Gold Rush and The Knox County Jug Stompers will provide the bluegrass sounds; WDVX will also be on hand with us. Love That BBQ will pull up a huge smoker and cater the event and we also have games to play. Tables, chairs, and blankets will help us feel at home. While the music and games are free, tickets will be required for the BBQ dinner. More details will be available later this week. Tickets are $7 and there is a sign up sheet at the reception desk. This will be a great event to invite a friend to join you. We will also have flyers out across downtown inviting our community to come and join us as well. This should be a great event to kick off our fall together. Clergy Training for Faith Based Initiative The Tennessee Faith and Justice Alliance (TFJA), in conjunction with volunteer lawyers from the Knoxville Bar Assoc. and Legal Aid of East Tennessee, will provide training to identify the need for legal assistance, including learning how to spot legal problems that affect the lives of their congregants and information on existing legal and social services resources in East Tennessee.

The training will be the first TFJA event held in Knoxville, and will be held at First Baptist Church, September 16 from 12:00 until 2:00 PM. A sandwich lunch buffet will be available for $6.00.

First Scripture Reading (1 Kings 19:1-5)
Wayne Smith
1
Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. 2 So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.” 3
Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there, 4 while he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, LORD,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.” 5 Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep. All at once an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.”

Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”

Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. 41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

The Life of the Church
Sanctuary Choir Before You I Kneel (A Workers Prayer) Keith and Kristyn Getty / arr. Mary McDonald Duet by Patti and Steve Foster
Before You I kneel my Master and Maker, to offer the work of my hands, for this is the day You've given Your servant; I will rejoice and be glad for the strength I have to live and breathe, for each skill Your grace has given me, for the needs and opportunities that will glorify Your great name. Before You I kneel and ask for Your goodness; to cover the work of my hands. For patience and peace to shape all my labor, Your grace for thorns in my path, flow within me like a living stream. Wear away the stones of pride and greed, 'Til Your ways are dwelling deep in me, and a harvest of life is grown. Before You we kneel, our Master and Maker, establish the work of our hands. And order our steps to seek first Your kingdom, in every small and great task. May we live the gospel of Your grace, Serve Your purpose in our fleeting days. Then our lives will bring eternal praise, and all glory to Your great name! and all glory to Your great name!

[email protected]. "Our Space and One Other" Our Facilities Committee, in their ongoing efforts to spruce up our facilities, has come up with a great plan for us to help clean up our buildings. It's called "Our Space and One Other." The idea is for each group that meets in the church - such as Sunday School, Women on Mission, Choir - to take on the job of cleaning their meeting space and then cleaning one of the common areas of the church such as the Blue Room, a section of the Sanctuary, or another common area. The date for the event is September 27th (UT is playing away). Please talk with your group and plan to be part of "Our Space and One Other” to help make our facilities bright and clean.
