BOOK STUDY: THIS TUESDAY!!! TIME CORRECTION: MEET AT 6:30. LifeWay has 6 more copies of the book One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. We begin our study this coming Tuesday, September 4. All you need to do is to get a copy of the book and read the first TWO chapters. Don't stop with the first one!!! Her writing style is "different" and if you are like me, you will be hooked after the second chapter! We will read two chapters for each week. NO MORE please. We will discuss these chapters. We will meet at my home, 601 West Valley View Circle, Kpt, TN 37664, behind Indian Springs Elementary School. E-mail me at rhotonm@hotmail.com, call 323-5924, or just bring your book and come. Of course you can use electronic books, too. Hope to see you there.

At Glenwood on Wednesday nights, we're doing a DVD study by Kelly Minter on Nehemiah. It's a rich lesson with many themes and applications such as: vision, prayer, compassion, opposition, and rebuilding. "Challenging" is the best way to describe it! 6:00-7:30 in room 200. Books are $6.50. It isn't too late to join us, so come on down. tkreynolds1234@yahoo.com

Our group is amazing! Not a Fan is a personally convicting study about being a follower of Christ and not a fan. Pastor Roc talked about Twitter and how we follow people on there by simply pressing a button. That is a very good analogy and that's what we are learning, how not to simply be a person saying" I'm a follower." We welcome you to our group. We meet at the Hill Rd. Campus on Wednesday evenings in room 215. 357-5050 jenimoelock@hotmail.com

FIT FOR THE KING 5K RACE/3K WALK/KIDS' RUN/KIDS' DASH
Pam Archer, Race Director
I cannot overemphasize the importance of getting pre-registered for the race, walk, and kid's races, and making your meal reservations for you and/or your family for this event on Sunday, September 16th. Though you can register the day of the event, it makes planning difficult when we don't have a good estimate of how many people to prepare for. Fire Crew Barbeque is preparing a wonderful meal for us. You don't have to participate in the events to eat, but we still need to know if you are coming. We need people to cheer the participants on along the course.
I am very excited about the race this year! We Run Events will be managing it for us again. The t-shirts are going to be very nice. A t-shirt is included in the $20 race fee, and a few will be available for sale for anyone who would like to have one. They will be $8-$10, depending on the size, however we cannot guarantee t-shirts on the day of the race without your reservation and size. BIG NEWS: We will be giving away a flat screen TV, along with other nice door prizes to those who participate in the race or walks, so dust off your shoes and get out there and just do it! You can register for the 5K at the Women's Ministry table at both campuses, or by printing a copy of the waiver at isbc.org, or go to active.com if you prefer to register by credit card. For the 3K Walk and Kids' events, we need a race form and waiver for you as well. You cannot register for the 3K with active.com. You will need to print the form or do it at church. We need waivers for each child as well. If we have a waiver, you are automatically included in the meal count. For other meal reservations, call the church receptionist at 323-2187. This is a great event. Bring your friends and family, too. There will be inflatables for the kids, and volunteers to monitor them.
HOLIDAY DINNER UPDATE
Saturday evening, November 17th at MeadowView. We need 7 more table hostesses. Linens, dishes, flatware, and glasses are provided by MeadowView, or you can bring your own. All you need to do is a tablescape and a small favor for your table guests. Call or e-mail Pam Archer, 292-9418 afcpam@gmail.com (You get a free ticket for hosting.)
