Volunteers Needed: A Christmas program has been planned in the Waverly community (sponsored by the Humphreys County Emergency Management Office) to support and encourage survivors of the recent flood. They are in need of volunteers for the following tasks: wrap gifts, serve cookies and hot cocoa, read stories to children, make ornaments with children and park vehicles. They have reached out to Walnut Street specifically because of our great support of Waverly in recent weeks. If you are interested in helping, please call the church office.

Reading for today: 14 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many [f]mansions; if it were not so, [g]I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.” John 14:1-4 (My Life in Him Devotional Book page 279)
