The Timely Messenger is a Bible study paper that our founding pastor, Ike T. Sidebottom began publishing in 1940. This little paper was not a church newsletter, though it did contain announcements about special events such as conferences, VBS, camps, and retreats. We have issues from 2003 to 2016, when we stopped publication. The articles are listed in alphabetical order in order to group series of articles together.
