A Good Remedy for Losing a Basketball Game

Well, the Vols lost to Memphis tonight. It was Chloe's first basketball game! It was close, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, as we used to say...

Anyhow, here's a great fixer-upper for those who feel down after the loss today. Come hang out with us Ridge Church people tomorrow! That's right, we're meeting tomorrow, Sunday January 25th, at Marli's Caribbean-American Cuisine in Fountain City at 10 a.m. (Check out the panel on the right of the main page for directions.)

Tomorrow is going to include several firsts for The Ridge:
  • First opportunity to worship God with music and singing.
  • First opportunity to worship God with a monetary offering.
  • First time for our children to share a time of their own during our gathering (we're starting with ages 5 and under this week, it's the beginning of our children's ministry).
  • First interview with a local missionary--Jimmie Hodges.
  • First financial gift from Ridge Church to a local missionary (Jimmie).
  • First financial gift from Ridge Church to an Acts29 church planter--Andy Hughes and Journey Church of the Highlands in Boone, North Carolina. (We're working on getting Andy here soon so you can get to know him.)
So, tomorrow should be pretty fun! (That's one of our Ridge Church Core Values). So, if you're looking for a place to worship God or investigate the claims of Christ tomorrow, please join us! We meet from 10 to 11:15 a.m.

By the way (I forgot to mention this) bring any extra baby clothes you may have tomorrow morning to our gathering. We'll give them to Jimmie for his ministry to the underprivileged people in the mountains of Kentucky.

Have a great night!
