FROM THE PASTOR. Sunday School Is For Living! This is our theme for Bearden’s Sunday School. We believe that Sunday School is a life
enriching experience. We believe this
so much that we want to have a Sunday School that reaches out to the unchurched,
the inactive, and anyone else that is not involved in a class or group. Our Education Team and Church Council have established
March as a time for us to search the highways and byways and compel (invite)
these folks to be part of our disciple growing congregation. We will have Mr. Sunday School and Ms.
Veggie Tale to help us focus and to have some fun as part of this outreach. I want to invite every class to make two
prayer/contact lists. The first is a
list of the strayed, lost, missing, and inactives. And, then make a second list of people within our circles of
living (friend, family, neighbor) that is unchurched. If you do not have anyone in your circle that is unchurched, pray that God
will send someone to you or you to someone. Lastly, please put on your welcome and when you see
someone you do not know, greet them until you can call them friend! Blessings, In Christ, TLS MANY THANKS!
Thank you to everyone who helped with the college-age/Emory &
Henry Choir lunch. The response of
this congregation to help with food, setting up, greeting, serving, and
cleaning was tremendous! I was truly
blessed by the support from the church.

MOMENTS. Beginning
March 5 and continuing during the upcoming Lenten season, a few moments will
be taken during each worship service to reflect upon the crucifixion of
Jesus. Each ‘Lenten Moment’ will
involve one person reading selected scripture while a symbol of Christ’s
suffering is presented at the altar by a second person. A total of 24 people are needed to assist
with the reading and presenting of symbols over a period of 6 weeks. If you are interested in assisting with
this effort, please contact Les Beaver [558-8972] to have your name placed on
a volunteer sheet.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT CHILDREN’S MEALS Due to the number of children we are blessed to be
having on Wednesday evening, and health and safety regulations, children will
no longer be going into the kitchen to receive their meal. A children’s serving table has been set up
which will have their tray, silverware, plate, napkin and their menu food. (The cost of the children’s meal is $2.00
per child). The kitchen staff has
been serving the children, but there will not be staff available to be at the
children’s serving table to dish their food for them. Therefore, if a child is too young to
manage preparing his or her own plate, then the parent will need to assist
the child. In addition, we need to be
sure that all children’s plates, cups and trays are cleaned up from the table
and not left on the table. High chair
trays need to be taken up front. The
high chair trays can be run through the dishwasher. |

Powell UMW RUMMAGE SALE The
UMW spring rummage sale will be held on Sat., April 1 at 7:30 a.m. Setup days are scheduled for Wed., March
29th at 7:30 p.m. and Thurs. and Fri., March 30th and
31st at 9 a.m. We learned
from the last sale that Knox Area Rescue Ministries is now limited to what
donations that they can take. Please
do not bring any old, broken or heavily worn furniture, broken toys, old
computers or appliances that no longer work.
We don’t want to seem ungrateful but these items do not sell and we
have to pay someone to haul them off. YOOHOO!
20's -40's SINGLES & MARRIEDS! (We like to call it a "Young Adult" class)
Break out of the "I don't do Sunday School" mold and live it up on
Sunday mornings with the Pathfinders in Room #215 at 10 am. We will begin Chuck Swindoll's study,
"So, You Want To Be Like Christ" on March 12th. This study is just right for anyone desiring
to delve deeper into the fundamental elements of Christian life. We will
explore eight spiritual disciplines of the Christian faith - prayer,
humility, self-control, sacrifice, sub-mission, solitude, and hope. Come on
and start living it up! You may even throw your mold away! |
