Shepherds’ Notes

             Once again, we are approaching the end of summer.  Cooler weather is just around the corner, but we also know how tricky Tennessee weather is, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we have a few more really hot days!  We are certain, however, that God is in control!  Genesis 8:22 “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.”(ESV)

With the Fall season comes lots of activities and opportunities to fellowship.  Today, in particular, we want to be mindful of a good number of our folks traveling for the Fall Camping Trip and our Ladies that are attending the Transform Ladies’ Conference in East Tennessee and pray for a safe return for everyone.

Our Primetimers are planning a trip to Granville on September 21st, our Fall Fellowship is on October 27th, and our Annual Gospel Singing is scheduled for November 8th.  Please keep an eye on the bulletin and News and Notes to stay on top of all our activities and opportunities to get involved in the Lord’s work.

Our theme this year has been “Equip” and we have had lessons and classes on equipping the saints for service in God’s kingdom.  We would encourage you to find an area of service or an activity that gets you more involved in the work here at Walter Hill.  Also, look for opportunities to spread the gospel all around you!  Jesus says in Matthew 9:37-38 “Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” (ESV)  As we look forward to the change in seasons, let’s remember that our mission is to make disciples.  We are all commanded to be laborers in the Lord’s harvest and bring the Gospel of Christ to those that are lost.  

As we enter the harvest season, let’s commit ourselves to be a laborer in the fields and spread the Word!
