Shared Blessings is when we will gather at the Midtown church of Christ building on Union Avenue to assemble boxes of groceries for Thanksgiving meals for at least 200 families. Each year, Midtown and the Raleigh Springs church of Christ receive calls from families who are in need. We will be collecting money this year, the exact price of which has yet to be determined. Each box has food for eight family members. The cost has usually been around $25 each. We will have a devotional together after all the boxes are assembled.

Kirk Brothers, President of Heritage Christian University and preacher of the gospel will be with us for our one day meeting. Kirk will be speaking at all of our services, including the adult Bible Classes, which will meet in the auditorium on this day. The theme for the day is “Come to the Mountain.” He will be speaking of the ‘Mountains of the Messiah’ in which Jesus speaks powerful lessons from various mountains. These will include the Mount of Temptation, the Mount of Transfiguration, and the Calvary Mountain.

This is a free community event held at our building, so be sure to invite your friends. We will have a trunk-or-treat, food, candy, inflatables, face painting, hayrides, and games.

Our second “Journey of Faith” area wide worship service is scheduled for Sunday evening, October 5 at our building. Our speakers are Raphael Hubbard, who lives in Olive Branch, but preaches at the Coldwater, MS church of Christ, and Dana Baldwin, who preaches at the Park Avenue church of Christ. Our song leaders will be James Currie from the Midtown church of Christ and Howard Howell from the Millington church of Christ. We again plan to begin at 5:00 pm and end at 6:15 pm, with refreshments (cookies, coffee and tea) in the fellowship hall.

Join us at the Patterson’s for our annual congregational picnic. The event starts at 4:00 with fishing, a petting zoo, and train rides. The meal will begin around 5:30. It is a catered meal and there is no cost.  There will also be a hayride later following the meal. Members need to sign up in the Adult Bible Class or in the south hallway.  While there is no cost, we need to know how many will be attending so there will be plenty of food.

Sponsored by Sunset International Bible Institute, we are invited to hear of the distribution of food taking place during war times in Ukraine and all across Europe. We’ll hear about how 7000 people are being fed every single day. Brandon Price, the Director of the Ukrainian Bible Institute will be speaking, as well as Natasha Maluga on how she is coordinating the efforts of all the groups making contributions and all the workers directing the resources to the places in most need.

Lovell Hays, from the East Jackson Church of Christ in Jackson, TN will be speaking at all of our services, including the morning teen and adult Bible class. Brother Hays spoke at a recent ‘Journey of Faith’ area wide service, and we arranged for him to come back to speak. All are invited.
