I read a story of a missionary in Africa who received a knock on the door of his hut one afternoon. Answering, the missionary found a native boy holding a large !sh in his hands. The boy said, "Reverend, you taught us what tithing is, so here. I've brought you my tithe." As the missionary gratefully took the !sh,he questioned the boy, "If this is your tithe, where are the other nine !sh?" At this, the boy beamed and said, "Oh, they're still back in the river. I'm going back to catch them now." That is true generosity, faithful living, and a desire to give to God !rst.
God has entrusted so many blessings with His generosity, our giving back to Him should result in great joy and continued blessings. It is time to get on board with the work of God’s Kingdom at Taylor Road Baptist Church.
Commitment Sunday is the !rst Sunday of October and the last day of October is Taylor Road Treats the Town, our fall festival. As we are becoming generous followers of Christ in our tithes and o"erings may we also be generous in giving of our time. In fact, we want to be generous in every area of our lives because He has been so generous to us.
Bring your commitment cards on October 2, and on October 31 reach out with your fellow Bible Study members and minister to the precious children of Montgomery through Taylor Road Treats the Town.
You will be blessed,

Missions Guatemala 2011
Please remember to Pray for our mission team of Ron and Jenimae Beckham, Conrad Missildine,Mark Chandler, Katie Bowden, Toney Hood, Russell Deanand Dean Finch during the dates of October 1-8.
They are representing Taylor Road Baptist Church to people needing to hear the gospel in Guatemala. They are working with Southern Baptist missionaries there.
Women on MissionThe Women on Mission Program at Taylor Road is back at work and serving the Lord. Our September project was a tremendous success. We provided newborn clothing and diapers to the Hands of Christ Ministry Center. Teri McDonald, Director of the Center, spoke to our WOM group and explained how the Center uses these newborn kits to spread the gospel. Thank you to all the women who so generously contributed to this special ministry.
Two projects are planned for October 13. One group will prepare lunch for students at the Baptist Campus Ministry at AUM and another group of women will meet at Taylor Road and prepare casseroles for Meals on Wheels and the Cancer Center. Ladies, please join us as we share God’s love in our community.

The Music Ministry of Taylor Road Baptist Church is running full speed ahead and on all cylinders for this fall semester of the graded music program.
Please remember to be lifting up these teachers in prayer:
4yrs – 5yrs: April Dozier (lead instructor), Jason Till (instructor)1st – 3rd grade: Tracy Johnson (lead instructor), Betty Gallops (instructor)4th – 6th grade: Jessica Gamble (lead instructor), Duane Kinsaul (instructor)
Each of the classes have been starting on time and the teachers have expressed their gratitude for all the parents who pick up their young musicians in a timely manner.____
The Student Praise Band has been leading the Wednesday evening worship e!ectively. They have met many of their goals and will be working toward leading a Sunday evening worship service in the near future. Please continue to pray for them.____
The Taylor Road Handbell Choir, who meet each Sunday evening at 4:15 p.m. in room B202, added some new players this semester and have already started rehearsing some seasonal tunes. The bell playing will bring a smile to your face if you "nd yourself walking through the upstairs hallway.
The Adult Choir, which rehearses regularly on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m., is looking for new recruits that may be willing to sing in the Christmas program this year. This is ideal for those singers who may be able to make a shorter commitment rather than be active for the entire church year. The music has already been selected, a leadership team has been assembled, and demonstration CD’s could be available by next week.

Now is the time to get those shoeboxes ready and "lled for children around the world. We want to make a di!erence for these children not only with small material items but more importantly with the gospel tract that they will receive in their boxes. Our goal for this year is at least 200 boxes.
So begin now getting your shoeboxes together and collecting items to "ll them. Packing guides are available now in the o#ce and in the foyer. Our collection dates are November 14 - 21.
The Book Fair will be October 2 – 9, 2011. We appreciate your support of the Media Library in purchasing books to donate to the Media Library keeping it current with the latest books. The books will be displayed in the grand foyer of the church. Remember, you can donate a book(s) in memory or in honor of someone, and your gift is tax deductible.

Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” Matthew 9:37-38 nkjv.
I am reminded of this verse each Fall as I like to ride by farms and see the cotton, tomatoes, hay, pumpkins and other crops being harvested. The smells bring pleasant memories of Falls past.
I know that during these times farmers don’t have enough hands to gather the crops. Food that could be used to feed people is rotting on the stalks. I have always thought this was a sad sight.
There are people all around who have never heard the Gospel of Jesus and yet are desperately seeking the answers to life. Who has God placed in your life that needs to know the Good news? Tell them today; it is harvest time.
Taylor Road Baptist Church will again have an alternative to Halloween, Monday, October 31. This can be a harvest time to share our bountiful crops.
Dream Field Farms & Pumpkin patch trip is October 12 (www.dream!eldfarms.com).We will leave the church at 9:15 and return at 12:15.Cost is $10.00 for children and $5.00 for chaperones. You will need to bring a sack lunch. For more information call the preschool o"ce (271-0845) or email [email protected].
We love Autumn—the crispness in the air, the smell of the falling leaves, sweater vests. Fall is a wonderful time to relax before the Holiday rush. We hope that you take some time to enjoy some cool Fall fun with your family—an after dinner walk, a family campout, or just a S’mores night around a small !re. Take a moment to use this change in weather to remind your family the truth of John 12:24 nkjv, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.”
October also means that it is time for Taylor Road Treats the Town. This one event is a special time that allows our church body to function together as we greet our neighbors and guests. We hope that you are already making plans for your class to be involved in this year’s event. We truly feel that it is a time when our church family can come together and show our community how much we love them. We have been truly blessed each year by your willingness to go above and beyond in your involvement.
This year’s event will feature many of our classic games and attractions; however, we are excited by a new vision. We want every family to go home not only with enough candy to last a fortnight but also with a plan for how to strengthen their family by adapting some of these games for fun and easy family night events at home. Parents will be given instructions on how to play these games with some household items and then how to use the events to open spiritual discussion in their family.
We are looking forward to this new twist and seeing how God can use this to bring families closer together. We thank you in advance for your commitment to making this Taylor Road Treats the Town the most in#uential one yet.

5studentsGood day all, October holds several large events that I want you to be aware of.
First, on October 5, we will be joining other churches and FCA groups on Trinity's football !eld for Fields of Faith. Last year there was a large group of students that made Christ the Lord of their lives. We will meet at Trinity at 6:00 p.m. We are looking forward to see how God will move this year in the midst of close to a thousand students.
Second, on October 16, we will have Taylorgating. Our students will be set up in the front of the student center in their colors. We will grill out hamburgers and hotdogs. This is always a great time of food, fellowship, and football. Also, it is a great opportunity to bring friends. Let's see who all the die hard fans are. I can't wait!
Lastly, October 31 is our Taylor Road Treats the Town, and our traditional Pumpkin Bowling. Students will help in all areas of Taylor Road treats the town from 6-8 p.m. and then follow up with our "After Dark" event , Pumpkin Bowling, from 8-10 p.m. Pumpkin bowling is another great opportunity for students to invite friends. Everyone bring your own pumpkin and test your skills. It's going to be a great time.
Have a great month,
