Congratulations to Andrew Richard Nelson and Katie Nicole Stonecipher who were joined in marriage on Friday, October 10, 2009, at 6:30 PM in the sanctuary of Hermitage Church of the Nazarene. Katie is the daughter of Paul and Pam Stonecipher and the sister of Christy Stonecipher. Christy served as Katie’s maid of honor. The reception was held at the Old Hickory Country Club. Andrew’s groomsmen were the coolest, most attentive group of attendants I have ever witnessed on their wedding day. It was like having seven best men. Katie was a beautiful, jubilant bride. We celebrate the joining of this couple in marriage and the love they bring to share with one another for the rest of their lives.

Sam Green begins the fifth and last day of his chemotherapy treatment this afternoon and completes it in the morning (Tuesday). The pastoral staff team visited with Sam at lunch. He had an elevated fever and did not feel well. Pray that the chemotherapy destroys the remaining leukemia cells in his body; that Sam stays free of viruses and infections; that he begins to feel better. He could be home by the end of the week for the next waiting period. Follow Sam’s daily progress at www.samandthegreens.com.

There are a series of events just ahead in the life of HCN that would be easy to miss if you do not get them on your calendar NOW. Would you take a moment and look at your schedule and make room?
- Seasonal Flair is a once per year event for ladies where ideas are shared to warm your heart and home for the holidays. It is scheduled for Thursday, October 22, 2009, at 6:30 PM in The Center. I believe in the ladies who are presenting this activity. Cost is $5 with tickets to be purchased in the Foyer and the Lobby.
- Candy Parade is scheduled for Wednesday, October 28, 2009, at 6:30 PM in The Center. It is an invitation for preschool and elementary children through grade 4 to wear costumes (appeal to parents for appropriateness), and to parade through the Center to receive treats from church families. All adults are encouraged to bring candy for 200+ children and to find a chair in the circle to share your goodies.
- Fall Festival Fish Fry is the largest all church social event at HCN. Wayne McNeese leads teams of cooks in preparing fried fish, hushpuppies, and homecut fries outdoors. The date is Sunday, October 25, 2009, at 5:00 PM. The location is the west end of the church campus.
- Heritage Men’s Chorale visits HCN on Friday, October 30, 2009, at 7:00 PM in the Sanctuary. The chorale sings sacred hymns and compositions. It is composed largely of TNU alumni. You will recognize a number of men from the HCN congregation.
I look forward to a return from fall break schedules which keep us scattered. I like routine and I miss you.
In Christ Jesus,
Pastor Howard
