TIME RUNNING OUT ON CARDS

Please remember to continue distributing our Class cards as you go about your daily activities. This year long project will end the last part of December. The calendar on the back expires at that time. Please see Joe or Brenda if you need more cards, additional packets are available.

NEW VIDEO

Please click on the "VIDEOS" button above on far right and check out the sermon video from Bill and Paula's son, Mark Satterfield. This is from First Baptist Hendersonville on 10/17. Clicking on his photo will take you to the same video but with a much larger screen.

CLASS PROJECT: EXTEND OUR REACH

If you think the Adults 4 Christ Sunday School Class is a quiet, un-involved bunch of middle aged couples, hidden away in a forgotten part of the 2nd floor. Then we suggest you think again! Never a group to shy away from projects that are difficult, lengthy, or expensive. They are a group that doesn't stand around waiting for someone to present projects or missions for their efforts. This class is pro-active and rarely goes for very long without discussing the options for their next adventure. Sometimes participating in more than 1 at a time. Plus they have their own "class business card" and this website, which has had visits from over two hundred foreign countries and received written correspondence from seven.

Joe and Brenda Steakley believe that from their little 2nd floor room, this class can have an impact on the world, and on Sunday 10/24 they presented to their members another opportunity to prove it. An amazing class project that is long term, requires a monthly cash investment, shares Christ, follows scripture, and falls in line with Bro. Andre"s goal of increasing the number of missions for 2011.

SPONSOR A CHILD
26,600 small children die everyday from preventable conditions due to poverty. It would be difficult if not impossible to find another project that would further the misson of our Lord than this one.

LADIES NIGHT OUT

SIPS AND STROKES HUGH SUCCESS
.
From the sound of things, Kim Morrow deserves a big pat on the back for setting up what appears to be the best night out ever for our class ladies. Paula Satterfield's excitement was evident as she explained how enjoyable and fun the evening had been. She is ready to go back! Her work of art is displayed in this article, and as you can see it is signed by the artist herself. A larger photo that shows off the detail of her brush stroke technique and her vivid color selection is available for viewing on Ebay. (Matching frame is extra)

BRO. ANDRE' RECOMMENDED READ

Radical : Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream

WHAT IS JESUS WORTH TO YOU?

It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily...

BUT WHO DO YOU KNOW WHO LIVES LIKE THAT? DO YOU?

In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple—then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus.

Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment —a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.
