ANNUAL THANKSGIVING DINNER -- 5PM ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22

 

We will hold our Annual Thanksgiving Dinner on Sunday evening, November 22, in the Fellowship Hall. The main dish will be provided, and you can bring traditional sides and desserts. The food will be served cafeteria-style. Come prepared to share a testimony from a thankful heart.

 

We are beginning a study on Revelation September 6, Sunday evenings at 6PM. We'll be using videos and discussion. Join us for this fascinating look into God's plan and program.

Dr. Mark Hitchcock is a pastor, author, and Associate Professor of Bible Exposition at Dallas Seminary.  His purpose statement for Revelation reads:  “To give believers the advanced history of how Jesus Christ, through judgment, becomes King, with a view towards calling them to faithfulness and godliness.”

Men's Chili Cook-Off/Family Movie Night

Dinner & A Movie Night! Sunday, February 23, is the big event. The Annual Men's Chili Cook-Off will be happening at Open Door that night. Competition is keen, and everyone wants to know who will go home with the Coveted Silver Spike "You Nailed It!" Award for 2020. Last year's champion, Don LaCroix, set the bar high in 2019. The rules require that no females help in the preparation of the chili. But ladies, you are asked to bring desserts and fixins, sides, and/or desserts that go with the finest craft chili in Memphis.

When the judges have done their work, we will show the movie Overcomer. This should help the smack-talking contestants get their attitudes back into a biblically-appropriate range.

Awana

Our weekly club for young people from age 2 through 12th grade meets Sunday nights from 5:30-7PM, and there is a group for every age.  The evening includes Bible study, discipleship, and games.  Everyone is invited!

Fun Fact: Open Door's AWANA Club began in January 1982. Some of our clubbers are second generation, and some of our leaders were once Sparkies.
