Henry, the preacher



We were honored that the Union Chapel ( known affectionately as the Little Brown Church) invited Henry to preach for Homecoming Sunday, which is the last Sunday of the season.

The building,located on the back of Signal Mountain is not heated and cooled by fans, so it operates only Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Henry's text was from I Peter 4:7, "The end of all things is near." It was a inspiring talk laced with sweet memories of growing up in Summertown and the truth of being clear minded so we can pray. It is an act of service we all can participate in no matter our status. Henry shared that he encouraged some of his bedridden patients to consider prayer their gift to further God's kingdom.

Both of our parents kindly blessed us with their ongoing prayers.
Living a life that is drenched in prayers gives us a rich dimension we often forget to be thankful for as we face each new day.
