Congratulations to Landon Trotter who signed to play baseball with Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City, Tennessee, beginning in the 2010-2011 academic year. Carson-Newman is a four year Christian liberal arts school. Landon was one of two catchers for the Mt. Juliet High School Golden Bears last year. He is the son of Greg and Charlayne Trotter.
Thanks to Aaron Foster and Paul Stonecipher who stayed at the task all day last Saturday to get a major facility issue under control at the church. An alarm light should have warned us on Thursday that two motors on our sewage pumps were down. The system was repaired and up and running by late Saturday night. I appreciate the time investment and concern from both men who did what they did on behalf of us all.
Kendell Poole led the 2010 Hermitage Invitational at Windtree Golf Course on Saturday, August 21, 2010. Forty-eight men gathered for breakfast at the church with forty-three golfers participating. Breakfast cooks and set-up people were Ken Willis, Jay Earnhardt, and Scott Moore. The first place golfers were Troy Haydel, Taylor Haydel, Toby Haydel, and Kevin Brennan. The long drive winner was Kevin Orrick. Closest to the hole were Troy Haydel and Mark Washing.
Kyle Poole has served as senior pastor of Gallatin Church of the Nazarene since April of 2007. His last Sunday was August 22, 2010. He begins service as senior pastor of Midland Valley Church of the Nazarene in Graniteville, South Carolina, on August 29, 2010. Congratulations to Kyle and Julie on their new assignment. Wendell and JoAnn, Kendell and Tammy, Bryce, Carter, and Annalee will be missing their family. Dr. Bryce Fox from HCN will serve as the interim preacher at Gallatin while they search for a new pastor.
Thanks to Ken Jewett who is the creative finder, arranger of videos for Sunday preaching. I want to point at the people who are doing the hard work.
My personal apologies are extended to second service people who tried to exit the property on Sunday without a traffic officer. Rondy Smith is working today to resolve the problems involved.
Two new membership classes are scheduled for Tuesday, September 14, 2010, at 7:00 PM and Saturday, September 18, 2010, at 9:00 AM. If you are interested in knowing more about the church and how to join, call the church office at 847-3335 and tell us which class you plan to attend. New members will be received at the close of each service on Sunday, September 19, 2010. I will personally lead each class. The transfer of membership for Dr. Mike Jackson and his wife Cheryl is already in my office and awaiting their welcome with you. Mike is the new preaching professor at TNU.
Week after week during pastoral prayer, we pray for soldiers connected to our church families who are stationed out and away. We pray the specific prayer that God will protect each man and woman and bring them home safely to their families. We depend on you to keep us posted when soldiers return home. Would you check the following list and if you see the name of a soldier who has returned, would you call the church office so we might keep the list current? The list is printed in the order that soldiers were added.
Evan Gire, Chris Crabtree, Kurt Kile, Cameron Bradshaw, Matthew Hurt, Ryan McDaniel, Randy Baker, Kris Hostetler, Chris Bear, Scott Girard, Micah Terry, Christopher Woottoon, Joshua Woottoon, Jeff Holland, Brandon Hanks, Michael Barrett, Chris Pack, Nathaniel Lindsley, Eric Lathrop, Frank Clark, Jeremy Binkley, Stephen Nunley, Noah Jiminez, Lawana Nelson, Bobby Pigott, Dan Hansmeyer, Matthew Muniz, Roland Matthews, Joseph Eley, Michelle Shakida, Michael Resendez, Paul Jordan, Paul Galloway, Jamie Nicholson, Travis Massa
Four Senior High Students from HCN left worship two Sundays ago with inspiration from God to begin work on a particular mission assignment. That Monday, they met with their high school principal and applied for permission to begin a new club at school: a mission club. The name of the club is Humble Hands. On Friday, August 13, 2010, the club became official. I am thinking today of the difference some young people are making in their world and I am glad to know them. When you are tempted to think that the world is going to the hot place, think again. You now know better.
In Christ Jesus,
Pastor Howard
