Butler Christ Community
Greetings friends, have you heard the old saying "Let go and Let God?" Well God does want you to let go, let go of your feelings of unforgiving. After all when Peter asked Jesus how many times we are to forgive our brother, Jesus replied seventy times seven. Satan wants us to take revenge. Don’t fall for his evil tricks.
Bible study is held each Wednesday at 6.
Our annual Christmas auction will be held November 8. Mark your calendars.
The ladies meeting is canceled for October.
We will be welcoming our good friend, Ron Redden to the pulpit on Sunday the 12th, while pastor Ron and Debbie are away.
We have several names on our prayer list, please pray with us for their healing. Also several praises were lifted up. Won’t you rejoice with us for each of them!
God bless you all!

Pleasant Ridge Baptist
Bro. Mark’s message was from Matthew 23:1-34. Jesus called out the Scribes and Pharisees. They load you with impossible demands that they themselves don’t even try to keep. Everything they do is done for show. Jesus called them hypocrites. You say one thing in your heart but do something different. Those who think themselves great shall be disappointed and humbled.
What happens when you hear the truth of God now a days? Some don’t want to hear it. Be a good guide and keep the faith.

Trinity Southern Baptist
Sunday's worship service at Wool Fest was a powerful testament to faith and community. Over 600 people gathered on the hillside near the main stage to lift their voices in praise and hear a stirring message from Pastor Abram. Preaching from 1 Corinthians 15:1–4, he shared the heart of the gospel—Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection—with clarity and passion. Amid the scent of funnel cakes and the bleating of nearby sheep, the Word of God rang out, reminding all of the hope found in Jesus. Families, festival-goers, and believers from all walks of life joined in worship, creating a beautiful blend of celebration and reverence. Bethany Hartzel led us in powerful worship today, filling the hillside with heartfelt praise that lifted every soul. Join us next Sunday at Trinity—services at 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.—as we continue to grow together.
Trinity’s Wool Fest Service Draws Hundreds in Worship
Trinity’s 3rd annual community church service at the Pendleton County Wool Fest drew an impressive crowd, with over 600 people filling the hillside near the main stage. From first-time visitors traveling in from out of town to members of local churches, the atmosphere was one of unity and celebration. Worship music led by Bethany Hartzel set the tone, followed by a powerful message from Pastor Abram Crozier, who preached from 1 Corinthians 15:1–4 on the good news of the gospel. Trinity has seen remarkable growth over the past seven years—once down to just 20 weekly attendees, the church now averages over 330. Known for drawing crowds and creating welcoming spaces, Trinity continues to be a vibrant presence in the community, sharing the love of Christ through events, outreach, and heartfelt worship. The Wool Fest service was a beautiful reminder of what God is doing in Pendleton County.
