INSIDE This Issue

A Special Kind of Sunday

As the Fall chill enters the air, we know that before long the colors go on display and we’re surrounded by the beauty of a new season. The glorious sight of our changing surroundings reminds us that this time of year brings a number of festivities. Surely, calendars begin to fill with family gatherings, parties, and activities, kicked off by a very special kind of Sunday, one that ushers in a season of festivity. Each year, we have the opportunity to worship with a slightly larger crowd. Smiles broaden just a bit more, merging with lingering handshakes and hugs. Along with that seasonal chill, the air also fills with the sounds of fellowship and the smell of food. Our hearts are warmed by the arrival of another year’s Homecoming. It’s a special kind of Sunday that affords us the opportunity to see where we’ve come from and where we’re going. We remember those special relationships formed through the shared experience of living, working, and basking in the presence of our Lord Jesus. We reminisce of years passed, the good times spent in good company, and ponder what’s to be, knowing that God still has good things in store for us. This year, I hope you’ve already made plans to join us for our annual Homecoming celebration Sunday. Rev. Jeff Roberts will make a much anticipated return to the pulpit to proclaim the message. We look forward to great fellowship, great food, and great company shared around the table following our worship together. It’s sure to be a wonderful time to celebrate and worship

together, honoring God for all He continues to do here at Knightdale Baptist Church and in the lives of believers. It’s a special kind of Sunday, and we hope to see you there.

Also, if you have a change in the schedule for the children’s nursery or children’s church, please contact the monthly coordinator so that the change can be made prior to the printing of the worship bulletin.
