THE E DIF I ER “Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace,

and the things wherewith one may edify another” (Rom. 14:19).

INVOLVING YOU…Larry Snow

After-Action Report

Saturday evening, October 29, saw our 11th Annual Fall

Outreach to our community. Thanks to each of you who

participated. Several independent estimates figured the crowd

at 5 to 6,000. It was a beautiful evening. As you may know we

delivered almost 200 children’s Bibles and about 60 adult New

Testaments to our guests. Judy Hinson presented the Bible

offer to our guests and shared the following:

“I just wanted to add to your announcement from yesterday

some of the remarks I heard. They were all made in wonder

and awe. ‘Are these really for us?’ ‘This is a real Bible, not just

stories!’ ‘Can I please have one for my grandchildren?’ ‘Thank

you, thank you! I can’t believe y’all are handing out real Bibles.

Thank you.’ There were many more I can’t remember. Of all I

asked, less than a handful said no. Beside the absolute thrill of

being given a Bible, I saw a hunger in the faces and attitudes.”

I think Judy said it all.

FAMILY MATTERS…Steve Baggett

In addition to our regular worship assemblies and Bible Classes,

the month of November provides several other opportunities for

worship, fellowship, and outreach.

Heart-Felt Food Outreach

Sunday—November 13

This year, instead of having to purchase the food items and bring

them to the church building ourselves, next Sunday, during our

Bible classes, we will be given the opportunity to make a donation

for one or more Heart-Felt Food Boxes. The cost of the box,

completely filled with food items, is $13. Please be prepared to

give generously in your Bible classes to this effort. These boxes

will be distributed to our guests after the Thanksgiving Outreach

Meal on November 19. The joy on the faces of our neighbors when

they receive their food box is a wonderful blessing!

Thanksgiving Outreach Meal and Clothing Giveaway

Saturday—November 19

5:00 p.m.

We will be able to sign up beginning today in our Bible Classes to

assist with this wonderful evening. Help is needed in set-up, food

preparation, serving, clothes distribution, and clean up.

Thanks Singing

Sunday—November 20

6:00 p.m.

For twenty-two years brethren from surrounding congregations

have come together on the Sunday evening prior to Thanksgiving

for a joyous time of singing praises to God. Please make plans to

participate in this special time of worship. Song leaders are asked

to call the church office (615-446-2909) by noon Wednesday,

November 16 to register. Walnut Street members are asked to

bring finger foods for our family and several of our guests for the

Finger-Food Fellowship which will follow the singing.

Thanksgiving Eve Worship

Wednesday—November 23

7:00 p.m.

All of our classes will meet together in the Auditorium for a special

time of worship. Let’s all bring our families with us for this annual

time of giving thanks.
