Bible Study Leaders Needed
As Summer is coming to an end, it is time to think about our Fall Wednesday night Bible study groups. We are looking for at least 4 different studies this fall! If you are interested in leading an 8-week study, please contact Rev. Shan Odom through the church office at 205-655-3259 or by email at shan@trussvillefirst.com. We are asking for leaders to commit to leading a study by September 11. We will begin sign ups on September 12th and conclude the sign ups on September 25th. This will give us time to order the books. Groups will start October 4th and continue for approximately 8 weeks. The more groups we have the more God can stretch us, prune us, grow us, and strengthen us in our faith!

Sign Fund
Trustees are starting a “Sign Fund” and asking for donations. The purpose of this fund is to replace all the small and large parking lot and building signs that had the cross and flame and the word “United” on them. It will also be used to repaint the signs on the buses. Thank you for donating to this fund.
Prayer Wall
We have a Prayer Wall that is available to add your prayer requests to. It is also for anyone who would like to pray for the requests that are on the wall. It will be moved between the Christian Life Center and the Transept so that everyone has an opportunity to add prayer requests and/or pray for prayer requests. Your ministers and staff will also take turns praying over the Prayer Wall. Please join us.
