Volume 16, Issue No. 9
I am sitting at my desk after a three-month sabbatical overwhelmed with gratitude...
Join us as we respond to God's amazing gift of grace -- through
faith, fellowship, and service to others.
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and
this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." (Ephesians 2:8)
We are delighted that you're interested in further knowledge about us, and we hope that the information you access here will be helpful in learning more about our congregation and the ministry and mission to which we are called as bearers of the Good News in Kingston, Roane County, and throughout the world.

Sunday Bulletin — 09/22/2019
Do you love to read? Do you enjoy discussing that "best book ever", but often can't find anyone who has read it? Do you want a brief interlude when you can talk and think about things other than what your normal routine requires? If you said "yes" to any of these questions, then we may have something that you'll like – the TN TEN Book Club!
The TN Ten Book Club meets on the first Thursday of each month (we meet on the second Thursday if the first Thursday is a holiday). We meet in the Bethel library from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m (sometimes we finish before 11:30). Light refreshments are served. Members nominate books to discuss. Ten books are selected by popular vote at the November meeting. Our club enjoys a Christmas lunch and fellowship in December. All members are encouraged to nominate books and actively participate in book discussions. Members volunteer to lead discussions and provide refreshments. Our meetings begin with introductions and announcements. Communications are disseminated by email.
If you think that our book club sounds like something that would appeal to you, please attend a meeting and "try us out" – just come to Bethel's office for directions to the library. The TN Ten Book Club is a community group, and we genuinely appreciate Bethel for hosting us!
