Bible Correspondence Program

I always look forward to Sundays but this one is especially significant. This week, during our Bible class hour we will be honoring those who have passed that used to work in our Bible Correspondence Program.

It is so neat to hear how this great program got started back in 1970 with the goal of enrolling 500-1,000 students to learn more about what the Bible says on various topics. Today that total has grown to a total of 324,000+ CURRENTLY ENROLLED STUDENTS!! It is awesome to see God working within this wonderful congregation!

If you have any interest in enrolling in our free BCC program as a student, let me know and I will tell you how you can get started! 🙂

As always, we would love to have you visit us at the Mt. Leo Church of Christ in McMinnville, Tennessee. We have worship on Sundays at 9:00 am, Bible class at 10:00 am, and another worship at 11:00 am. We also get together every Wednesday at 7:00 pm for a time of Bible study. We would love for you to join us anytime!

Our New Tennessee Life

As some of you are probably aware, Trent and I moved to middle Tennessee in June to work with the Mt Leo church of Christ. Since arriving, things have been very busy but I wanted to take a little time to let you know how things were going. We absolutely love the new adventure we have embarked upon and we could not have asked for a better church family! They have welcomed us with open arms, had us into their homes, invited us on fun outings and encouraged us so much since we have been here.

Since we have arrived we have had an ice cream social, started a sewing class to make quilts for some of our shut-ins, had a great Vacation Bible School and a very successful Friends and Family Day. At our Friends and Family Day the elders surprised the congregation with new updates around the building. We had fresh paint in the auditorium, power point installed and ready to go, new flowers and chairs up on front and some of the classrooms even got new hard wood floors. We were blessed to have around 220 precious souls present (the most we had before that was 180)!

On top of everything going on at Mt Leo, last weekend I was also given the opportunity to spend some time and speak to some of the sisters from the East End congregation (where my father-in-law preaches) at their Ladies Retreat. We had a great time together making memories and growing in the Word. The most important event to take place since we have been here has been witnessing several restorations and baptisms. To say it has been a very exciting time would be an understatement.

I hope that this post has not been boastful by any means, but pointed to the awesome work that God has going on in our lives. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we strive to do the Lord’s work and please Him on a daily basis

New Project

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a list of businesses that were owned or managed by members of the Lord’s church, so that we could give them our business? Several years ago, this came up in conversation with a friend. So I have decided to attempt to compile a list.

If you faithfully attend the Lord’s church and either own or manage a business, please send an email with the following information to CofCBusinessDirectory@gmail.com

– Type of Business
– Name of Business
– Location of Business (at least the City and State)
– Website and other contact information
– Name of the member who owns or manages business (please indicate if you are the owner or manager)
– Congregation you attend

**Feel free to let me know in the email if you offer special rates or discounts to other members of the church.

ALSO — if you own/manage a business and are looking to hire, send me your information. I have created a “Job Postings” list.

To visit the website, just click the link provided: www.cofcbusinessdirectory.wordpress.com or like us on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Church-of-Christ-Business-Directory/314119885334888

Thanks! And be sure to tell all your friends about the new site. It can only be a success if you help submit businesses to be added to the directory!
