I hope all of you are enjoying this beautiful November weather. Just a couple of quick reminders. Since a lot of folks will be traveling for the holidays, this week (Nov 22) and next week (Nov 29), Ethos will only meet at 5 PM. Please help spread the word to your friends who might not yet be on our mailing list. Also, we are still collecting can goods so bring them with you the next two weeks. You can drop them off at the Service Table. Finally, I think the next two Sundays are going to be great at Ethos. Even though it is the holidays, it would be a great time to invite a friend who has never been to church before. For those of you that are traveling, we hope you have a safe trip and a wonderful Thanksgiving and we will see you when you get back. For everyone else, See you tomorrow night!

[This post is from Justin Wright] I am teaching a free photography class on Sunday, November 15th from 3-5pm at the Cannery Ballroom. The address is 1 Cannery Row Nashville, Tn. This class if for Beginners who are trying to figure out how to use that DLSR that they bought. We will be talking about Shutter Speed, Aperture, Composition, and lots of other awesome things. If you are beyond the basics of photography please come any way to have fun and help teach others. Make sure to bring your camera because we will spending as much time as possible taking photos. Reservations are not necessary but if you have an extra second I would greatly appreciate it if you could send an email to ethosartists@gmail.com to let me know you are coming. Hope to see you there!

Ethos Sun and House Churches

This Sunday Night we will be back to two services (5 PM and 7 PM) at the Cannery Ballroom. If you need directions click here. Also, every Wednesday Night, our church family gathers in homes all across the city from 7 pm – 8:15 pm for a time of prayer, fellowship and Bible Study. If you are looking to get connected, house churches are a great place start. If you are interested in getting connected with a house church, simply email Brandon Steele (steelebn@lipscomb.edu).

Who are you inviting?

Since we believe Jesus is the giver of life and hope, we believe inviting people to connect with our church family is an important way to display our love for God and for people. So with that being said, who are you inviting to Ethos each week? Our prayer is that this will be a consistent element of our church family every single week.

Volunteer at Ethos

Currently we need some volunteers to help in three areas. First we need several committed folks to help set up the Cannery each Sunday Night. The set up team arrives at 2:45 pm each Sunday to unload the trailer and set up the chairs. Second, we need several committed folks from the 7 PM Worship Gathering to serve on our Welcome Team. The Welcome Team arrives 30 minutes before the 7 PM service to help welcome first time guest. Finally, we need several committed folks to serve on our A/V Team. Our AV team is in charge of setting up our PA, running sound, and breaking down the equipment each week.

Serve Our City

It has been an exciting month at Ethos. Each Sunday Night we have been collecting can goods to feed hungry families in Nashville. We will continue to collect cans throughout the month of November. Thank you for bringing cans each Sunday.

On Sunday Night, our church family embraced the difficult news that Popcorn is fighting the AIDs virus. Thanks to your generosity, we have gotten Popcorn off of the street and currently moved he and Jim into the Casablanca Apartments off of Murfreesboro Rd. We also helped Brian and Anna get into housing in the Casey Homes over in East Nashville. Their baby is due in the next couple of weeks so this comes at a great time. Both of these families need food, toiletry items, and basic hygiene products. If you can help, simply bring these products with you on Sunday Night and drop them off at the “SERVE” banner in the lobby. More importantly, we need some folks from Ethos to really roll up their sleeves to walk along side of these families. We need folks to share meals with them, study the Bible, set up movie nights … quite simply be family during this transitional period. If you can help, please email Ilex at (Serve@ethoslove.com)

Ethos Photography Class

Justin Wright is beginning a free photography class before Ethos beginning this Sunday. This class is free and open to everyone. In fact, it is a great opportunity to connect with others at Ethos, and also a great opportunity to invite a friend that might not be connected to church. This class will meet at the Cannery Ballroom. For more info visit Ethos Artists.

Young Marrieds / Couples Group

Two Sunday Mornings a month, Jon and Pam Shoulders lead a discussion looking at what it means to have a Christ Centered relationship. If you don’t know Jon and Pam, they are a dynamic couple that have a deep desire to see young couples find a deeper relationship with Jesus. This group meets from 10-11:15 am. If you are interested in participating, email Jon at (jshoulders@friendshipchristian.org).

Due to a conflict at the Cannery Ballroom, Ethos will be meeting Sunday night at 5PM only at Rocketown.
