Woodlawn

Woodlawn is a true story about a high school football team in Birmingham, Alabama during the early days of integration.  A chaplain gave a pep talk to the team sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ and all but 3 players trusted Christ.  Eventually the head coach also was saved.  It’s a story about Tony Anthony and his journey along with the team as that meeting not galvanized the team, but impacted the entire school including their cross-town rival.

The movie will start at 6:30 p.m.  Snacks will be provided.  Whether you enjoy football or not, this is a great inspiring movie for the whole family.

A Fast Prayer

10-16 Daniel 9:1-19 The focus of this message is a call for Christians to pray for our nation using the prayer of Daniel as a model.  Daniel was deeply troubled by the vision he saw in chapter 8 and he set about to find an answer through the study of God’s Word and prayer.  He spent time fasting.  Leading up to the election, this is a call for us to unite in prayer and if possible, include fasting as a means of calling on God’s mercy and forgiveness to restore our land.

Greet One Another

10-02-romans-16-3-16 How important are greetings?  I think Paul would say they are very important as they demonstrate the kind of relationship we have in the body of Christ.  A body that is in unity will show an affection in how they greet each other.  Paul adds that we should greet one another with a holy kiss.  Take something ordinary and make it extraordinary, God centered.  It should be sincere, sensitive, and sacred.  How we greet each other is a strong testimony to the outside world of our relationship with Christ evidenced in those greetings.  In what ever way we greet each other it should be personal and pure.
