Launched Spirit and Truth Fellowship of Knoxville, Knoxville, TN
"For about a year, Spirit and Truth Ministries was active in
exploring the possibility of starting new churches. Our research
began in March, 2010 when Ruby Lea and I attended an IRS workshop
in Atlanta and the information presented there applied only to
churches and publicly-funded charities, not to a private operating
foundation like Spirit and Truth Ministries. Also, Spirit and Truth
Ministries paid for an attorney to become familiar with our present
organization and provide some insights that would help us lay out a
roadmap in the future. The primary advice he dispensed was to begin
by starting a single new church. This work proceeded to the point
that
Spirit and Truth Fellowship of Knoxville was chartered on
August 31, 2010 and planned its first church service for February,
2011. Spirit and Truth Ministries purchased and donated 51 folding
chairs to the new church to use for conducting church services and
activites at the church's initial meeting location at Crestridge
Apartments Community Room."
"Spirit and Truth Ministries attended an annual event called
God's Country on Friday and Saturday, November 25-26, the
first two days after Thanksgiving. The event is organized each
year by Gwen Ford,
pictured below wearing purple. This year, the event took place in a
historic church building that Gwen owns and operates under the name
God's Place. The first six pictures below are from Friday
night, and the rest were taken on Saturday. I played guitar and sang
together with several people in attendance and with Ruby Lea. I also
preached the sermon for Saturday night."
Preaching at Lighthouse Christian Church, Dandridge, TN
"This church is located at a Christian Camp outside of Dandridge,
and meets on Sundays. The Pastor and his wife, Donnie and Lisa Pullem,
also preach regularly at God's Place. We met them at the God's Country
event, and I sang with Donnie. It was through this introduction that
we received the invitation to come. In the Sunday morning service
of December 4, I helped to play music during the congregational singing
and while the youth worshipped with interpretive dance led by
Lisa Pullem. I delivered the Sunday morning sermon, titled
The Most Important Verse in the Bible."
