Mountain Springs Church

Services started Sunday, Sept. 30, with Bro. Kenneth leading the church in the following hymns: “Are You Washed in the Blood,” “Where the Soul Never Dies” and “Getting Ready to Leave this World.”

We had special guests, the Bledsoes, with us this morning. They did a wonderful job and God has truly blessed them with a gift to sing for him.

That afternoon, we went to the nursing home. The youth from Mountain Springs sang, and Bro. Kenneth Moates gave the devotion. It’s always a blessing to spend time with the sweet people at the nursing home.

Sunday night, Bro. Kenneth led the church in the hymns “I’m Going that Way,” “Lift Me Up Above the Shadows” and “When the Roll is Called Up Yonder.”

Conner Bice and Kristin Thomas received a new Bible from moving up to the older Sunday School class. We can’t believe how fast these two kids have grown up.

Bro. Roger Cleckler preached from Mark 5: 1-20. There is no place like home. We have an earthly home, a home with our Savior and a heavenly home.

Don’t forget our service times: Sunday at 9:45 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., and Wednesday at 7 p.m. Hope to see you there!
