‘When In Our Music God Is Glorified’ Lenten Schedule 

Please mark your calendars for these upcoming worship services. As we prepare to celebrate the great feast day of Easter, let us walk together during the 40-day season of Lent, giving ourselves times to reflect, search our hearts, and prepare ourselves for the sacrifice offered on our behalf. The following are services in Lent in addition to Sunday Morning Worship: 

Pastoral Thoughts - February 12th, 2020

"On January 26, Dr. Scott Self, Chair of our Finance Committee, shared these words with our congregation in worship. It was a powerful moment in our sanctuary, and I share them with you now. For those who were not there, I ask you to prayerfully consider them. For those who were there, physically or virtually, I hope you will visit them again." 

Good Morning, I’m Scott Self and I am coming before you this morning on behalf of the Finance Committee. 

My family has been a part of this church for 20 years. Because neither Deana nor I have parents in TN, this church has become our family. When preparing to speak to you, I came to the realization that with all families, sometimes we just have to have difficult discussions. This is one of those times. 

About a year and a half ago, we as a committee began to see a bothersome trend in that our sole source of income, the tithing dollars that we receive on a weekly basis from the congregation, was beginning to decline. Because of this, several actions were taken to adjust our expenses so we could continue to operate in a financially responsible manner.
