Enjoying Autumn in the Country

     We enjoyed another beautiful “fall” Lord’s Day in Enola this past Sunday with 151 gathered together for worship, study, and fellowship.  Brother Eddie Hawkins taught a great lesson at the 10 o’clock hour on the attitude of humility.  Brother Palmer always does a great job when he leads our singing.   I had the privilege of preaching the concluding sermon from our series, “My Commitment – What am I committed to?”  I hope you have been encouraged and challenged by this series to commit yourself, not the fad, not to the food, not to the fun, and not even to the family, but to the Father through the Son.

     The Faulkner County Fair is now history.  Many of our Christian brothers and sisters were involved in the fair.  We are very proud of those who participated and those who supported the county fair. 

     GREAT NEWS!  We are planning a brand now Bible study group on Sunday mornings.  The class is designed for ages 18 to 30, collage-age to young adults.  Brother Brandon (Deacon over Youth) and Brother Patrick (Deacon on Education) called a meeting with those who fit in this particular age group this past Sunday following the morning service.  It was so good to see such a great number gathered in consideration of the new class.  We are in the preliminary stages of getting the class started, so be patient as we answer the questions that need to be answered – Who? What? When? Where? How?  If you fall into this particular age-group, please stay up-to-date and be ready to participate and help.

     The ladies are meeting every Monday night at 6:30 in the annex for a very special parenting class.  Cindi is teaching the class and from what I hear there has been outstanding attendance, good discussion, and positive results.  Of course, the material that is being taught comes right from God’s word, the Bible.  Parenting is tough.  We need all the help we can get.  Come and see.

     Have you been by the bulletin board in the lobby lately?  There are several “sign-up” sheets for your consideration.  Lately our lawn has been growing and needs to be cut weekly.  Men: please sign up to cut the grass if you can.  Babysitting is needed on Monday evenings from 6:30 to 7:30 for our ladies Bible class.  If you can babysit, please sign up.  We open our food pantry every 1^st Wednesday in the month.  We usually have several people from our community to stop by for food.  Please sign up to help in the very important ministry.  As you can see, there are opportunities to serve all around us.  Let’s do what we can to help.

     This Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. the church of Christ at Enola will have our monthly night of singing.  Make plans to come out and sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs along with your fellow Christian family.
