Sardis Baptist Church celebrates Youth Sunday with 21 participating

Youth Sunday at Sardis Baptist Church Sunday morning was wonderful with 21 young people and children participating.

Sunday School teachers for the various classes were Ethan Armour, Russ Standard, Courtney Gunter, Casey Davis, Cody Boatwright, Rebekah Echols, Jessica Murphy, Mary Ellen Murphy, Taylor Echols, and Cody Armour.

Bulletins were handed out by Jeremiah Fry, Maddie Gunter, Kaitlyn Porter, and Bryson Porter. Courtney was pianist with Rebekah Echols lead the congregational singing.

Announcements were made by Jessica Murphy. Mitch Davis gave the Sunday School report and led the opening prayer. Meredith Gunter and Jasmine Fry read a poem, "The Best Things in Life Are Great."

Maddie Gunter, Jeremiah Fry, and Kaitlyn Porter sang "Jesus Loves Me." Cody Armour read scripture from Matthew 22:20 and Psalm 119:11. The tithes and offerings were taken by Hunter Armour, Jackson Armour, Avery Hall, and Jeremiah Fry.

After the children gathered at the altar for their message by Pastor Jim Newsome they went down to the annex with Trey Berry for Children's Church.

Pastor Newsome highly praised these young people for their leadership and performance with many items with many amens from the audience. Everyone present was mighty proud of them.

The message by the pastor was "Knowing God's Word." He challenged everyone present to spend 15 minutes a day for the next 30 days in God's Word. He recommended starting in Mark because it is a short chapter. He named several types of Bibles that are easier to understand. It was a good and informative message for the youth and everyone present.

The Lord's Supper was served by the deacons of the church. A good service was also held Sunday evening with the pastor bringing the message. You are invited to come to Sunday School at 10 a.m., worship service at 11 a.m., and Sunday evening service at 7 p.m. every Sunday. Prayer meeting for Sardis Church is held every Wednesday evening at 6:30 p.m. at the Echols Home. Sunday School is also held on Sunday mornings at the Echols Home at 10 a.m. with Nina Boatwright as teacher.
