Welcome to South Main!
You’re invited to be a part of our family as we worship God, encourage one anoth-
er, and grow spiritually together.
When we meet together, we sing, pray, study the Bible, partake together in the
communion of the Lord's supper, and en-joy great family fellowship.
A fully staffed nursery is available. Ask an usher for assistance.
During AM services, we offer signing for those who are hearing impaired.

A memor ial service was held Saturday at the West Erwin Church of Christ in Tyler. Congregational Business Meeting As announced last Sunday, there will be a brief congre-gational business meeting immediately after A.M. ser-vices on Sunday, November 1. The only agenda item will be a vote regarding a construction-related financial transaction that requires congregational approval. The meeting should take no more than five minutes and all church members are invited to attend.
Attention Ladies Our supply of aprons is running low. If you would like to participate in making new aprons, or donating fabric or money for fabric, please contact Dee Brown at 903-646-7424.
Regardless of your position on the issues, we urge all eligible voters to cast ballots in the elec-tion Tuesday, November 3th. You, as a Chr is-tian, can be an influence for good government. It’s your decision, your opportunity. Use it.
Bob’s Thoughts...
Thank God I’m Free
“…as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Philippians 1:20-21
The Apostle Paul lived a most extraordinary life. How did he live such a life? In these verses, Paul declared the source of his living to be Jesus Christ. This is not about imitation, far from it; it’s about a total transformation! That is exactly what had occurred in Paul’s life. Paul said that the reason Christ was so evident in his life was because it actually was Christ; Christ was living in Paul. Paul had been transformed! According to Paul, the only way for him to live was by means of Christ. Christ is The Life-the only life (John 14:6). That is why only Christ living in you, is the answer to your life. Real living is Christ living! Are you living or just existing? If you are allowing Christ to live His life in you, then you are living. Otherwise, you’re just existing. As you allow Christ to do the living, He will be magnified in your body: through life as well as death. When something is magnified, it becomes evident for all to see. You see the difference and so will everyone else. They will be able to see Christ-His character and His conduct-expressed through you. And the beauty of it is, you get to enjoy His life! Now that is living an extraordinary life and you are Free to do so!
Have a great week! Bob
