Bil Cadaret won closest to the pin on one par three and Stines had the close up on the other. David Moore and Shane Dietrich were in the field for the first time and show promise for the future. Barney Moore won senior honors. All participants enjoyed their time together on a beautiful fall afternoon.

A Book on the Boundary:
A Study of Deuteronomy 

Led by Rev. Mike Gregg

September 11-November 20

@ 6:15 PM in Room 202

     The Israelites are on the verge of entering the Promised Land. Moses delivers a pep talk to guide the people as they look ahead to their new lives as followers of the One God. Deuteronomy is a book on the boundaries. The reader is taken to the boundary of the land, the edge of the future of the Hebrew people, and the threshold of a new understanding of God. This study will explore the limits of the text while increasing our knowledge of God's law.

     Hardy S. Clemons is a native of Lubbock, Texas, and a 1955 graduate of Texas Tech University with a degree in education. He later earned bachelor of divinity and doctor of theology degrees from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He did postdoctoral work at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich. From 1961 to 1967 he was senior pastor at First Baptist Church of Georgetown, Texas, and for the next 21 years he served in the same capacity at Second Baptist Church of Lubbock, Texas. In 1988 he became senior pastor at First Baptist Church in Greenville, SC, from which he retired in January 2000. Active in denominational and community affairs, he has been the moderator and a member of the executive committee of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and has taught at the International Baptist Theological Seminary in Rüschlikon, Switzerland. He co-chaired the Religious Liberty Council of the Baptist Joint Committee on Public Affairs and is the author of Saying Goodbye to Your Grief, published by Smyth and Helwys. He is a member of the Community Foundation of Greenville. He received an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Furman in 1994. 

During the week of November 11, The Preschool at Northside Drive Baptist Church will hold its 5th annual silent auction. Last year this event raised over $12,000 and was attended by parents, family and friends, Church members and Church faculty. Not only is the annual auction our main source of non-tuition funding for extracurricular activities, supplies and improvements to the school, but this year we have the task of replacing $28,000 worth of toys, supplies and pageant costumes that were recently ruined by extensive water damage.

     Please help us by collecting merchandise and services for our event. Feel free to contact our Auction Chair, Lauren Carroll, at lauren@bluedoorinteriors.com or 678-662-0002. We appreciate your support!
