Meet our Evangelist

Edward L. Anderson

FROM THE PREACHER'S HEART:                        7/14/2010

     Are you visiting? If so, welcome! We hope your visit is enjoyable and helpful spiritually. We seek to worship God in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24). If there is some matter of spiritual concern you wish to discuss, please let someone know.

     Our attendance was up Sunday from the two previous weeks. Several were back in town from vacationing; some of our sick were back with us as well; and, we were blessed by visitors. Perhaps we do not say enough about those who are always present. Your faithfulness is an honor to God and an encouragement to all. May your number increase!

     Several of our campers, counselors, and cooks, will be leaving Sunday for a week of worship, Bible classes, and fellowship at Jackson-Smith County Youth Camp in Holland, KY. (See article in opposite column.) A special “THANKS!” to all those staff members who are taking vacation time or time off from work to assist. Camp will be conducted again this year at the facilities of beautiful Taylor Christian Camp. The theme of this year’s camp is “One Solitary Life: A Study of the Life of Christ”. We will have “Visitor’s Night” Friday evening. You are welcome to come for the devotional period and talent/skit time which follows. Your child may leave on Friday night but must contact their counselor and the director before leaving camp. Parents, we must depart camp by 10 A.M. Saturday morning. Please be there to pick up your children or make provisions for their departure prior to that time. Please pray for camp to be a success.

     Bible Bowl study and preparation are underway. Javin will have extra study sessions set up after camp. Parents, if your child is not signed up, let me urge you to involve them in Bible Bowl. (A sign up sheet is posted downstairs on the bulletin board.) It is a good work and a wonderful way to study the Bible. Exodus is an exciting book. If you can assist with refreshments for the Bible Bowlers, please sign the posted sheet.

     Following a week at camp I will begin a Gospel Meeting with the Hillcrest church of Christ in Sumner County, July 25. Javin will be speaking in my absence. The meeting will continue through Friday evening with services at 7:00 P.M. Please pray for the success of our efforts in preaching the gospel.

     On a personal note, I want to thank my wonderful wife for her love and support over the past forty-four years as we recently (July 7) celebrated our Wedding Anniversary.

     Let’s all endeavor to be present Sunday morning. Hope to see you then!
