What a wonderful day we had in the Lord this past
Sunday. Allison Oliver baptized, Tanner Timmons and
Madison Toole coming for Baptism and then Sunday
evenings sweet, sweet spirit made the day complete. Thank
you to the Baptism Committee, the Lords Supper Committee,
the praise team, audio visual team, instrumentalist, and
especially our Lord for blessing us in worship.
This Sunday will be just as exciting with a Baptism in
the 8:30 and 11:00 AM services. Then our time of fellowship
Sunday evening as we share watermelon and Officially
welcome Jeff Baxley and family. Just a reminder that we
would like to do a gift card tree as a form of pounding or
pantry shower. Join us Sunday as we come expecting a
blessing and receiving a blessing.
Our Children are at Centra-Kid this week at Norman
Park. By the time you read this they will have returned. Join
with me in praying that God will continue to speak to our
children as He did at camp and that many will come to know
Christ as Lord and Savior.
We will honor Clarene Jones upon her retirement on
Sunday the 27th from 2 till 3:30 pm. I hope you will come by
and thank her for the great job she has done for over 17 years.
A basket will be present if you would like to leave her a
personal note of thanks or a card.
I look forward to seeing you this Sunday.

Paul

And
Gift Card Tree for
the Baxleys

As I enjoyed a day hiking the Appalachian Trail, this
hymn text by Barbara Fowler Gaultney about the beauty
of God's creation flooded my mind;

In the lightning flash across the sky
His mighty powr I see,
And I know if He can reign on high,
His light can shine on me.

When the thunder shakes the mighty hills
And trembles evry tree,
Then I know a God so great and strong
Can surely harbor me.

When refreshing showers cool the earth
And sweep across the sea,
Then His rainbow shines within my heart,
His nearness comforts me.

Ive seen it in the lightning, heard it in the thunder,
And felt it in the rain;
My Lord is near me all the time,
My Lord is near me all the time.

THANK YOU!!!!
I want to say a big, gigantic thank you to the small army of
people that showed up to help move my family this past
Saturday. So many were involved with cleaning, driving,
lifting, unpacking, feeding, and taking care of my children! I
cannot say thank you enough for the way my family has been
welcomed to Bainbridge!!

Fall Schedule
As we move towards the beginning of the new school and
church year, our youth leadership will be working together to
establish a fall schedule. I hope to have a calendar together
soon of the major events and activities that will take place
over the next few months. One event to keep an eye out for
details about will be our fall kickoff for our Wednesday night
services. I look forward to seeing you this week in worship!!

Blessing,
Jeff
