This past Friday, March 20th, marked the beginning of the Spring season. With this season comes a much busier schedule for many. During this time of year many of us spend more time on the go than we do at home. But with all the happenings of this season, let’s remember a few great opportunities we have as a spiritual family in the coming weeks.
This afternoon beginning at 4 p.m. is our annual Walter Hill Egg Hunt. This is always a fun event for our little ones. Many of you have already helped out in preparation for this special event by bringing filled eggs to be used in the hunt. We are excited about this event for all our children and look forward to watching them hunt eggs and have their picture taken with a very special guest.
April 3-5 is the annual Lads 2 Leaders weekend at the Opryland Hotel. Several of our young people have been preparing for this weekend over the last several months. Many of our kids and teens will be participating in this great event by leading singing, giving a speech, debating or participating in the Bible Bowl. Our Walter Hill kids have spent hours upon hours preparing for all the events they will be participating in. Please be in prayer for all of the participants, not just those from Walter Hill. It is such a blessing to see so many young people across the United States participating in such a great training program.
Lastly, the weekend of April 17-19 is going to be a great weekend. We have brother Dan Chambers from the Concord Road church of Christ in Brentwood, TN coming to be with us for our annual Gospel Meeting. Dan is a great preacher of God’s Word, and he will do a wonderful job of presenting truths from God’s Word. There will be a session on Friday and Saturday nights beginning at 7 p.m. and then we will have worship on Sunday at 9 a.m. followed by a combined adult Bible class in the auditorium at 10:30 a.m. We will not be having an evening service that day.
In addition to these events, the Walter Hill Youth, Young Families, Half Timers and Prime Timers also have various events and activities upcoming. So yes, spring is in full swing and our calendars are filling up fast. But we want each of you to be part of our family here at Walter Hill, so let’s not forget to take the opportunities we have to be together with God’s people, to encourage God’s people and to learn with God’s people.
