Special Monthly Events
CELEBRATE PENTECOST SUNDAY!
Sunday, May 24 is Pentecost Sunday, the day we celebrate Christ’s great gift to us, His own Spirit to live in those first believers, and now, to live in us, to empower us for His work. Remembering how the Spirit manifested in tongues of fire above the believers heads, you are invited to wear the colors of fire: red, orange and yellow that day. Our sanctuary will be “afire” in red and orange as well. We will have extra-special music and dramatic readings of scripture as well. It will be a great time of worship!
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL 2026
Saturday, June 6 from 9:45 to 1:00 p.m. will be our one-day Vacation Bible School. This year’s theme is “Life is a Circus But God is the Ringmaster,” and it is based on the Bible story of David and Goliath. We will have our story, games, crafts and a visit from our furry friends at Infinity Acres. Lunch will be provided. We hope we will see you then! Register through our church office 276-629-5394 or Little Angels Early Learning Center. It’s going to be a great time!
Regular Monthly Events
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)
AA meetings happen in our church fellowship hall each Monday night at 7:00 p.m.
We are glad to house this very important ministry.
Monthly Community Meal
Each third Thursday of the month at 5:30 in our church fellowship hall, our members come together to provide a hot, nutritious meal for our community, which is completely free of charge.
Usually feeding 50 to 70 friends from Henry County and Martinsville, we begin with a brief devotion and a time of prayer, followed by the serving of the meal, complete with dessert. When all have been served, we join our guests to eat and converse around the tables. In addition to providing a needed service to our community, this ministry has been a blessing to our homebound members, as we also take meals to them.
Pickers and Fiddlers Bluegrass and Gospel Musicfest
“Pickers and Fiddlers” is a 2-hour gospel, bluegrass and mountain music program which meets from 10:00 a.m. to noon on the 2nd Saturday of each month in our fellowship hall.
It began in 2009 so it is now beginning its 16th year. Singers and musicians from around the area join together to share their talents. Some come from as far away as Roanoke and Patrick County.
We invite folks of any skill level to come, bring their instruments and play along. The entertainment is free of charge, and we also offer free beverages and breakfast pastries. Not even a love offering is ever taken.
Come on out and join us any 2nd Saturday of the month! It’s a great time!
Community Bible Study
Initiated sometime around 2017, this Bible study met in one of the rooms in the JD Bassett Event Center on Wednesday mornings from 11:00 a.m. to noon.
These days, we continue to meet on Wednesdays at 11:00 a.m., but in our church fellowship hall. Our attendees come from several of the Christian churches in our area. Among them are Methodists, Brethren, Disciples of Christ, and Baptists, so we have quite an interesting and varied perspective on the scriptures. Bible-book based, our method is to read through a book, while also learning about its author and historical context. Most recently, we have studied the books of Hebrews, the gospel of John, and the letters of John. We are presently studying the gospel of Luke. Come and join us! All are welcome!
