Therefore encourage each other with these words. 
                                        — 1 Thessalonians 4:18

Extend the intimacy of your worship, study, prayer, inspiration and fellowship with one another. Encouraging Words is open weekdays, and one half hour before, and immediately following all worship services and Bible studies at Countryside. (Specific schedule below.) Now on Wednesday and Sunday mornings, before each worship service, there is an assortment of fresh-baked scones and muffins, biscuits and gravy, bagels and fruit for breakfast or just an early morning snack. Grab a friend and a cup of coffee or tea, maybe a fruit-tea smoothie, and enjoy the overflowing refreshment of fellowship in the Lord.

Check out the newest books in the bookstore, enjoying offerings from authors like Chuck Smith, R.A. Torrey, Warren Wiersbe, A.W. Tozer, and A.B. Simpson with topics ranging from the Holy Spirit to Bible Reference, Marriage and Family to Worship music. Also available are tapes from our weekly Topical and In-depth Bible studies and the Things Above Audio Commentaries - the verse by verse teachings from the ongoing Thru the Bible studies given here at Countryside by Pastor Terry.

Encouraging Words also has a wide variety of clothing. Reasonably priced and good looking long sleeve and short sleeve T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and jackets are available for those in search of simple clothing which glorifies our Lord. Or, perhaps you would rather sink into one of the couches or sit at one of the tables with a new book or your Bible and enjoy a latte, a blended or iced coffee and a cookie. However you do it, we are certain that as you enjoy the refreshing atmosphere within Encouraging Words, your cup will truly overflow (Psalm 23:5).

“May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.” —1 Thessalonians 3:12!
