Dear Fellow Servant,

We are just weeks away from one of the largest annual events at THE BLVD.  Our 2009 Christmas Concert is Sunday, December 13 at 4pm.  This year’s charitable organization is Hope House Day Care.  My family and I are taking a tour of Hope House this Friday (November 20).  As a church we have committed to reclaiming the family.  Your support of the concert helps us bring hope to the families and children of Hope House, the only daycare in Tennessee dedicated to the care of children affected by HIV/AIDS.  Our own Dr. Leo Davis, Jr. gave a testimony last Sunday about the gift he has received by volunteering at Hope House.  You may not be able to volunteer but you can give a gift of hope this year.  Please purchase your tickets and support our Gift of Hope Christmas concert.

 

If you missed service last Sunday at THE BLVD, you also missed a special message sent to us by Donnie McClurkin himself.  After viewing it in service there was a round of applause by all in attendance.  Take a look at it here.

 

Earlier this week I had the opportunity to preach a revival at St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church right outside of Millington.  It was a wonderful opportunity and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.  I appreciate Pastor McGhee and the St. Mark family for the invitation.  My message on Tuesday at the Revival covered The Basin, The Water Pitcher, and The Towel.  In essence it was about serving in capacities that may not be considered a part of your job description, experience and skill.  It was about doing what you can do to serve someone else.  This Sunday is Hope Sunday.  We will have special guests from Hope House at THE BLVD Midtown and I hope you come ready to not only listen but enter their story.  Come prepared to serve and support the cause. 

 

See you Sunday!
