From Jerry Elder: If you are reading this you have chosen to come and worship with us today! Let me welcome you to Spring Meadows! We trust and pray that our worship to God will be edifying and uplifting. If you are looking for a church home we hope that you will consider us. If you are not a Christian, we pray that we can help guide you to that decision to become one! Dale is in Tanzania, Africa this week (so remember him in your prayers) and today we are thankful to have Chester Darden (one of our elders) preaching for us. We are excited to welcome a new family to Spring Meadows today! Steve and Laura Burkhart come to us from Pensacola, FL. Steve is an electrical engineer with Philips Healthcare and is currently working in Knoxville during the week. They moved to Spring Hill to be close to their first grandchild (born in Sept.)! They are eager to be involved. Let’s welcome them with open arms! We are also very thankful that Chad and Jessica King were baptized into Christ and were added to the Lord’s

church last Sunday night! They are wonderful people; make sure you get to know them! Many people will be traveling over the next week to family and friends for Thanksgiving. Enjoy your time with them and remember to give thanks to God for EVERYTHING He has given us! Glad you are here today!
