Daily Update

Continue in your daily prayers:
Congratulations to June & Carter Ashby on the birth of their son, Theodore James, who was born Monday, September 21. Franklin Ashby is the proud big brother. Today, Theodore is at Vanderbilt NICU to receive a greater level of care to help with his breathing. This is not an emergency, but June and Carter appreciate your prayers.

Sonya Haney requests prayers for a lithotripsy procedure done on Thursday for her kidney stone. Please pray for successful healing and recovery.

Anne Hubbard requests our prayers as she is suffering from severe cellulitis in her leg. Pray for healing so she does not need to be hospitalized.

Ken Clark is at home resting and recovering from open heart surgery. Please continue to remember him in prayer.

Thank You: Thanks to all who helped make the 2026 Fall Fellowship at Fowler Farms a resounding success! A shout out goes to all those who contributed...the pre-event advertising (sign-up sheets), the cooks who provided a bountiful pot luck meal, the Back Roads Band who entertained with superb music, the kettle corn, the "petting the cows therapy" rides, the parking lot attendant, the ATV pick up and delivery driver, the photo booth crew, the bounce houses, the preparation and clean-up crew, etc. There are many volunteers who have a part in this event. Kudos. To God be the glory! Public service announcement: There are soup ladles and serving spoons to be claimed outside room 115. And lastly, one cute pair of tiny shoes were lost and found! Doug & Mae Fowler

Shut-In Ministry: We are looking for volunteers to help with a shut-in program. If anyone is interested in participating or would like more information, reach out to Kevin (931-252-0411) or Elizabeth (931-252-2099) Marengo.

Budget Time: Glenn is asking that deacons and ministry leaders start their budget process. Please have the final draft by October 18.  Your 2026 expenditures are in your boxes.

Daily Bible Reading: Here's the link to today’s Bible reading: September 25: I Corinthians 11-12

Bedding Drive: Sleep in Heavenly Peace is in desperate need of twin size bedding. We are hosting a bedding drive for new twin sized sheets, mattress covers and comforter sets. A basket is in the lobby for your donations. October 15 is the deadline to donate.

Food to the Rescue: We are collecting 16oz jars of peanut butter for the month of September for the Spread the Love campaign. Bins are set up in the front and back foyers.

Free Books: There is a cart with free books located near the secretaries' offices. Please help yourself to as many as you like. Please note: These books are a work of Christian literature and may be helpful for personal study. However, these books are not a substitute for the Bible. Readers are encouraged to compare the content with Scripture and consult a minister for guidance.(andy@jacoc.org)
