TRANSCRIPT
Children Our well supervised Nursery and Children’s programs offer a warm and caring atmosphere. The nursery and pre-school classrooms are located along the entry hallway and Junior Church for 1st -5th graders is upstairs.
Communion Jesus gave this memorial to remind us of the price He paid for our sins – death on a cross. Christians are invited to meditate on God’s love and grace as they participate.
Offering We give out of our love for God to support His work here on earth. If you are a guest we welcome you to express your gratitude but do not feel pressured.
Decisions At the end of the service an invitation is extended and is an opportunity for you to walk forward to accept Jesus as your Savior, rededicate your life, transfer your membership or ask for prayer and spiritual counsel.
Baptism Immersion in water pictures the death and burial of our old life without Jesus and the beginning of our new life as His follower. It is the moment when God’s grace unites with our faith providing forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit.
For your safety and the safety of our children, security recording devices are in use in this building. Please Note!!
Where are you? What is the next step YOU need to take to grow closer to Christ and increase your involvement at Towne South?

Children’s Christmas Program Yay!!! We had a great start this past week with this year’s Children’s Christmas Musical, The Night Shift Before Christmas. If your children were not able to make it, it is not too late to get involved! We will have practices on most Wednesday and Friday evenings. We need all the kids at as many of the practices as possible. The kids need to bring their script notebooks back if they took them home. If you have any questions, please contact Sissy Giffin at [email protected] or 619-2592.
Men’s Bible Study The men at Towne South gather two times during the week to study and fellowship around God’s word. One group meets on Wednesday mornings at 6:15 am (Hebrews) and our second group meets on Saturday mornings from 8-9 am (Revolutionary Manhood). Join us as we learn how to help each other become more consistent and godlier men. These meetings are open to all men!
Men’s Ministry
Fall Family Fest - Many Volunteers Still Needed – Sign Up Today ! This is a wonderful opportunity for us to reach out to our community! Towne South invites all families out on Sunday, November 8th from 6-8pm for fall festivities with family and friends. The menu will consist of a variety of hot soups, chili, crackers, and hotdogs. The festivities will include carnival type games throughout the building, as well as outdoor activities which include hayrides, inflatables and a bond fire for roasting (yum…smores). Hey, why not get one more use out of that costume? We invite the children to dress in costume, if they’d like. Please, nothing evil.
We need plenty of folks to help prepare soups and chili, as well as those who will oversee the games. Please check out the back table and find a spot to share and serve for this community outreach event. Any questions, please contact Sissy at [email protected] or 338-2248. Also, there are flyers available on the sign-up table that you can use to invite your friends, family, co-workers, etc.!
Discovery 101 – November 9 & 16 If you’ve been visiting with us and want to know more about the Towne South Church of Christ, if you’ve been thinking about membership at Towne South, or if you’ve never attended the Discovery 101 class, let me encourage you to do so. Our goal is to eventually have every member and attendee complete this class. If you want to discover more about living the Christian life, some of our basic beliefs, and Towne South’s over-all plan and strategy, then this class is for you. Please sign up at the welcome center or online at http://tscoc.com/#/get-connected. The class begins at 6:00. Supper will be provided.
Financial Planning Seminar Here On November 23 Want to know which states will probate your estate when valued as little as $10,000? Which tax on your estate is 40%? Is it true that the amount my children inherit from me can become public information? What is the one and only way I can avoid my IRA or 401K being taxed?
FPM seminars provide a wealth of useable, practical and verifiable information, helping our members avoid unnecessary and sometimes devastating consequences with just some simple pre-planning. We will show you how to get it done. And because we do not sell anything, you can leave your checkbook at home.
The seminar will be at Towne South on Monday evening, November 23, at 7pm. Information will be provided by Financial Planning Ministry.
Christian Life Coaching Available A Christian Life Coach helps people who may be stuck in their lives and unsure of exactly what direction to take. A trained life coach has many tools to help you determine your next step toward a more fulfilled life. If you are not sure if your problem is something a life coach can help with, please ask.
