These classes will help our First Graders to find ways to worship God, learn about baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and give them some helpful tools they can use as they join us in worship. Children will go back to their Sunday School classroom after the Children’s Sermon and stay there until you pick them up after worship. Look for more information in the mail.

CHURCH WIDE TEACHER TRAINING
Mark your calendar for Saturday, October 3. We will have a training event designed to meet the learning needs for all age groups in our church. If you are working with Pre-School & Children, Youth or Adults you can come and gain valuable insights into maximizing your effectiveness in ministering to them. The training is divided by age groups not ministry areas. The training will last from 8:00 a.m. until 12 noon. We will have speakers from outside our church come and share their insights with us. If you are involved in working with any of these age groups, or if you are interested in getting plugged in, please make plans to attend. Call the church office so we can better plan the light breakfast and other accommodations. If you have questions, contact Tommy Cook or Bryan Harris.

SYMPATHY
We express our Christian sympathy to Jeanette Massengill in the recent homegoing of her sister.

MISSION UPDATE
Last year we supported the T.I.M. Mission. What is that? We did? YES!!! T.I.M. is Transform India Movement. Through your financial gifts the N.C. Baptist Men were able to adopt a village, which provides a well, literacy training, a bicycle for a church planter, 200 Bibles, hymnals and a medical clinic in the village. In addition to the above, another village received clean water through a well. Through your efforts, two villages received clear clean water for the first time, and living water for all eternity. Check out the photos on the bulletin board behind the Sanctuary. The smiles are just precious. Let’s do it again! Clean water is priceless to those who have never had any.
