NEW CLASS YEAR - AUGUST 21, 2011

NEW CLASS YEAR - AUGUST 21, 2011

We are beginning a new class year next Sunday, August 21, 2011 and we will be kicking off a study of The Book of Acts.
This is a wonderful time to jump back into class after a busy summer. Everyone has missed some here and there, so if you feel like you have been out a bit, don't worry, everyone else has as well.....just come back next Sunday and join in.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2011 Saturday is our 3rd annual, FLAPJACK FEST 2011. Eric Martin and Gary Douglas are coordinating this fantastic fellowship. This event takes place at Cades Cove....bicycle around the loop early 7-7:30 start time or just show up at 10A.M. to eat Pancakes! We have had a blast the last two years with this event.

I am so EXCITED about our class and how I see God working.

Please consider how you might serve and pray for God to move people to leadership and ministry in our class.

A very special THANK YOU to Mike Dennison (click to email) for leading in the position of class director/assistant teacher.
If you would like to serve in any capacity, Mike will get you plugged-in.

• We are in need of someone with a heart for missions/service to help coordinate ministry opportunities for the class as the Outreach Director. Thank you also to Teresa Carr who has volunteered to help with Outreach by contacting guests, prospects and members with cards, etc. The Outreach Director will set a schedule for the class to reach out in the community to serve in missions , ie. going to soup kitchen to serve a meal, etc.
  
• We need Care Group leaders. This is a CRITICAL position to keep people connected in our class and church. The number one job is pray for your group throughout the week. Make contact with your group members, especially if a member is absent for couple weeks. Ask someone to pray in group circle. 100% attendance certainly isn't expected, just have an assistant in place to lead in your absence.
  
• Paige will gladly apprentice someone to be the Information Coordinator. Paige will continue to reach out to meet visitors, but someone to help with maintaining the actual paperwork would be wonderful. This is another vital role to ensure contact information and attendance is gathered and communicated to the church office. There are only 3 main church forms to understand and they can be easily understood.

We are serving a truly AWESOME GOD and ministry in our Bible Fellowship is KINGDOM WORK. Thanks, Ken
