Request from International Offices

Greetings Tennessee Church Family!  Just in a few short months the 99th International Assembly will begin in Orlando, Florida. The last few Assemblies I have served on the Assembly Task Force to oversee the ushers, greeters, and security teams. One of the main focuses of my task, is to recruit many people to cover the locations and times of our needed volunteers to serve near 10,000 International delegates of the Church of God of Prophecy. With so many friends across Tennessee, I am asking for any of our people who will be at the Assembly and can serve for multiple services to please go to our website to register as a volunteer. From this registration we will schedule the three sessions each day.  As we are blessed to have the International Assembly not only in the United States but in the southeast, I ask that you consider the great privilege of serving our global church family during this international reunion. I promise you will be blessed during your time! Go To:  http

Momentum Retreat

Wow!  That's all I can say about the MOMENTUM retreat held this past weekend at Camp Hickory ( camphickoryhills.org ) near Dickson, Tennessee.  This "young-men's retreat was blessed with powerful sermons from Eric Washburn, Jeff Jones, Phil Minter.  The worship was equally compelling and encouraging.  I was given the opportunity to bring the retreat to a close on Sunday morning. Special thanks to the Matheny family for meal preparation and to the directors for their planning.  More will follow, and lots of photos are available at camphickoryhills.org
