Due to technology issues my article from last week did not get sent in, I apologize. Some of my article will be from two weeks ago and some from this week.
Brother Chris Wheeler and Brother Joel Brumfield sang a superb offertory song at church Sunday before last called, “Before the Throne of God Above”. It was an excellent song and was really moving. Brother Chris then gave the message titled “Soli Deo Gloria (To God Alone Be Glory)”. If you missed it, be sure to check out our Facebook Page (Enon Baptist Church), it was a wonderful sermon.
If you are interested in joining our choir at EBC, there is a sign up on the back table at church. I missed last week’s practice, but plan to be there this week. It looked fantastic having people in the choir loft again. When my girls were little, they would wave at Granny in the choir (my mama) and Sunday before last mama was the one waving at Gracie in the choir. I plan to be up there next week with Annalise as well.
The Blessing of Food will be September 24th and 25th. We would like to welcome our new members Jason and Nikki Wilson and Brayden Gregg.

My 3-year-old cousin Reed Bright has leukemia. There will be blood drives for him in the Lee Road area. If you would like to donate blood or platelets you can donate in his name (Reed Bright) at the blood bank or keep an eye out for upcoming blood drives. (Reed’s great grandmother and my daddy were brother and sister)
