 Growing Strong in the Seasons of Life!
                              Friday, October 26th, the ladies of Pendleton
                              Street Baptist Church and their guests enjoyed
                              a “Ladies’ Fall Dinner” at the Hilton Greenville.
                              The event was attended by 66 women from
                              many different “seasons of life." Hosts Loretta
                              Stephens and Suzanne Price planned and
                              decorated such a beautiful and joyous
                              fellowship for the women. Katie Mitchell sang a
                              lovely special and led the group in singing at
                              the end of the evening. Ruth McWhite brought
                              an honest and uplifting word of the Lord,
                              encouraging the women to continue in their
                              relationship with the Lord during all the
                              seasons of life. Each season is a time of
                              learning and growth, even when it just feels
                              like a season of hardship - God is there in
                              every minute. The PSBC women will be
                              hosting more events in the coming seasons - if
                              you’d like more information, please contact us      Ruth McWhite brought a message of hope
                                                                                  and encouragement for all seasons of life!

I thank God for you, Pendleton Street Baptist Church. Serving as your
                                 Pastor is a joy and a privilege. It is right for me to feel this way about
                                 you all, because I hold you in my heart. We are all recipients of God’s
                                 grace, and working together for the Gospel is a joy. Suzanne and I are
                                grateful for the many expressions of love and gifts. Thanks to your
generosity I see many date nights in our near future! And I want to take this opportunity to thank God
for Suzanne. Being my wife is not easy, and when you add to that the increased responsibilities of
being a Pastor’s wife, I am amazed at how wonderful she is. I am blessed, indeed.
       I am grateful to serve on staff with Cody Penland, Kendra Irish, and Genia Hester. God has
brought together a great team of people who display their commitment to serving Him, and serving
you, week in and week out. Working with committed people who are uncomplaining and joyful in their
approach to work is a blessing beyond words. I appreciate you all so much!
       It is also good that we partner with other churches committed to truth and the Gospel through
the Greenville Baptist Association. On Sunday, November 11, we will have the opportunity to worship
with one of these sister churches. Christ the Redeemer church is a new church in Greenville, led by
Pastor Matthew Wireman. They are meeting in the building formerly owned by the Brandon United
Methodist Church at 118 Mason St., Greenville. This is across the street from the old Brandon Mill,
just two blocks off of Pendleton Street. Worship begins at 10:30 am, and I look forward to seeing all of
you there!
       As you read through this newsletter, make note of the ways you can participate in the life of the
congregation as we strive to Glorify God by Making Mature Disciples of All Nations!
Richly Blessed,

     Sunday, November 11, 2018
       PSBC will worship with
     Christ the Redeemer Church.
