Lebanon Road Report: June 1

Uplifting.

That’s the best word I can think of to describe yesterday. Our singing at Lebanon Road is always good, and we are blessed with so many great song leaders. For some reason, though, the singing yesterday just seemed to be outstanding. That makes a preacher ready to go!

I began two series yesterday on church growth, and both were received quite well. I truly believe that Lebanon Road is set to grow. Our elders have challenged us to that end, and we will work under their leadership to make it happen.

It was also a privilege yesterday to speak at Sycamore Terrace–a retirement home about 3 miles from the building. Tim Mullican and I rode together to that location and he led singing (and did a great job). Brother Joe Adams–on no notice whatsoever!–volunteered to help with the Lord’s Supper, including going to the building to get the emblems. We’re thankful for his good attitude of service.

We had 343 in attendance yesterday morning, and we were excited to begin a new Bible class. Our college class started yesterday, which meant we needed more space! Two classes now meet in the fellowship hall. What a great problem to have! May God bless us with more problems like that one.

We were also blessed with several visitors from the area yesterday. I met some of them, and hope to visit with them soon.

As we often say, if you are in Nashville–whether you live here or are visiting–make sure you pay us a visit at Lebanon Road. You’ll be glad you did.
