The Outlook
Peter’s POINTS
Hey Parents:
This past Sunday your child(ren) participated in Kid-
Fusion. Kid-Fusion is held on the 3rd Sunday of the month
and it's a time for your kids to engage and "fuse" with
kids from other churches. Jefferson, First Christian of
King and Poplar Springs all participate in this monthly
meeting. This past Sunday was our first Kid-Fusion for
the school year. We were excited to introduce our topic
for the year: Challenge. Every month we are going to
share different challenges with the kids and help encour-
age them to move past all the many different challenges
they may face in life. This past Kid-Fusion we introduced
the concept of challenge and all three children's
ministers shared different types of challenges;
spiritual, physical and emotional.
We divided the children into smaller groups based on
which challenge they most closely related to (spiritual,
emotional or physical). In these small groups we were able
to talk more directly with them and encourage them in
overcoming their SPECIFIC challenges. Your child was
also taught the them verse for Kid-Fusion, "I can do all
things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians
4:13. To help your child remember this concept we gave
each child a little pocket cross. We told the kids the
cross was to help remind them that God is with them and
gives them strength to overcome whatever challenge
they are facing.
So if you see a little metal cross floating around the
house or clanking in your dryer you'll know why! I encour-
age you to take time and talk with your child about what
challenges they face, especially with this new school year.
You can break the ice by asking what group they went
with at Kid-Fusion.
Please continue to pray for our youth and for our parents!!!
LOVE ALL OF YA,
Peter
Luke’s Letter to the Flock
Wow ! How the summer has flown by!
It feels like just yesterday school was
getting out and we were all gearing up for
vacation, camp, CIY and pool parties.
A new school year is here and our students
are getting back into the swing of things.
This summer I have been amazed by the evi-
dence of God in our students and how they
have grown together along the way. From
Park Springs and the fellowship that goes
on there, to CIY ,where I saw our crew
come together to work on a project that
stretched them to the max. By that I mean
it rained the whole time and our students
still let God use them to shine a light to
those families in Johnson City.
Overall, it was one awesome summer!
Fall is here and the thing you need to re-
member is PRAYER. Pray for our youth in
all that you do. Pray for their school, their
relationships, their hearts and most of all
their relationship with our Lord.
much love, Lucas

her during
her recovery.
Thank You
Dear Church Family,
Thank you so much for
the outpouring of love you
sent our way at the time of
our Mom’s passing. The
many cards, flowers and
donations to the church
were such a comfort. She
loved this church and the
people in it so much.
Please continue to remem-
ber us in your prayers as
we face the difficult days
without her.
In Christian Love,
The Dott Covington Family
P.S. To the ladies and
gentlemen who provided
the memorial meal…
what a blessing you are.
It meant so much.

The Christian Holy Land Foundation, Inc. (CHLF) is an independent organization formed in the early 1980s for the pur-pose of sharing the Gospel message in the Holy Land. For more than 20 years that mission was carried out through our affilia-tion with George Awwad, a Christian Arab minister living in East Jerusalem. Following George's unexpected death in 2003 CHLF looked for two years for someone to continue the work. God brought together CHLF with an already existing Team of couples in the Galilee and it was clear that it was time for a period of
significant growth in the ministry.
The purpose of Christian Holy Land Foundation is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the Holy Land and its surrounding areas, and to establish and maintain a base of operations from which churches patterned after the New Testament order may be started.
To aid in the accomplishment of this purpose, every practical and scriptural means may be employed, including educational cen-ters, benevolent ministries, care facilities, and training centers.
