Reflections on 20 Years
In December 1994, I met with the elders of this congregation at Shoney’s restaurant on Harding Place in Nashville. They were looking for a preacher and I was looking for a place to preach. The elders impressed me as they shared their vision for the Lord’s work in White Bluff. I have been blessed immeasurably by their decision to invite me to be their preacher. There were many things I needed to learn: character flaws that needed to be corrected, faith that needed to be deepened, and truths about God that needed to be trusted more. I needed to become more Christ-like so I could become a better man. This had to happen before I could improve as a preacher. It has been a privilege to study the Bible so I could know God. It also has been a privilege to teach the word of God to others. It has been rewarding for me to see those: • Who accepted the grace of God; • Who showed deep love for God; • Who were generous to the Lord’s work; • Who turned the other cheek in the face of those who
were evil, and; • Who were faithful in difficult circumstances. Thank you for the party, for all the kind words, and the gifts. Thank you for every act of kindness given to the Couch family. I am grateful for every word of encouragement, every piece of advice, & every act of love. Thank you for your love for God and having a great desire to see His kingdom increase. Thank you for loving Jesus Christ, the great Savior of the world. Thank you for loving the Scriptures and your desire to hear Christ proclaimed in them. Anything good that was accomplished is because of God, who is the Source from whom all good things flow. No one can be sure what the future holds for any of us, but we can certainly trust the One who holds the future within His hand. I love you all & look forward to our gathering in eternity to be with the God who loves us all deeply “with an everlasting love” (Jeremiah 31:3). Doug Couch
At times my spirit is either dumb or dead; I feel
nothing. I come to worship like some
programed robot. O God, forgive me;
“Spirit of the Living God, fall fresh on me.”
…and I shall put a new spirit within them. Ezekiel 11:19
Nicaragua Missions Our young people are willing to work to fund their
own mission trip. We have 10 people from this
church making the trip to Nicaragua in June. If you
need your gutters cleaned, yard mowed, leaves raked,
etc, please let us know. Carl and Connie Wood, and
Tom Todd will help schedule time to see that the
work is done. If you would to make a monthly
contribution or one-time donation, please make your
check payable to Nicaragua Mission Fund. You can
put this in the collection plate or give to Carl/Connie,
Tom, or one of the elders.
The youth will also be making crafts to sell. A
brochure will be available soon with samples for you
to consider purchasing. It is estimated that the cost
per person will be $2,000. The youth has a lot of
work to do to raise this money and your help is
greatly appreciated. Please pray for the youth and the
upcoming mission trip. May God receive all the
glory and praise.
Hello! My name is Aurora Stokes and I have Biliary
Atresia, a life-threatening liver disease for which there is no
known cause or cure. Last week I got an infection in my
liver and now will be heading to Pittsburgh Children’s
Hospital where my daddy will be donating part of his liver to
me. This is all happening faster that we planned so my
family needs your help with travel and expenses. Any help
is greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Aurora Victoria Stokes – 2 years old
