This is the website of the Dyer Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Dyer Tennessee. NOTE FROM OUR PASTOR This Sunday is the second week of Super September. It is “National Back to Church Sunday”. We have also added “Bring A Friend”, “Pack a Pew”, & “High Attendance Sunday”. Our goal is 75 in worship (which is perhaps a little too low since we had 67 last Sunday). I honestly think we should up the goal, since I have committed to preach one Sunday in October, when it cools off a little, from the roof of our church, should we reach the goal. There will be a pancake breakfast at 9 am before Sunday School. This will be a good opportunity to invite that family member, friend, or neighbor who is not actively involved in a church. Let them know that if they will come as a visitor, they will leave as family. It will also be a great opportunity for you to come back if you haven’t attended in a while. You are missed. You are needed. You are loved. Later that afternoon, we will have the 4th month of our new GROW program meeting at 5PM, and Session meeting @ 6. Continue to pray for those who are on our GROW list. Our SUPER September will end, Sunday September 27, with a picnic under the shade trees. You can even bring your pets (leashed or caged) to worship with us. The church has asked Brandt to grill and you can pack the rest for your picnic and those treats for the pets. Don’t forget your lawn chairs and blankets! If you have extra maybe bring those for people who may forget to bring theirs. Our Wednesday night children’s ministry is back in full swing and going strong. It is organized and efficient. Pray that it will be effective; that the children and theirparents will be drawn to Jesus. If that wasn’t enough excitement, this Saturday will be week 2 of the Upward Soccer Games, with Tuesday & Thursday practices. Week 1 was a great success! God is at work all around us. He is working through our church. If you want Him to “Bless You Indeed” (last week’s sermon: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10), you must be committed and striving to be honorable. Hope to see you Saturday at Upward and Sunday for breakfast. -Bro.

Operation Christmas Child Monthly Donations Each month, we are focusing on collecting specific items to prepare for our shoebox packing in November. Feel free to donate any of the items on the below list any time during the year but we wanted to make sure that we had enough to surpass our 30 boxes from last year! We can do it if we all work together. In November we will have our annual packing party and shoe box dedication before we mail them to bless those less fortunate around the world. The month of November, the giving project will be the Loaves and Fishes Project that provides hot lunches to people in the Philippines.

What is Compassion Child? Click to find out. What does Compassion Child Do? Click to find out. Coming soon - information on the church's sponsored child. What Is Sponsorship? When you sponsor a child, you care for and encourage them through prayer, letter writing and financial support. That support empowers a local church to individually and holistically meet their needs in a loving, safe community where they can learn, grow, play and dream. When you become a sponsor, you are personally connected with a child who will know your name and treasure the thought that you care about them. Your support gives a child life-changing opportunity to develop spiritually, emotionally, physically and economically. It's a relationship more powerful than poverty — changing their life and yours! http://compassion.com/SponsoranOlderChild

A Rich History The Dyer Cumberland Presbyterian Church was born north of the present city of Dyer at the site of Bobbitt-Pleasant Grove Cemetery, just off the old Dyer-Rutherford Road. It was organized as the Pleasant Grove Society of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church on May 20, 1848, with 51 charter members. Very few records exist to record the history of the congregation over the next 21 years. The little log church was deserted at some point and following the Civil War, a new building was erected in town in 1869. This is the site on which the present building now stands. The name of the congregation was changed to the Dyer Cumberland Presbyterian Church in 1888. The old wood frame structure was sold in 1889, and a brick building was constructed in the same location. The General Assembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church voted in 1906 to unite with the Presbyterian Church USA. Many congregations were opposed to this union and voted to continue on as Cumberland Presbyterian congregations. The Dyer congregation polled its people and out of 165 members there were 124 who voted to stay with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Some 25 voted to unite with the Presbyterian Church (USA), and 16 would not express an opinion. The pastor, Rev. E.T. Beard, supported the union and withdrew with those who desired to unite with the Presbyterian Church. Today that congregation is located two lots to the west and is known as the First Presbyterian Church (USA). The Cumberland congregation continued to grow and rooms were added to the building during the following years. The present church building was erected in 1951. The Dyer Cumberland Presbyterian Church is the community’s oldest organized Christian congregation. The 150th birthday celebration was held on July 5, 1998, with a day long celebration. It stands as a reminder of the faith and dedicated lives of many people. Its ministries, in the name of Jesus Christ, extend from the local community to mission fields around the world.
