News:
Join Us for Easter Sunday March 31
March 31 is Easter Sunday this year. If you do not have a home church or are looking for a new one, this would be a great time for you to visit us. We have Sunday school classes for everyone beginning at 9:30 a.m. The morning worship service begins at 10:30 a.m., and we have a staffed nursery for babies and preschool children. Our new pastor, Josh McKinney, will be preaching the message. Please join us on Easter and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ!
No Sermon Recording for March 10
We are unable to post the sermon from today, March 10; there was no recording due to technical issues. The title was “Grace Growing,” and Pastor Josh continued preaching through the book of Ruth. You may want to read and study the scripture reference, Ruth 2:10-13.
We hope the issue will be fixed by next week. Also, the web administrator will be unavailable to prepare the file for uploading until the following week, so please check back between March 27 and 29 for the next update. Thank you for your patience.
Chocolate Candy Easter Egg Sale!
Our ladies group will be having their chocolate candy Easter egg sale again this year. They will be selling both peanut butter and coconut flavored eggs after church on Sunday, March 17, and again on Sunday, March 24. The price will be your donation, and the proceeds will be used to support missionaries.
Video of the Month for March
We have updated our Video of the Month page (under the “More” menu) for March. Easter Sunday is the last day of this month, so we are featuring two music videos with Good Friday and Easter themes. The first song is “Via Dolorosa” by Sandi Patty, with pictures from the movie “The Passion of the Christ. This is a reminder of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and how He willingly suffered because He loves us so much.
The second song is by a group called The Erwins and is entitled “The Power of an Empty Tomb.” This reminds us of Christ’s resurrection and also of His power to bring us out of the darkness of sin and heal our spirits when we turn to Him.
Welcome New Pastor Rev. Josh McKinney!
Fellowship Church would like to extend a warm welcome to our new pastor, Rev. Josh McKinney. Pastor Josh grew up in our church and eventually felt the call to ministry. He left us to become pastor at another church, where he served faithfully for the past nine years. Now he is coming home to lead us here at Fellowship! We are excited to have him back and are looking forward to seeing how the Lord will use Josh as he leads us!
God’s Man Conference 2024
The God’s Man Conference will be held again this year at Evergreen Free Will Baptist Church in Erwin, TN, on March 22-23. More information can be found on Evergreen Church’s website, here. Our church will pay the registration fee for any of our men who want to attend; a sign-up sheet is in our church foyer.
Spring Retreat – March 25-27
The Tennessee State Association of Free Will Baptists has announced that the “Spring Retreat” for 2024 will be held from March 25-27. The retreat is now the “2024 Legacy Conference—A Spring Retreat for Senior Adults” and will be held in Greeneville, Tennessee, at the historic General Morgan Inn. The featured speakers will be a father-son ministry team, Terry and Jon Forrest. Conference tickets include the conference, a full breakfast on both mornings, and a delicious dessert each night. Lodging reservations must be made directly with the hotel. More information and online registration is available at the following link: https://tnfwb.org/legacy/. That web page also has the phone number to call the hotel for your room reservation as well as a link to the hotel’s website.
Old Sermons from 2016
In order to free up some file space, we have deleted the “Sermons 2016” page. However, we moved several of those sermons to our “Selected Older Sermons” page. We will eventually be doing that with the other old sermon pages. If you have not previously heard these sermons, they will be new to you should you decide to listen. If you heard them before, they will be “new again.”
New Website Feature – Listen to Music Online
Our hosting company has added a new feature to our website. Now you can listen online to contemporary Christian music with one click from “The Joy FM.” Look for the button at the top of any page, to the right of the menu or just below it. When you click, a new window will open with the music player. Please note this is NOT the same as the local “Joy FM” radio station which plays southern gospel music.
For southern gospel music lovers, we have a link to the (other) Joy FM home page on our “Links” page (under the “More” menu). If you prefer contemporary Christian music on a local station, we have a link to WCQR radio’s home page. We also list where you can find these stations on the local radio dial. If you want to listen online, each station has a “listen live” button on its home page.
