District Leadership Meeting - Crossroads



Last night churches gathered in the Middle Tennessee districts 11-13 at the Crossroads church for the District Leadership conference. To say the building was filled would be an understatement. After the sanctuary pews were filled, chairs were brought out in the back, along the sides and near the front, and the worship team remained on the stage area due to the need for seating. Even as the sanctuary was filled, there were others who were a part of the service through closed circuit systems in the church building.

There was a great worship service led by the Crossroads worship team, and the drama team from Baggett's Chapel ministered as well. District Presbyter, Bishop Gary Riley did a great job of moderating the service, and after the message, there was a great time of ministry in the altar area. To God be the glory!

The next service is scheduled for the Murfreesboro area next Sunday night at 6:00 p.m., where Bishop F. Leon Graves will moderate the the State bishop will again bring the message. We are expecting a large crowd there as well. Please join us for these great times of worship, fellowship and ministry of the word.

Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He...
