
Bruce G. Chesser
We have now officially entered into the fall season. This past week felt more like summer than fall, but the weather will change soon, and fall will be in the air. I love this season. Thank you for remaining faithful to the Lord and His church. You are such a blessing to me.
Don’t forget to register for the church picnic that will be coming up on October 16th. There is no cost, but we need to know how many will come from your family. You will receive a wristband that will identify you as having registered for the bbq meal. It is going to be fun for all ages. The picnic will be from 3:00 until 6:00 p.m. at Sanders Ferry Park in Hendersonville. Don’t miss it!
This morning we will pick up our study with Luke 4:31-44. In this passage, it becomes clear that Jesus speaks and lives with authority. It’s a great passage.
If you are new to our church or just visiting for the day, please stop and allow me to say hello to you. I’ll be in the main lobby underneath the sign that says, “Meet the Pastor.” I have a gift that I’d love to give to you.

CONNECTING EVERY GENERATION, TO GOD, OTHERS & SERVICE
SUNDAY CONNECT
with Senior Associate Pastor, Bruce Raley
The Lord led our church to start a food bank for Sumner County early in 2022. The previous food bank was closing, yet the need was still present…and growing.
It has been amazing to see how the Lord has opened door after door. Because of our obedience, hundreds of people are provided food each month. The Gospel is also being shared with each food gift.
One early question was where the Food Bank would be located. A warehouse in Gallatin was made available and has been the perfect location and facility. We made the purchase in June, with an initial down-payment. Now we need to pay off this building.
Over the next months, we need to raise $1,800,000. We will have a special giving emphasis called “EVERYONE CAN” throughout the remainder of 2022. This facility can be paid off quickly if each of us makes a sacrificial gift. You will be hearing more about this in the coming days. A special offering envelope will soon be available.
The first step is prayer. Please pray about your part in “EVERYONE CAN.”
Pastor Bruce Raley
