A Message from our Pastors
This is without a doubt a record year for discipleship (Wednesday Nights) in terms of attendance. We have had great crowds every Wednesday Night! I think it has also been an unbelievable fall spiritually as well because every person on our campus on Wednesday night is studying God’s Word from the youngest to the oldest! Being in God’s Word is what makes it really special! All of our teachers have done a great job! If you haven’t been to a Bible Study on Wednesday night, please consider attending, and if you are attending invite someone else to come with you!
​
I want to remind our men about a special event coming up. We have a men’s fellowship on Thursday night October 16th. It will be in the fellowship hall at 6pm! We will be eating that night. Wesley and the guys will be preparing dinner, we will have a special speaker and special music and lots of great door prizes! It is a time for our men to invite their friends and bring their sons to worship that night! It is going to be a great night so put it on your calendar!
​
In the midst of all the good taking place we have experienced a tragedy in our midst. Jace Smith, the son of Bonnie and Willie Smith, lost his life in an ATV accident last weekend. We are all broken-hearted! Please keep this dear family in your prayers. The funeral service will be tomorrow (9/26) at Grove Hill Baptist Church. The service begins at noon. Pray for those of us who will be speaking that God will give us words to strengthen, comfort, and encourage!
I hope and pray you have a great week, and I hope you are able to join us for worship in one of our services this weekend!
God Bless You!

I am so excited about what God is doing at Tompkins Baptist Church on Wednesday
nights! We had a record number of 248 people here last Wednesday for Wednesday’s
services! If you are not plugged into church on Wednesday’s, please come join us as we
have something to offer in all groups! We kick the evening off with meals from 5:00-5:45
in the fellowship hall.
​
Then we have AWANA for children in the new building from 5:45-
7, Youth Service in the youth room from 6-7, and 2 Adult Bible studies. Bro Johnny and
his team of Joe Bedwell and Mrs. Linda Griffin are teaching through the book
Philippians in the Sanctuary from 6-7. Me and Caitlyn Dannelly are teaching a new
series called “Don’t Give The Enemy A Seat At Your Table” by Louie Giglio. I am really
excited about this study and the six different topics.
​
1. The Table Before Us…
2. The Tactics of the Enemy…
3. The Battle for Our Mind…
4. The Path to Victory….
5. God’s Invitation Always Stands….
6. In the Presence of Our Enemies…
​
Every day we fight a battle against an enemy who wants to wage war in our minds. At
home, at work, at school, at church, in our neighborhoods and communities we are
faced with a barrage of demands, distractions, responsibilities, and obligations. The
relentless assault of so many forces competing for our attention can be overwhelming.
​
The good news is we don’t have to live in this mental war zone! We have the power,
through Jesus Christ, to defeat the enemy and take authority over our minds. We have
been invited into an intimate relationship with Almighty. He has prepared a table for us,
a table for 2, set with an abundance of peace, clarity and purpose. Our enemy, the devil,
is not intended to join us at this table! We can’t invite him in and give him a seat at our
table! We must allow our Good Shepherd to lead us through the dark valleys into green
pastures and quiet waters he has prepared for us! It’s time to win the battle for your
mind! Please consider joining us as we go through this study together!!!
