A Word from the Pastor...
Passion for the World. When Jesus left this
world He gave the disciples one last command.
In Acts 1:8, Jesus tells His disciples, “but you will
receive power when the Holy Spirit has come
upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in
Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and
even to the remotest part of the earth.” We are
to be witnesses. You know what a witness is
supposed to do? Speak. Testify. A witness is
supposed to speak. They are supposed to speak
about what they have seen and heard. That is
our job. We are to be witnesses. We are to be
witnesses about Jesus, His work, His salvation,
His Word, and His plan for man.
On Saturday, the eleventh of October
Barry & Jane Cox and family in the
death of her brother James Mack
Trunk-n-Treat Rowland.

Mr. & Mrs. Terry Barron and
Outreach
This month we will take a few weeks to focus on
our mission. Our mission is to be a witness.
Sometimes when we think about “missions” we
think about a trip, a committee, or a specific
event. In reality, missions is not a “thing”. We do
not “do missions”. We are “on mission.” Our Lord
has sent us into the world, so that we can tell the
world about Him.
Please make plans to be a part of this special
emphasis as we focus on being a people who
are sent. Join us as we look to weave missions
into the DNA of our lives. Join us as we grow in
our PASSION for the World.
Let’s live on mission!
