The month of November saw us continue where we were working through the Gospel of Matthew in the first part of the month with a wonderful transition of thankfulness through selected scripture near the latter half of the month.
Click HERE for a link to one of the MOST AMAZING MESSAGES on gratitude and thankfulness you have ever heard!
I am blown away by how thankful, grateful, and blessed I am and how God's favor has shown up in relationships leading to people stepping OUT in faith and UP for the Kingdom!
There is no other place you can go all week that looks more like Heaven than with our church body worshipping our Savior together on a Sunday. This is the closest we get to God all week - Pastor Doug
That was the point this month. Check out how we stepped into lives with a Park Day...
After a meal fit for a king, people were getting ready for a cornhole tournament together, and...
Several people from different ramadas came over and gospel conversations and connections were made!
Followed by the generosity and love of family worshipping over Thanksgiving together...
People serving people as Christ served His church!!!
Operation Christmas Child
The church partnered with Samaritan's Purse for another year to pack 307 shoeboxes for children around the world starving for the light of Christ. Amazing stories are already coming from what God is doing! This is what we can spend eternity watching fruit rise from - People giving, people loving, and Christ winning!
We are moving into the Advent season where we stare with wonder at how the GOD OF THE UNIVERSE would choose to come down to be with us!
Until next month or when the Lord returns, stay faithfully devoted to the One who is faithfully devoted to you! To get your head in the right spot, here is a little poll to consider. Ask yourselves where you stand on this:
What are you most looking forward to in December?
The wonder of Christmas
The wonder of Jesus
The wonder of God's grace in your life
Much love in Christ,
- Elder Jeff
