FROM THE PASTOR
GOD KNOWS I dont know why the Lord allows the righteous to suffer. I dont know why he allows little children to suffer. But I can tell you what God promises you in his Word. Consider the beginning of Psalm 139. He pledges to all who call on his name: I know you! You are never out of my mind (Verse 1). I monitor your . ever move. I know every thought you think (Verse 2). I have you covered at all times (Verse 3). My very hand is upon you (Verse 5). There is no place in heaven or earth you can escape my Spirit (Verse 7). You may think my Spirit is not with you, but he is always there (Verse 8). When darkness trie s to hide me from your eyes, I will break through the darkness (Verse 12). I loved you and covered you even in your mothers womb (Verse13). I saw the substance of your being before you were born (Verse 15). And Ive had precious thoughts toward you from then until now (Verse 17). You cannot begin to number the good thoughts God has toward you, even now. Be encouraged: He is with you in your situation, no matter how intense it may get. You have a faithful knowing companion in your pain. Yes, God knows!

Lindas dad, Lawrence Walker passed away late Sunday evening. The visitation & funeral was on Tuesday evening from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. with funeral at 7:00 p.m. Burial was on Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. at Hamblen Memorial Gardens. Please keep Linda in your prayers. ___________ BENEVOLENCE FUND The Benevolence Fund is a fund to help people in need, especially our church family. We helped in the amount of $9,682.07 in the year of 2013. Most of this was for members of our church family that had special needs. Already in 2014 we have given $2,716.00. As you can see this has left our Benevolence Fund almost empty. If you feel that you would like to help replenish this fund, please make checks to the church with notation for Benevolence Fund. Thanks, Shirley Jones!
