In-Person Worship Gatherings

We have decided to bring all worship services indoors. We will now have an 8:00 a.m. and a 10:00 a.m. worship service in the Auditorium and a 3:00 p.m. worship service also in the Auditorium.

As we continue to love each other and our neighbor, we require that everyone attending an in-person worship gathering wear a mask and respect physical distancing of at least 6 feet while on campus. Keeping each other safe is very important to us. We hope you and your family choose to join us on Sundays at 8:00 or 10:00 a.m. in the Auditorium, online at 10:00 a.m., or at 3:00 p.m. in the Auditorium as we gather to worship God the Father.

Invitation to Honor "Miss Theresa"

Join us in honoring the many hours of loving dedicated service given by Theresa Jordan, who will be stepping down as White Station’s Children’s Minister on October 31st. Theresa’s heart, mission, and ministry has been and always will be about the nurture of children and young families at White Station and in our community. We are providing a way to honor Theresa through an opportunity to give to Agape whose mission is the care of children and families. If you would like to express your appreciation for Theresa and her dedication to our families and kids, you can go to this link to contribute in her name: https://agapemeanslove.org/donate/.

DCS Christmas Party

For the past several years White Station has hosted a Christmas Party for children in foster care in Shelby County.  Just like many other events this year our, DCS party will look very different, but we still want to ensure that each child is blessed this Christmas with a RED TUB!  We have committed again to 70 tubs!  I realize with limited in person services this is a BIG Goal, but I know from years past that we will step up to the task.  Be on the lookout next week for ways you can join in this year’s event and for a link to sign up for a tub!  Thanks again in advance for your help in making Christmas special for a child in our city!

Prayer Request from Colette Daugherty

Colette's request prayers on behalf of her brother, Remy Le Cardinal. He is back in the hospital and is not doing well. Because of COVID precautions and the distance to the hospital, Colette can't visit him as much as she would like to. He also has Alzheimer's so he doesn't always recognize family members when they do visit. Remy's wife, Yvette, is also in need of prayers as she is living alone while her husband is hospitalized. Please pray for Colette, her brother and sister-in-law during this difficult time.

Sympathy

Prayer Request on Behalf of Dr. Jim Wheless

Thank you all for praying for relief from the current pandemic, wisdom for those developing and testing new treatments and good health and calm for those in the health care field. In my 45 years of medicine I have never seen a time with so many anxious colleagues and co-workers at the hospital. They need to know they are being prayed for daily. Thanks for supporting in prayer these health professionals.
