   LifeBlood – The Blood Mobile will be in the Lindenwood Parking Lot from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Stop by before or after your worship service and donate blood. Blood donations save lives. Each year, thousands of accident victims, premature babies, cancer patients, heart surgery and transplant patients and people with blood disorders, like sickle cell disease, survive because of blood provided by volunteer donors.

Wednesdays this fall Dr. Ron Buck will lead a class entitled “Where the Bible Begins – An Overview of Genesis through Deuteronomy.” The first five books of the Hebrew Bible are known as “The Torah,” sometimes translated “the Law.” Later, after the translation into Greek, known as the Septuagint, the first five books were also called “The Pentateuch.” These five books lay the foundation for the writings and the prophets. If you are interested in understanding more about the earliest stories and events leading to the Jewish and Christian faiths, you won’t want to miss this study. The study will begin on Wednesday, September 8, at 6:15 p.m., following dinner. The location of the class will be announced prior to the 8th.
Watch the announcements for all the Wednesday Night Activities starting back in September.

All Lindenwood members and friends are invited to join our 80+ plus volunteers in Habitat for Humanity of Greater Memphis' Fall Build at Trinity Park. We initially anticipated we could provide 25 to 30 volunteers for the project along with a sponsorship level of $5000. Because of the overwhelming response to our call for volunteers - more than 80 persons!! - it is necessary for Lindenwood to increase its sponsorship level from $5000 to $9000. So, whether or not you can drive a nail, lay a shingle or hang sheetrock - you can help! By purchasing a piece of the house -- from a single shingle to a roll of carpet, from windows to a washing machine - you can make sure Lindenwood has a significant role in building a new home for Shelby County family this fall. Please take a look at our display in the Grand Foyer and review the "price list" below. Invite your family, friends, Sunday School class, small group, etc. to join you and Help Build It! Contributions should be made to Lindenwood Christian Church and marked for “Habitat project”. We’re hoping to wrap this up by Sunday, Sept 12 as our first build day is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 18. Thanks! Johnny Wray
