Congregational Meeting: The Session previously invited the congregation to submit
names for nomination for the offices of ruling elder and deacon. Whyndell Grizzard
was nominated for the office of Deacon and has received instruction in the
qualifications and work of such office, and, having recently completed that training, the
Session has determined him to be eligible to stand for election as Deacon. The Session
has scheduled a congregational meeting for October 25, 2026, for the purpose of
conducting an election for that purpose.
WMW Bible Study: The Fall Ladies Bible Study will meet this week on October 6th with
a morning study (10:00 AM) and an evening study (7:00 PM). Both studies meet in the
Fellowship Hall. We will be studying Trusting God by Jerry Bridges. Bridges will teach
us to “explore the scope of God’s power over nations, and even the details of your
life, you will find yourself trusting Him more completely – even when life hurts”.
Sign up is on the bulletin board in the Narthex.
Pastors’ Appreciation Sunday: Join us on October 18th for Pastors’ Appreciation
Sunday. We will meet in the Fellowship Hall immediately following our morning
Worship service for refreshments and to celebrate God’s goodness to our church family
by giving us Pastor Wes and Pastor Jeremy.
Covenant Kids: Did you know that we have a prayer program for our Covenant Kids?
Each year, members of our church family have the opportunity to commit to praying
for a specific Covenant Child throughout the year. What a wonderful way to surround
our children with prayer and remind them that they are loved and supported by their
church family! If you have children or grandchildren from birth through their first year
of college and would like them to have a prayer partner, please sign them up on the
Women’s Bulletin Board in the Narthex. If you would be willing to serve as a prayer
partner and faithfully pray for one of our Covenant Kids during the coming year, we
would love for you to sign up as well! Our goal is for every Covenant Child to have a
prayer partner. Please help us make that happen! Sign-ups will close Sunday, October
4.
Delightful Dinners: We will be having another round of Delightful Dinners where
families host dinner in their homes and all others will be guests in one of these homes.
It is a wonderful time of food and fellowship. There is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin
board in the Narthex. If you have any other questions, please call the church office at
(813)689-6541. The next dinner is scheduled for October 24 th .
Secret Sister: Our Secret Sister program is returning! After taking last year off, we’re
excited to bring this special tradition back to our Women’s Ministry this year. Secret
Sister is an opportunity to get to know and encourage another woman in our church
family. You’ll be given information about your Secret Sister and spend the coming year
praying for her, encouraging her, and finding small ways to bless her throughout the
year. This isn’t about spending money or buying gifts all year long. There are so many
meaningful ways to minister to your Secret Sister that don’t cost a thing — a
handwritten note, a thoughtful message, a prayer, or simply letting her know you’re
thinking of her all while keeping it a secret. We’ll reveal our Secret Sisters at the Get
Acquainted Brunch next September. If you’d like to participate, sign up on the
Women’s Ministry Bulletin Board in the Narthex. Sign-ups will close Sunday, October 4.
