Next Week - Fall Kickoff Breakfast

On Sunday Oct. 5th, we will move to our new worship center & use the new Sunday schedule. The Foundations class will now meet at 9am in WT310 and attend traditional worship at 10:15am. This will also be promotion Sunday for all the kids.

To kickoff this big change, we will have a Fall Kickoff Breakfast. The following people have signed up to bring these items. Please let me know if you would like to be added to the list. This would also be a great week to bring a friend since we’ll have the “extra” fellowship!

• Berry - kolaches
• Crockett - fruit
• Silberman - breakfast tacos
• Morrow - banana bread
• Lofts - muffins
• Gould - egg casserole
• Smith - “something good from Mary Lynn!”
• Shinogle - cranberry bread

We’ll see everyone at 9am, ready for some food, fellowship and a lesson from Romans 1-3!

EXTRA NOTE: The Music Builds Tour concert on Friday evening will no longer be a class event since it has been moved to the Berry Center and ticket sales have been suspended.

Hi All,

OCTOBER 5TH: FALL KICKOFF BREAKFAST

With the opening of our new worship facility and transition to a new Sunday morning schedule, October 5th is a big day in the life of our church. On this day, our class will begin meeting at the 9am hour and attend a 10:15 traditional service in the new worship facility.

We will celebrate this change and kickoff our new fall schedule with a potluck breakfast, some fellowship, and a lesson on Romans. Please plan to bring a breakfast item to share, and think about inviting a friend. The breakfast sign-up sheet will be available in class over the next couple of weeks.

NEXT WEEK:

• Lesson: What Does the Bible Teach About Stewardship? Matthew 25:14-30
• Breakfast: Silbermans
• Couples Corner returns! Be there at 9:30 sharp to find out which lucky couple we’ll be calling upon first…

Hope everyone has a great week. And for those of you without power, hang in there and let us know if there’s anything you need!

Hi guys,

We just wanted to let you know about a few events that we would encourage you to attend over the next week.

• Cross Connection - Mon 9/8 at 6pm in the Grand Room. Dinner will be available for $3 and we’ll write notes to prospects for our class.
• Women’s Bible Study - Mon 9/8 at 6:30pm in West Tower Rm. 315. We’re continuing our Bad Girls of the Bible study with Delilah. You are welcome to eat dinner in the Grand Room with Outreach at 6pm before bible study begins.
• Hudson Mann Prayer Breakfast - Thurs 9/11 at 7am in Fellowship Hall West. The guest speaker is David Ray & breakfast will be served for $6. Please make reservations online at www.tallowood.org.
• Piano’s & Peru - Sat 9/13 at 7pm in the sanctuary of S. Main Baptist Church. A concert by duo-pianists that will benefit Chris & Jessica Rose’s ministry in Collique, Peru.

SCHEDULE CHANGE BEGINNING OCT. 5TH

As many of you know, there has been quite a bit of discussion about the revised worship schedule once we move into the new sanctuary on October 5th. After much prayer and consideration, the church leadership has arrived at the following schedule for Sunday mornings.

• 9AM - Contemporary Worship & Sunday School
• 10:15AM - Traditional Worship & Sunday School
• 11:30AM - Traditional Worship

With this new schedule, Ethan and I feel that we can best meet the needs of both our class and the church by meeting at the 9AM hour. Not only will this minimize the disruption within our class (both in change of membership & leadership), but this will provide a Bible study option for our age bracket during both Sunday School hours.

In regards to growth, although we can seem “small” on a weekly basis, we now have over 30 members on our roll and are one of the fastest growing classes in the church. We will continue to outreach to visitors in both the 10:15 and 11:30 traditional services, but feel this is an opportunity to reach inward and nurture the existing members of our class, both in faith and fellowship.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the new schedule, please drop us an email or give us a call. We’d love to hear your thoughts or answer any questions you might have.

Thanks, and we’re looking forward to the changes ahead!

Melissa & Ethan
