ESPECIALLY FOR OUR GUESTS
We are glad to have you worship with us today. You
are worshiping with people who experience the
same difficulties of life as you. We have nothing to
boast about except the God we worship. Please relax
and focus upon the Lord Jesus who loves you and
desires for you to follow Him. While God has surely
led you here, you likely still have a number of im-
portant questions about us; how to get more involved and connected in
meaningful relationships, or about your own personal or spiritual needs.
If so, please allow us to help you by completing the guest registration
inside the back cover or by coming forward during the invitation time.
—Ronnie W. Rogers

WEEK The New Testament
describes the role of
a deacon as a servant.
Deacons serve by
meeting needs so
elders can equip, and the church
body can be prepared to minister.
Needs can be someone’s car won’t
start after church, someone asks
for help, or any of a variety of
issues. For September 6-12, Harri-
son Pennel will be the Deacon of
the Week. You can locate him in

ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS
IN THEOLOGY
WHAT: Round Table Discussions are in-depth and interactive studies of
different areas of Christian belief and life, led by Ronnie W. Rogers.
WHY: To grow deeper in our understanding of God’s person, will, ways,
and works in order to experience a more meaningful relationship with Him and
effectiveness in engaging our culture.
WHEN: Begins September 22, 2015 through December 7, 2015 and resumes
February 1, 2016 through May 2, 2016. The class will be Tuesday morning
from 6:30 -7:30 a.m. The first Monday of the month, the RT group will meet at
the pastor’s home from 6:30 p.m.-10:00 p.m.
WHERE: The RT will meet weekly for an hour in the Pastor ’s study and
once a month at the pastor’s home for a light meal and an extended discussion.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE: Men who desire such discipling and commit to the
following:
(It is all in the name.)
1. Round Table: This means that your commitment to attend, participate,
and grow spiritually is like that of the knights of the Round Table—you
can miss the RT, or preparing for it, only if you die, but then only one
time will be considered excused and assignments will need to be made
up.
2. Discussions: Everyone who is a part of the RT must be engaged in the
discussions. Silence by a member of the RT is deemed worthy of slay-
ing by the verbal stilettos of his fellow RT members and/or forfeiting
his place at the Round Table.
3. Purchase of a Book: Each member is required to purchase the appropri-
ate text.
4. Ministering: Must be presently involved in ministering to people and
committed to use what you learn in the Round Table to help others
come to know Christ and follow Him.
a. Each Round Table is limited to one class of six members each.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED:
1. Sign up on the bulletin board in the south hall.
2. Those selected to participate will be notified after September 13th.

“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but

Book Recommendation
Onward: Engaging the Culture Without Losing the Gospel
by Russell Moore
As the culture changes all around us, it is no longer possible to pretend
that we are a Moral Majority. That may be bad news for America, but it
can be good news for the church. What's needed now, in shifting times,
is neither a doubling-down on the status quo nor a pullback into isola-
tion. Instead, we need a church that speaks to social and political issues
with a bigger vision in mind: that of the gospel of Jesus Christ. As
Christianity seems increasingly strange, and even subversive, to our
culture, we have the opportunity to reclaim the freakishness of the
gospel, which is what gives it its power in the first place.
We seek the kingdom of God before everything else. We connect that
kingdom agenda to the culture around us, both by speaking it to the
world and by showing it in our churches. As we do so, we remember
our mission to oppose demons, not to demonize opponents. As we advo-
cate for human dignity, for religious liberty, for family stability, let's do
so as those with a prophetic word that turns everything upside down.
The signs of the times tell us we are in for days our parents and grand-
parents never knew. But that's no call for panic or surrender or outrage.
Jesus is alive. Let's act like it. Let's follow Him, onward to the future.
