Back to School Bash at Big E

Sign up on the children’s activity board.

The Nominating Committee will meet in the parlor this morning following the worship service.

We need churns of homemade ice cream for tonight! Join us for this summertime treat!

We are rapidly approaching one of the most important events of our church year. Our Deacon election will take place on Sunday, August 13, at  11:00 am. You will be given an official ballot as you come into worship service that morning. You can write up to three names that you wish to serve on the Deaconship for the next three years. These ballots will then be counted and those elected will be announced as soon as they agree to serve. Please begin to pray about God’s leadership in this very important action. I want to remind you of some necessary qualifications for nomination to the Deaconship. He must be a church member in good standing. This means that he must be faithful in attendance to the services. He must be supportive in his giving to the support of the church. He is to have biblical standards in his family life. He is to be one who promotes his church in both his words and positive attitude. He is to have a good reputation, both in and out of the church. Above all, he is to love the Lord and the Lord’s work. Finally, please do not vote for a staff member. It would not be appropriate for a staff member to serve as a Deacon.

The AM sermon topic is “What Have We Lost?” – Luke 15:8-10. And the church wide Finger Food Fellowship will be at 5:00 pm.

Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.

George Herbert

A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; see your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities.

William Arthur Ward

Please note the secretary  will be out of the office July 17 – 21. If you have an important message, please call voice mail and someone will return your call as soon as possible. Thank you!

Join us for a time of prayer on Monday, July 17, at 8:00 am in the fellowship hall.

Save the date for the community wide worship at Chapman High School on Sunday, August 27, at  6:00 pm. It will be the combined choirs of Holston Creek Baptist and Inman Mills Baptist Churches. You will  be blessed by this presentation!
