It's Happening at FPC Wednesday Night

Jackie Burt's HeartsBurn small group Bible study will commence their fall study with a soup and salad luncheon on Tuesday, September 10. They invite you to join them in pursuing God through the study of scripture and other materials. This fall the group will explore an invitation to the Christian spiritual life through reading and discussing Soul Feast by Marjorie J. Thompson. Weekly meetings are Tuesdays at 1:00 p.m. at Jackie's home. Those able to arrive a bit early are welcomed with fellowship, coffee and tea, and sometimes treats. For more information, contact Jackie at 423-646-7405 or jburt@chartertn.net.

Betsy Turnbull's Heart to Heart Bible study resumed for the fall September 3 and began an inductive study of John's gospel. Although this group will usually meet on the first and third Tuesday of each month, the second meeting this month has been rescheduled to September 10. All meetings will be at 7:00 p.m. in room 123 of the church. Whenever you join us, feel free to invite a friend!

Lorri Looney's Wednesday Morning Heart to Heart DVD Bible Study resumed September 4 and began a course of twelve lessons through December 4, Twelve Women of the Bible: Life-Changing Stories for Women Today, by Lysa TerKeurst and others. This group meets weekly from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the church parlor.

Lynette Wallen's Heart to Heart group resumed weekly gatherings August 14. The group has begun an inductive study of the book of John and will continue meeting weekly until early December. They meet in the New Mothers' room from 9:30 to 11:00 on Wednesday mornings. Child care is available. New members are always welcome. Please feel free to join us any week!

This week, Karen White-Smith and Eric Cline, on mower duty September 4-7, are catching a break in the weather. We hope it stays fine for Roger Sikorski, who takes over September 11-14. We'll be mowing well into October, so it's not too late to join the FPC mowing team. Just contact Randy Cook at 423-956-1541 or npolecook@aol.com.
