On Saturday, August 21, 2010 over 100 volunteers from Green Forest Baptist, First Baptist Decatur, Smoke Rise Baptist, and Cornerstone Church of Grayson joined Edgewood Church in going door-to-door in the Edgewood neighborhood inviting people to Edgewood Church's first worship service and offering people a loaf of bread as a gesture of God's love. Below are four of the stories that came out of this amazing day.
Smaller church pastors are invited to participate via computer at AMBA as Ed Stetzer and Thom Rainer discuss how small churches can apply elements revealed through LifeWay's "Transformational Church" initiative. Topics include vibrant leadership, relational intentionality, worship, and mission.
In addition to Stetzer and Rainer, an interdenominational panel of experts will discuss how small churches are making a biblical impact in the lives of their members and in their communities. The panelists will include David Gould, pastor of First Wesleyan Church, Nashville, Tenn.; Jason Whitehurst, pastor of Music City Assembly of God, Nashville, Tenn.; German Castro, pastor of El Shaddai Christian Church, Brentwood, Tenn.; John Racioppa, pastor of Westmoreland First Baptist Church, Westmoreland, Tenn.; Brian Bullard, pastor of Community Fellowship Baptist Church, Covington, Ga.; and Lynn Harper, pastor of Promised Land Missionary Baptist Church, Dallas.
Please let Joel Harrison (770.455.4877) know if you plan to attend.
