Fighter Verses-- We continue the Fighter Verses Scripture Memory program this year.  Make sure to pick up a 2025 Bookmark which gives tips for Scripture memory and our verse for each week.  Memorizing Scripture is a great way to deepen your faith and grow in your discipleship in the new year.  

In its October 27 meeting, the Administrative Council recommended several changes to the language in our church by-laws.  Copies of those changes are available in the Narthex.  A full copy of the Church By-Laws is also available in the Narthex for you to peruse.   If you have any questions about the proposed changes, please contact Pastor Natalie at

276-228-2845 or Jack Quesenberry, Chair of the Administrative Council, at 276-228-8681.

Dear Congregation, I sincerely thank you for the generous and thoughful gifts you have given me for Pastor Appreciation during the past couple of weeks.  You all are a blessing to me and I'm so grateful that the Lord has placed me here to serve.  Much Love in Christ,    Pastor Natalie

COLLEGE CARE PACKAGES: We will be sending out “care packages” to our college students in November.  Please take one of the blank 1/4 sheets of paper distributed at today’s service and write a short note of encouragement to our students (you may include a prayer, poem, Bible verse or just a short note).  We will collect these notes this Sunday and next Sunday, Nov. 2 in the Basket in the Narthex.  Once collected, we’ll copy them and include them with a gift card to college students who have attended services in our church in the past year. 

We need 8 people to volunteer for nursery.  We have 2 volunteers already.  With 8 people, volunteers would only serve once per month. Please consider serving in this vital ministry.   Volunteers are required to submit to a background check, paid for by the church. Please see our Nursery Director, Katy Porter (or call at 620-6317), if you are willing to serve.
