Knitted Together "...speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up into Him in every way who is the head, into Christ,

from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every joint with which it is supplied, when

each part is working properly, makes bodily growth and upbuilds itself in love." Ephesians 4:15#16

"For Thou didst form my inward parts, Thou didst knit me together in my mother's womb."

FromourPastor:

I had the opportunity to visit Fred and Be0ye Skillern in the hospital last month. They are facing each day

with courage and faith. I was not glad that Be0ye was in the hospital but I was glad to be able to be with her in

person a1er a long 2me when she had to stay isolated from others.

As I went into the Surgery Wings entrance of Memorial Hospital in Cha0anooga to enter the building, a sign

above the door read: Wound Healing Center. It was above the sliding glass door and the words were in large

blue le0ers. The sign reminded me of the church for we are by the gi1 of the Holy Spirit: a wound healing center.

Broken hearts are mended here as people come surrendering their hurts and failures, their losses and their weak#

ness to the Lord in worship and in prayer. We are Gods Wound Healing Center as we pray for one another and

greet one another. We, even, bring healing as we witness to the unbelieving world that God is a God of Grace

and Forgiveness and claim that He is worthy of our praise everyday but especially on Sunday.

We are a wound healing center as we trust that in Christ our sins are forgiven through the power of His Cross.

And we are a place of healing as we learn more about His Promises in Scripture and as our families remember

together what is important and what is not.

Come next Sunday to our wound healing center and invite others who have been wounded in their lives to

come along with you.

Because He lives, MarkMarkMarkMark
