Thompson's Thoughts

"Seek God. Serve Others. Go into the World."
It is great to be a part of the Rogersville family. A lot of times it takes a while to be truly settled but you all have been so gracious to Joy and I that we feel right at home in the community here. Thank you for making this transition as smooth as possible. We are excited about the opportunities here and pray that you all will find ways to be involved.

COMMUNITY NEWS: Southside's Gospel Meeting is ongoing and will continue through Thursday night. A group from Rogersville is planning to go tonight. If you would like to go we will meet at Southside for singing at 6:30 and service at 7:00 p.m.

Lauderdale County Schools will be having Fall Break at the end of the week. Some of you will be traveling and we are praying for your safety. However, if you are in town there is lots going on that we would love for our students and parents to be involved in. 
 
Here is what we've got going this week:
