Gratitude for Jay and Evelyn Anne Turner
We will celebrate with Jay and Evelyn Anne Turner this Sunday as Jay retires as our Traditional Worship Arts Pastor after ten years of faithful and fruitful service on our team.
Only eternity will reveal all who have been touched and blessed by Jay’s ministry of music, by his care and compassion, and by his personal investment in the lives of so many.
I hope you will plan to participate in a drop-in reception honoring the Turners from 4:00...

I hope you will join me, hundreds of Inglesiders, and our guests at our Fall Family Festival on Wednesday evening, October 20. It’s a great night of fellowship, food, and fun for all ages.

Have you ever been in a circumstance where no one spoke your language? Maybe you could speak or understand a few words, but you were largely in the dark. Communication levels were low. Frustration levels may have been high. And there was probably a significant degree of discomfort?
But then you met someone who spoke your mother tongue – your heart language. And, oh what joy, what relief, what connection! There was a new sense of freedom and opportunity. Bottom line: ...

Cooler air. Shorter days. Leaves soon will be lighting up the landscape with brilliant color reflecting the glory of the Creator.
These are all sure signs that autumn is upon us. Indeed, the first official day of fall was yesterday – September 22.
As we prepare to make our way through the last quarter of the year, I want to make sure that some key dates and events at Ingleside are on your radar.
Of course, our weekly worship services, classes, and groups – especially on...

Whenever newcomers check out a church, virtually all are asking some form of the same question: “Is there a place for me?”
And for years our short answer at Ingleside has been, “Yes!”
Our answer reflects the spirit of Romans 15:7, which says: “Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God” (ESV).
Of course, the specific questions newcomers may ask are often more detailed, nuanced, and personalized.
Consider these possibilities:

The conversation occurred recently in an aisle of a local hardware store when a lady asked my wife, Beverly: “Has Pastor Tim been vaccinated?”
Then last night at church an Ingleside regular told me of a co-worker who had asked them: “Has Pastor Tim been vaccinated?”
The answer is: yes, both Beverly and I had the shot on the first day we were eligible – March 15, 2021. Our side effects were minimal – just a sore arm; about the same as when we get the flu shot each year....

In today’s blog, I want to: (1) encourage you to pray for believers in Afghanistan, (2) make sure you know about a change to our WMAZ-TV program; and (3) report the results of our Semi-Annual Church Conference.

Not many of us get pumped up about processes, policies, and procedures. Yet, most of us do care deeply about outcomes and results. The truth is that the two are usually connected—even in the life of a church!
Listen to the wisdom of the writer of the biblical book of Ecclesiastes: “The wise heart will know the proper time and procedure. For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter” (Ecclesiastes 8:5b-6a, NIV).
Another version translates: “Yes, there’s a...
