What’s Happening??
What a great opportunity!
Ladies, please give your
money to Jean Rice and
she will take care of
purchasing our tickets.
Our church is preparing for a home missions outreach at the fair. Bears and
witness bracelets have already been turned into the Transylvania Baptist
Association. We have another group preparing cobblers for fair workers on Sept.
10th. We will also have evangelism and mission teams serving at the fair Sept.
17th. Please be in prayer for this multi-association mission project to reach souls
at the North Carolina Mountain State Fair!
Our church will have a special emphasis on growing in our relationship with
Christ. The 40 Hours Set Aside For Christ will be September 18-20th. We will
have Friday evening worship at 7pm. We will have two services Saturday at 11am
and 7p.m. We will conclude with our Enon Homecoming on Sunday at 11am. Our
guest speaker for this special event will be Evangelist Neal Hatfield, Director of
the Uplands Reach Conference Center!
Please be in prayer concerning this special time of spiritual focus...
Our Baptist Men have been busy working on our basement windows. They
recently held a special work day to remove the original windows. They will have
another work day in the near future to install the new windows. Our men would
like to thank again the ladies who prepared the delicious lunch. God truly
blessed everyone involved in the project

1 Corinthians 15:22
“For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.”
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Fall! The brisk air, the fall walks in sweaters, the coffee with
Upcoming NC
Missions Offering
Pumpkin Spice creamer, the crunch of leaves under your feet.
A skeptic might say, “Yeah, they crunch because they’re dying.” Maybe so, but I
prefer to think of 1 Corinthians 15:22 when I think of fall. Yes, just like Adam, old
things are dying, but, again just like those of us in Christ, they will all be made
alive again in the spring. We who believe have an advantage though – we don’t
have to wait till spring for our renewal! It comes as soon as we accept Jesus as
our Savior.
Fall is the beginning of renewal in nature, not just the end of a season. As you
enjoy the season, remember to live your Christian faith as a renewed spirit.

Words for Misfits by Max Lucado
1 Samuel 16:7 says, “. . .man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord
looks at the heart.” Those words were written for misfits and outcasts. God
uses them all. Moses ran from justice, but God used him. Jonah ran from God,
but God used him. Rahab ran a brothel; Sarah ran out of hope; Lot ran with
the wrong crowd; but God used them all. And David? Human eyes saw a
gangly teenager, smelling like sheep. Yet the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him, for
this is the one!” (1 Samuel 16:12).
God saw what no one else saw— a God-seeking heart. David took after God’s
heart, because he stayed after God’s heart. In the end, that is all God wants or
needs. Others measure your waist size or wallet. Not God. He examines
hearts. When he finds one set on Him, He calls it and claims it.
