Scoops galore

scoop4.jpg

Scoops in a minute, but first, in case you missed it, TJI announced yesterday that our 2022 Daily Devotional guide and preaching resource will be His Family. This is a year long study about the church. We believe this is very needed and promises to be our best of this five volume series. We want to encourage every congregation to consider being a part of this study.

Notice: We talked to the preacher at the Waverly Church of Christ. A very good man. Jeff Keele. They have a multiple purpose building. He said it is already run over with food, water (we have more water than they do out west), clothing, diapers, toiletry items, etc. He said when they release people to start coming in to clean up they may need more and may need man-power, but he will keep us posted. He said if someone wants to send money: “Please ask people to mail any donations to Waverly Church of Christ and put Flood Relief on the For line. Our address is 438 West Main Street, Waverly TN 37185.”
