When?
Sunday evening, March 27, at 6:00 p.m. in the Family Life Center.
 
For What?
We are loading buckets of essential items to be sent to those fleeing from the war in Ukraine.
 
Healing Hands International has provided us with a list of essential items that will fill a 5 gallon bucket. Healing Hands will deliver the buckets to the people of Ukraine. We need to fill the buckets on Sunday, March 27, and transport them in our bus to Nashville on Monday, March 28.
 
Lowes has generously agreed to sell us 150 buckets with lids at a greatly reduced price.
 
Don & Joyce Bowen, Heidi Boggs, Robin Harper, Luann Spivey, Rachel Steed, and Missy Wright have been generously shopping for us in order to obtain all the items needed to fill 150 buckets. We thank them for their efforts.
 
Your generous contributions have allowed us to be able to pay for all of the items and buckets being sent to Ukraine. That in addition to all of the money we have already sent to help provide food and shelter for those fleeing from Ukraine.
 
We realize that March 27, will be the beginning of Spring Break and many of our members will be out of town. Therefore, we need as many as are able and available to help us with this good effort for the people of Ukraine. Invite your friends to join us if they would like to help.

Heart of the Gospel

The heart of the gospel is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. Paul expresses it in this manner: 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that...

Eclipse

An eclipse is an exciting thing. It was evident Monday at about 2:00 p.m. when I was driving back to the office from making some visits. The traffic was minimal. I even saw several vehicles pulling off the road to catch a glimpse of the moon covering the sun. I even...

The Same Story

Frank Wampol did an outstanding job on Sunday morning directing our hearts toward a better understanding of the emotional and physical agony that Jesus experienced during his crucifixion and the time leading up to it. Before Sunday, I knew that Frank was going to...

You’re Kidding

We were in Pigeon Forge with some of Jane’s family. While there, we visited the replica museum for the Titanic. A very interesting exhibit. We were at the bottom of the replica of the grand staircase listening to the guide explain the rich details of this beautiful...

Theme Verse

You will bring them in and plant them on your own mountain, the place, O LORD, which you have made for your abode, the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established. (Exodus 15:17 ESV) This is the theme verse for this year’s Leadership Training For Christ...

Changing Seasons

I need spring to come and winter to end. Honestly, this has been a constant thought in my mind since mid-January following a series of unfortunate events: a trip to the ER, an ablation scheduled, missing a conference due to heart issues, waiting for the ablation,...

Jacob and Esau

I’m sure you remember the story of Jacob and Esau. But if the following brief summary is not familiar to you, read the whole story beginning in Genesis 25:19. 24 When her days to give birth were completed, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25 The first came out...

I Voted

I voted today. I took advantage of the right given to me as a citizen of this country to cast my vote for those who will lead our nation, state and county. I was even given a sticker to declare to others that I had voted.   It was only one vote, but it was my...

My Thoughts

My thoughts are mine! Aren’t they? One of Jane’s favorite expressions is, “I knew you were going to say that.” She loves to make me think she knows everything I’m thinking or that I’m going to say. I have to admit, she gets pretty close. But she’s not always right....

Our Comforter

Kimberly and I adopted our first dog together in 2013. She was a husky/German shepherd mix named Chloe. She was a big dog with a very loud bark. When I served in youth ministry, I often traveled out of town overnight. Kimberly traveled with me on occasion, but when...
