MESSAGE FROM PASTOR LARRY!
LAUNCH!!!
Luke 5:1-11
When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” —Luke 5:4
Revival meetings are almost here. Let us pray fervently that the Lord will give us the courage to launch out
into the deep!
Four Prayers!
Lord, help me to go deeper in obedience to your Word. (John 14:15)
Jesus, give me a spirit of unity and a willingness to work together with my Brothers, and Sisters in
Christ. (Psalm 133, Nehemiah 4:6)
Lord, Please pour out a spirit of true repentance upon me and upon your church. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
Lord, help me to launch out into the deep, forsaking my will and following You! (Mark 8:34-38)
“Study the history of revival. God has always sent revival in the darkest days.
Oh, for a mighty sweeping revival today!” —Adrian Rogers
In Christ,
Pastor Larry

As a way of supporting those

be sending expired coupons to a
military base. A box has been
placed in the old fellowship hall
for expired coupons. Coupons
should be within 4 months of
expiration date to allow time for
shipping. Please put only manufacturer’s coupons (no store specific coupons or printed coupons). If you have questions
see Annette Cash.

RECYCLE YOUR UNUSED PRESCRIPTION GLASSES TO HELP
OTHERS SEE
Do you have an old pair of prescription eyeglasses that you no longer
use? There is a box in the old fellowship hall to collect glasses that can
change someone’s life. We will be donating these to the Lion’s Club which cleans, sorts by prescription
strength and then packages the
glasses. They are distributed to people in need. Imagine them going to
someone who needs glasses just to do
their job or a child who could read if
they had the glasses. If you have
questions, see Annette Cash.

NEWS FROM OUR SUNDAY SCHOOL DIRECTOR
We have reached the end of one church year and are beginning another. The Lord has blessed us in so
many ways. I have made it through my inaugural year as the Sunday School director. Now that my second
year has begun, I would like to reintroduce at least one item and possibly begin another one.
Most churches have gotten away from issuing Sunday school attendance pins at the end of the church calendar year. I remember growing up that this used to be a big deal. There were some who had fifteen pins or
more hooked together where it looked like an army officer with all of their medals. This was something for
them to be proud of and rightfully so. I think that we need to recognize those who put forth the effort to
faithfully come to Sunday school each week. As such, beginning on Sunday, October 4, we will begin this
tradition again. I have spoken with the Sunday school teachers to ensure that the attendance is being kept
regularly. I encourage each of you to make a resolution to attend Sunday school every Sunday for the next
church year. Nothing would thrill me more than to give out attendance pins to everyone. We will recognize
those who faithfully come during a church service next year around this same time. Everyone will be allowed to miss one Sunday and it not count against them. If you are out of town, attendance at another
church will count for your attendance at Baptist Chapel. It will be your responsibility to inform your
teacher on the following Sunday. Church attendance is not something extra that we do for the Lord but a
commandment from the Lord.
We are also going to honor those who have had birthdays each week. Keith Butler has graciously taken on
the task of building an offering box that will be placed at the front of the church during opening assembly.
For those of you who are not aware of what opening assembly is, it is the time period from 9:45 to 10:00.
We gather together in the sanctuary for a song, prayer and short devotion. During this time, anyone who
has had a birthday during the week will be recognized. You can come to the front of the church and drop
any amount of offering you wish in the offering box. We will then sing Happy Birthday together as a
group. Remember that the birthdays are published in the monthly newsletter article, so I will know if you
are holding out. This is meant to encourage attendance and celebrate the Lord’s blessing on each of our lives.
It is important that we attend church regularly and not just for Sunday school. You are missed when you
are not at church. We attend church to encourage others as well as be encouraged ourselves. Most of all,
we attend church to worship God and lift up our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Sincerely,
Scott Brown

WMU NEWS & EVENTS
October is here and that means we are in a new church year. I am very excited about the opportunities we
will have in the coming year. The anticipation of what God can accomplish through us is almost overwhelming. But, are we ready and willing to do what he would have us do? Are we willing to step outside
our “comfort zone” to do His will? There may be lots of what ifs going through your mind…such as what if I fail, what if I don’t know what to say, what if they laugh at me and the list of what if questions keeps growing. But let’s change the question to what if I disobey His will, what if I do what I want, not what he wants, what then??? Be willing and open to trying new things and helping with projects you haven’t tried before. The biggest blessing may be yours, and you don’t want to miss out on a blessing.
The Parade of Tables was hugely successful this year. We were able to provide Victor Murray’s family with over $5000 for his medical bills. We have received a Thank You note for the help to this family.
Women’s Bible Study: James: Mercy Triumphs by Beth Moore has started. If you are concerned about not having time for the “homework” then just come to the sessions and listen to the DVD. It is one of the options, you do not have to spend more time unless you decide to do more.
The GAs have a goal of collecting at least 800 pairs of socks. These socks will go to each person who
visits the Christian Food Bank of Salemburg. Along with the socks, the GAs will provide a bookmark as
part of their ministry to those who are supported by the Food Bank. Please place socks in the basket located in the church entrance. Money for socks can be given to Allison Hargrove or Lisa Knowles. It is the
goal for everyone attending the Food Bank to a new warm pair of socks. Let’s support our young girls as they minister to those in need. What a great hands-on way to support our neighbors in need.
Be looking for more details on Operation Christmas Child for this holiday season. We
have a goal of having at least 100 boxes filled with goodies for children. These boxes
are also an opportunity to share the gospel. Be prayerfully considering how you will be
involved with this ministry.
October 17th is the date of our next blood drive. There is a sign up sheet if you are able to donate a pint of
life giving blood. Let me know if you have questions or want to help.
A sign up sheet for those interested in attending the Women’s Retreat at Camp Caswell February 26-28, 2016 is on the glass window. As soon as more details are available, I
will share. Last year 14 women attended and it was a wonderful event. I do hope that
more women are able to attend in 2016. The guest speaker will be Phyllis Elliott Elvington who brings a wealth of life experiences with her and her biblical teaching reflects
that with messages that are not only deep in content but instantly relatable. Music and
worship leader, Katie Furr has traveled the world over the course of 17 years as a performing musician, but her faith in Jesus Christ has been her foundation.
In Christ’s Love
