TWC “Cups and Cookies” Project
We have in years past delivered goodies to students living on campus at Tennessee Wesleyan at the beginning of each school year. This year we’ll be delivering Keith Church plastic stadium cups and homemade cookies on Oct. 1, in time to give these students a little encouragement before midterms. An updated brochure of church information will be included as well in each cup of cookies we distribute.
We are asking each adult Sunday school class (or other interested groups) to contribute 10 DOZEN HOMEMADE COOKIES, and have them brought to the church on Sunday September 29. We will also need a few helping hands to stuff the cups on Monday September 30 so they can be delivered to students by Tues., October 1. .
Students at Wesleyan look forward to this each and every year and it definitely speaks loudly that a local congregation cares! Thanks for your help!
Thank You from KCA
A Great Big Thank You to all who helped
spread the mulch! Don & Pat Schultz- We
could not have done it without you! Thanks for
the use of all your equipment and most
importantly all of your time! Thanks to all

In Memoriam Keith Youth September Activities
Come join us on September 4, as we kick off another great
year! We will be celebrating with a Family First Worship
Service in the Whole Life Center at 6:00 p.m. Bring the
whole family, and let us fellowship and worship together!
Keith Children’s Academy
Keith Children’s Academy is currently
accepting applications for Fall Preschool
and Parent’s Day Out. Please call
Tracey at 745-2612 for more
information!
Greetings Keith Family!
With Labor Day upon us and school in full swing, church
programming makes a shift as well. Keith’s Children’s Academy
is again underway and the sounds of children ring in those
rooms. The Youth had their big Kick Off event which was a huge
success and our TWC students are back in town. This is an
exciting time of the year in the life of the church.
Many people have been wondering what kind of study I would be
offering and I have had a difficult time determining what it would
be as I have so many great ones to choose from. Finally, I have
decided that I will offer a noonday Bible Study on Wednesdays
and we will meet in Ensminger Hall.
Have you ever wondered how much richer the Bible would read if
you were more informed as to the history, geography and culture
of the Bible? Well, come join us in this Bible study as renowned
teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan guides us through the land
of the Bible while teaching the historical, geographical and cultural
context of the sacred Scriptures. Filmed on location in the Middle
East, the Faith Lessons DVD series will absolutely transform your
understanding of God and challenge you to a deeper relationship
with Jesus. During each session we will focus on a passage of
Scripture explored in a 15-20 minute DVD presentation. We will
then venture deeper into the study as we entertain questions and
more related passages.
Our topic schedule will be as follows:
Sept. 4 Tel Gezer- “Standing at the Crossroads”
Various Scriptures
What is the significance of the geographical location of
the Promised Land?
Sept. 11 Jordan River– “Wet Feet”
Joshua 3:5-17
Barriers, commitment, life are among the topics to be
entertained.
Sept. 18 Tel Jericho- “First Fruits”
Joshua 2 and 6
Jericho’s strategic location and the principle of first fruits.
Sept. 25 Tel Beth Shemesh –“Confronting Evil”
Scripture from 1 Samuel , Judges and Numbers.
Learn about the Philistines, the Shephela, the Nazarite
Samson and more.
Each of these lessons will have a personal application to challenge
each participant in our daily walk with Christ.
I invite you to pack your Bible and a lunch, and we will nourish
both soul and body as we feast on Faith Lessons in the Promised
Land.
In Christ’s Service,
Pastor Ty
P en astor’s

Nourish One Child
The Nourish One Child weekend ministry needs your used
plastic grocery bags! Please put them in the labeled box by the
Nourish One Child Food Pantry, which is located across the hall
from the upstairs Chapel. Nourish One Child is also seeking
families, youth, Sunday School classes, Circles, friends, or small
groups to pack food bags. Packing takes place in the NOC Food
Pantry on Wednesday evenings and takes less than an hour to
complete.
Many children in Athens City Schools rely on this important
weekend nourishment. Your help with this ministry is vital! To
volunteer, please call Anne Catron (744-0795) to sign up.
Coordinated Charities Food Drive
Coordinated Charities is having a food drive, and Keith has
been asked to provide canned carrots. At this food drive,
no family will be turned away for food. There will be bins
outside the Gathering and also in Donut Church for your
contributions. Bring your carrots and be a part of this great
event!

KEITH YOUTH IN MISSION RECAP
As the season of summer officially closes this month, we celebrate ways God
has used our youth group over the summer. We took eight middle schoolers to
Augusta, GA for an “introductory mission experience,” working on landscap-
ing, outdoor building repair and house-painting for elderly and impoverished
residents. For the high schoolers we traveled to Far Rockaway, N.Y. to assist
with an inner-city Bible-school, local damage from Hurricane Sandy, cleaning
debris from a soon-to-be teen center, and clothing/food distribution, etc. Even
in our Assembly camp-week at TWC, we were able to help pack over 5,000 lbs.
of storable food for STOP HUNGER NOW. In all of our opportunities, we
were privileged to work alongside youth from many other churches, making
some great friendships and truly learning to be the body of Christ!

New Bible Study
Have you ever wondered how you know when God is speaking to
you? Would you like to experience God doing through you what
only He can do? Well, you can. Come and join me as we study
Experiencing God, Knowing and Doing the Will of God.
Beginning, on September 8, we will meet on Sunday afternoons
from 3:00-5:00 p.m.. Those who choose to participate will be
expected to attend all 12 sessions. During the 12 weeks, you will
participate in reading your lesson on daily basis and complete the
assignment in the workbook. We will come together to dive
deeper into God’s Word and discuss what we have learned.
The cost of the study is $15/person. Please register with the church
office. If you have any questions, please contact Pastor Ty.
