January 14th – January 21st Announcements
We’re excited to share that we have moved to a new online giving software called Subsplash. If you are currently giving online, we need your help to move with us and update your recurring tithe with our new service. The new platform is designed to be convenient, easy, and secure for one-time and recurring donations. You will simply need to set up a new login the first time you use it. As always, if you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact the church office at 931-879-6177. Thank you for your faithful and continued support. The link to the new giving form is live on the website and church app. Click here for a direct payment link.

The meeting will take place in the sanctuary immediately after service.

Project Bible Runners- The Bagwell family will be traveling up north to deliver Bibles to our friends with Project Bible Runners. If you have extra Bibles you’d like to donate for delivery worldwide, please drop them in the bin by the admin office. We collect Bibles year-round for this ministry, so if you come across any at a yard sale or thrift store, we’d love to pass them along to the Sweitzer family for this impactful mission.
