"Be
It Ever So Humble”
Paul had to deal with much opposition when he talked
about Jesus. He was even placed in prison for his teaching and preaching
in the name of Jesus. Paul knows that the Spirit of Christ can unify a
diverse community of believers. He pleads with the Philippians to place
others above their own selfish desires and allow Christ Jesus to guide
and direct them. When Christ is present to direct we can move forward
with confidence and humility. It is not easy to humble oneself.
Sunday we will look at emptying ourselves to give Christ first place in
our hearts. What does it mean to be humble? Come and see what Paul told
the Philippians and how he challenges us today. Come and receive a
blessing.
Blessings,
September
Planned

lot at 9:30 a.m. to head to Knoxville for some shopping time followed by lunch
at 11:30 at the Downtown Grill and Brewery. Each person will order from the menu
and pay for their own lunch. Upon our return we will collect money for gas.

Sunday’s
Anthem Theme: Humility
This Sunday the Chancel Choir will sing Kyrie eleison set
by Dana Mengel. This text is the opening of the traditional Christian service
and was normally set in Greek. It prepares us for worship through words of
humbleness – Lord, have mercy; Christ, have mercy. We acknowledge that God
guides our lives and we must give ourselves to His will if we are to truly be
His disciples. God sent His Son to humble himself before the world. It is
through His life on earth that we understand how God would have us live as His
disciples, and through His sacrifice on the cross that we gain the promise of
eternal life.
Fast Approaches
Begin thinking about ways you would like to participate in Broadway’s

display by 10,000 Villages, a cooperative effort between Broadway and
the Blount County Ecumenical Council. Plan now to volunteer for this
great weekend of fun, entertainment, and outreach.

Want To Know More About
Wheat and Oak Ridge
Don Watson has made available 3 DVD’s that he has concerning the history
of Wheat, where he grew up, and it’s incorporation into the Manhattan
Project at Oak Ridge. They include annual home comings of former
residents of Wheat held there each October, another about the whole
transformation of the area during World War II, and finally the
Heartland Series episode in which Don takes Bill Landry back into what
remains of the old home place.
Don would like to allow anyone who would like to borrow these to view
them and return them. They will be available in the church library on
the cupboard to the left of the door. Please sign your name, and the
date you borrow them. When you return them, sign them in on the small
notebook on the library table. He asks that they be kept together.
Those who attended the recent trip to Wheat and the museum got a taste
