WMU Corner
We appreciate Joe Lewis and
Robbie Jackson for organizing the Manor House Birthday Party in July, and for
all who assisted. There were four residents with birthdays in July and gifts
were presented to them. Cake, ice cream and punch was served to everyone. The
ladies who helped with the party were Levea Barrett, Sharon Camp-bell, Jane
Threatt, Peggy Makarski, Robbie Jackson, Carla Wallace, Judy Cherry, Jo Lewis
and Lynda Hicklen. Levea, Peggy, and Robbie are pictured above with two of the
Manor House residents enjoying their refreshments.
A big thank you to our church
family for helping our students in Stewart Co. Schools by providing school
sup-plies through "Christmas in August." These supplies are being
delivered each week to the schools, so contributions are still welcomed and
needed. Our compliments to the G.A.s, and leader Pamela Vance, for preparing
posters, lists of supplies, and boxes for this ministry.
Your
generosity in providing coats for our "Give-A-Coat" ministry has been
overwhelming! At this time we have received approximately 400 coats for this
event which means no further donations are necessary. The final coats will be
cleaned and mended this week, thanks to volunteer Jo Lewis. Our next task will
be to organize by sizes and attach to each coat a card bearing FBC information.
A gospel tract explaining God’s plan of salvation will also be placed into a
pocket on each coat. Thanks to Bro. George for giving us that wonderful
suggestion for sharing God’s love. Also, Darrell Cook has been terrific to
provide the racks for hanging the coats. Pictured below: coats, coats, coats!
Please mark your calendars for
Saturday, October 23th (rain date: Oct. 30th) for our "Give-A-Coat"
Ministry.
Rhonda is preparing flyers to
let our community know about this ministry. Sign up sheets will be distributed
through Sun-day School in October to ask for your assistance with this outreach
project. We so look forward to helping our community prepare for the cold
weather during the coming winter months.
The "Week of Prayer for
Golden State Missions" will be ob-served September 12-19. Our church goal
is $1,000.00. Please remember to give to this offering which is used throughout
our state of Tennessee.
Coming Up: We
will once again prepare to fill and send shoeboxes to children throughout the
world. The shoeboxes will be collected by the first of November. You will be
receiving more information about this ministry in the near future.
It is with deepest appreciation
that we express our thanks to you for continuing to support each endeavor
through prayer and giving. May God bless you as you have blessed others through
WMU sponsored events and activities. Together we are making a difference in our
community, our state, and around the world.

Watchword for 2010
“Love
the Lord your God with all your heart,
soul, and mind. This is the first
and greatest
commandment. And the second is like
it:
love your neighbor as yourself.”
Matthew
22:37-39
"Lord,
make me a reflection of You."
