Hey Team,

 

I hope all of you are doing well and that you are enjoying Fall Break whether you are at home, on vacation, or even if it doesn't affect you at all.  We are in North Carolina visiting with Eva's family and friends. 

 

We will continue our Song of Solomon study this Sunday with Intimacy -- Part II.  Eva thinks we should probably divide up into "men" and "women" for discussion, and I agree with her although I'm not sure how much more we can get out of our guys.  Hang with me, men!

 

We look forward to seeing everybody on Sunday.

 

Press on.

Dear Friends,

Betty Ferrell has recently had knee surgery.  I spoke with her Wednesday night about providing meals to the family.  I am coordinating the list (see the attachment).  Please email this to your Sunday School classes and those interested can contact me and I will finalize the list.  She is planning on coming home Sunday, but doesn't want a meal until Monday.  Also, if you would rather get a gift card to a restaurant that would be okay also.  Thanks in advance.

Hey Team,

 

As we reach the mid-way point of our Song of Solomon study, we are going to take this week off as many will be out of town for fall break.  When we resume on October 19, we will do the second session on intimacy, followed by sessions on conflict, romance and commitment.  This Sunday we will do a more traditional type lesson, but it will still be on marriage.

 

Please continue to pray for our prospective pastor, Dr. Rick Stevens, as well as his wife, Shirley, and their children, Valerie (10th grade) and Samuel (7th grade).  Please also mark your calendars for Saturday morning, November 1.  We will have an informal time with Bro. Rick in the fellowship hall during which we can get to know him better.  The whole church is invited, and our time together will include a Q & A session.

 

Also, during the evening worship service on October 26, our search committee will share the details of our journey that led us to Bro. Rick.  On Sunday, November 2, Bro. Rick will preach in the morning service and then we will vote on his call immediately after the service.

 

Hope to see you soon.

 

Press on.

Hey Team,

 

Song of Solomon

 

O.K., the preliminary rounds are over.  Now we get serious.  The issues of attraction, dating and courtship (which are not as relevant to most of us) will be replaced by intimacy, conflict, romance and commitment.  How we deal with these issues has a major impact on the quality of our marriages.  It's about to get very practical, very real, and very relevant. 

 

Fireproof

 

For those who are interested, we are going to go see the movie, "Fireproof," this Friday.  This is a great movie about marriage and commitment.  You won't be disappointed if you go with us.  We plan to meet at the church at 6:00 p.m. Friday and go from there.  The movie is at "The Great Escape" (Exit 1).  The cost is $8.25 for adults.  Hope you can go with us.

 

The Tubbs

 

I believe this Sunday will be Robert and Kathy's first official Sunday at Henderson Memorial where Robert will be serving as youth minister.  Please continue to pray for and support them in this effort.

 

Pastor Search

 

As I mentioned last Sunday, our search committee has extended an invitation to a prospective pastor who will be coming in view of a call the weekend of November 2.  Please continue to pray for him and his family., for our church, for his current church, and for his ministry.

 

Press on.
