It’s a time when we break away from the busyness of the week to rejuvenate our faith, connect with our church family, and nourish our souls with God’s Word. Midweek services provide an opportunity to delve deeper into the Scriptures, ask questions, and apply God’s truths to our daily lives.

We don’t need to preach to share the gospel; we simply need to have meaningful conversations.

Grief Share (Wed @ 6:30)
Led by Les & Angela Hayes
Location: A264
Grief Share is for people grieving the death of a family member or friend. It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now. If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel.
This can be a confusing time when you feel isolated and have many questions about things you’ve never faced before.
We understand that there are other losses in life that create feelings of grief. You might be experiencing a job loss, a divorce, estrangement from a child, or the loss of friends because of a move. This grief is real, but it is not the kind of grief discussed in Grief Share sessions.Contact the church office for more information at 901-872-2264. You may register online or at the connect desk.
Other weekly Opportunities
Messy People
Ladies group, Tue @ 9:30AM
Led by Timmie Wiginton
Location:Family Life Game Room Begins September 3rd.
Every life gets messy at times. Sometimes these messes are literal, but sometimes they are intangible messes such as illness, conflict, depression, abuse, bankruptcy, divorce, and job loss. These messes can be painful, hurting our hearts and our homes. But as we see in the Bible, God loves to use messy people! In this six-week study, Jennifer Cowart helps us dig into the lives of biblical heroes who were messy people just like us but who were used by God in powerful ways. As we examine the messy stories, we will learn how God can use broken people, restore damaged hearts and relationships, and help us deal with the hard moments of life. In the hands of God, our messes can become His masterpieces!
Book of James
Tuesdays @ 9:30AM
Led by Jeannie Ticer

Widows & Widowers
1st & 3rd Thursday of each month at 10:00AM
Led by Carl Cline and Betti Owens
Location:Family Life Center
Practical and straightforward, yet warm and compassionate, this group will be an encouragement to many, as grieving people often think something is wrong with them when their grief doesn’t proceed as neatly as planned and deal with multiple emotions all at one time. This support group is here to help address the issues grieving people face but are often hesitant to mention to others and desires to build one another up and be there for each other through their loss.
