Lebanon Road Report: July 6

We were saddened by the loss of our brother Charles Harris, who died last Wednesday, and a couple of our members recently lost family members. News like this causes us to grieve.

But there was also some fantastic news at Lebanon Road yesterday. Brother Micky Bell (the former preacher at Lebanon Road) was visiting with us yesterday and he was able to baptize his youngest son, Aaron, into Christ! Aaron responded to the Lord’s invitation and Micky immersed him for the forgiveness of his sins. Here are some pictures of that greatest of all events:

Brother Micky continues to battle cancer, and will begin treatments this week in Houston. Please keep him and his family in your prayers.

Also, we were pleased to welcome two new members who placed membership with us yesterday. Curt and Gaye Hickey have lived in Nashville for about a year, and have been looking for a church home during that time. We are glad they decided to worship at Lebanon Road. Brother Hickey preached the Gospel for about 35 years before retiring. He preached in Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Alabama. We are glad to have them as part of our number.

As we say nearly every week, we had so many visitors with us yesterday. We even had one visitor who brought a visitor! (That doesn’t happen every day!!!) We are blessed with visitors traveling through many times, but we are also having a lot of visitors from our area. Many are returning several times, and this continues to keep us excited as we think about our future.

Even with many, many families away on vacations, we were still blessed to have 336 in attendance yesterday morning. Isn’t it exciting when we can say we were down to 336!

Each week we encourage you to visit with us. Make it a point to be here this coming Sunday. You’ll meet so many friendly folks and you will be blessed by your time at Lebanon Road. We hope to see you Sunday!
