Tennison Memorial Hosts 2010 Lenten Series

2010 LENTEN SERIES – MARCH 14-15
Tennison Memorial United Methodist Church

We invite you all to join us for these special opportunities of worship, fellowship and (of course) food during our annual Lenten series. We are thrilled to have Dr. Pat Day as our guest speaker.

Dr. Day has served as senior pastor of First United Methodist Church in Shreveport since 1992. He was instrumental in leading a major turn-around of the 3,800 member congregation. The Sunday worship services are broadcast each week on the NBC affiliate KTAL and on the ABC affiliate KTBS.
Dr. Day earned his B.A. degree from Austin College in 1971, his Master of Theology degree from Southern Methodist University in 1975, and his Doctor of Ministry degree from SMU in 1976.

He is a member of the National Speakers Association and is in constant demand as an inspirational and motivational speaker for churches, schools, colleges, conferences, civic organizations, and community events. He has also written several articles for Net Results magazine for evangelism and church growth, and is the author of the inspirational book “Growing Into Greatness.”

We do hope you will make every effort to attend each service, and to invite others to join us for what promises to be a glorious time of worship, preparing our hearts for the celebration of our Lord’s resurrection at Easter!

A SPECIAL INVITATION FOR PASTORS – On Monday, March 15, at 2PM, Dr. Day will lead a workshop for pastors on Passionate Worship, sharing ideas and resources to help you better plan and prepare for worship.
