I’m going to be preaching this Sunday (November 25), and I’m very excited about the message God has given me!   We are going to look at Hebrews 10:32-39 in a message called Don’t Shrink Back!  

This message will encourage you in your walk with Christ.  If you have family in town, bring them to one of our services!

Our services our at 9:00 a.m. and 10:45 a.m., with children’s ministry in both services.

Let’s have a great Sunday of worship together!

 

We all say we want unity, now here is your chance!

Join me this Monday (November 19) at 7:00 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church for a city-wide Thanksgiving service!

I am so excited about this Sunday!  Several months ago, I asked my wife Beth to preach on Thanksgiving Sunday because I think she is the perfect speaker to prepare our hearts for this special week.   If you haven’t heard Beth speak, she is a delight to listen to!

She is going to share a message titled The Art of Thankfulness.

I’m also looking forward to our friends Andrew & Hannah leading us in worship!   Andrew and Hannah Brown are a married couple who have led worship many places around the nation.   You’ll enjoy joining them in songs of thanksgiving to our God!

It’s just going to be a delightful day, so make every effort to come!

This Saturday (November 17) we will give out 140 turkeys & bags of groceries to give friends in our community a boost this Thanksgiving.  We will set up at the Goodwill parking lot in Hendersonville (on New Shackle Road).

8:00 a.m. – Volunteer check-in
9:00 a.m. – The give-away starts (its first come, first serve)

Our prayer partners will be serving through gentle, but caring prayer.  Please pray with me that our friends will be touched not just by the food, but by the presence of our living God!

There will be a Business Meeting for members of CIL after our Wednesday night service on December 5th at 7:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary.  At this time the body will ratify the candidates that the Leadership Board has approved as new Leadership Board members.

Our first “Trunk or Treat” went great Wednesday night!

The cars were decorated great, the kids looked adorable and everyone enjoyed having a safe, wholesome environment for Halloween.

And the candy!  There was a bunch.  The dentist in this city have no worries about lack of business!  It was great to experience “Christians community” with our church family.
