Other Announcements:
Walnut Street’s Trail Ride is on for this Saturday! The group will meet at the Renaissance Center at 10 AM. Call the office for additional details.
Bible Classes to Resume: Our regular schedule of Bible classes for both Sunday and Wednesday evening have resumed. A list of all adult and children’s classes will be printed in Sunday’s Edifier.
Make plans to join us for a Church-Wide Picnic and Outdoor Worship Service Sunday, September 27! We will gather in our Chestnut Street-side parking lot beginning with a meal at 5 PM, followed by worship at 6 PM. Bring a chair and invite a friend! In an effort to keep everyone safe, the meal for this picnic will be provided. (grilled hot dogs, hamburgers, individual chips, cookies and drinks) There will not be a charge for the meal. In the event of inclement weather, we will move into the Fellowship Hall.
Thank you for your support of the addition of our 7 am Sunday morning service which is now open to everyone wearing a mask, practicing social distancing, and observing contact precautions when not in the assembly. This expands the opportunities for Sunday worship to three in-person assemblies (7 am, 9 am, 6 pm). As we move about the building, our shepherds ask that in order to best love and honor one another we wear masks. During the 9 AM assembly, 6 PM assembly and Bible classes, masks are optional. Please be in prayer for all of our teachers and students as we resume this blessed time together as a church family. Please continue to pray for an end to the pandemic, for those who are weak or sick, and for those who are healthy that they remain so.
If you would like to contact the counseling center regarding an online appointment with Bud Lambert, please call 615-975-2395.
During these days, many of our people are relying on technology, some more than usual. If you need tech support with your tablet, smartphone, laptop, or smart-TV, please email us your question at: askwalnutstreet@wscoc.com. We will do our best to respond personally to your question and help offer support in some way.
Reading for today:
16 “And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 17 But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, 18 that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. Matthew 6:16-18 (His Life Devotional Book page 228)
