East Tennessee events

Feed Your Faith is a group of evangelical Christians working collaboratively outside and across denominational lines to engage Christ’s Church in East Tennessee. The mission of Feed Your Faith is to teach Jesus during seminars, praise Jesus during concerts, and to be Jesus to people in the community by assisting area ministries.

Saturday, November 18th at Fellowship Church in Knoxville they are hosting the Walk Through the Old Testament seminar.

"In the Walk Through the Old Testament seminar, audience members are taken on an unforgettable adventure back to the beginning of time. From there, the instructor introduces participants to prominent Bible characters and weaves together their various stories onto one clear timeline. As participants learn about the major people, places, and events of the Old Testament, God's ultimate plan of preparing the world for the coming of Jesus Christ is revealed like never before."

Visit Feed Your Faith for more information about this and other East Tennessee events.

Oh, and if you live in the WEST or MIDDLE of Tennessee, I sure could use your help in getting posts up about happenings in your area.  Please email me if you have anything you want to see posted here!  Thanks

Don't forget this book sale!

Just wanted to tell you all, that if you live within ONE HOUR of Knox County, then you NEED to head to the Knox County Library Book Sale!

We went last night and there were 1,000's of books!  Today is half price day.  That means all hardback children's books are 50cents each!  Paperback children's books are 4/$1!!  We bought a huge load of books, but we left some for you!

Don't forget, Saturday, is $3 for a bag of books.  That's an EXTREME bargain.  So, head to the Candy Factory in Knoxville for this great sale!
