Pray for Deacon Gibbons, Veteran's Day (Freedom Didn't Come Cheaply), Thanksgiving Outreach (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/11)

I'm asking everyone to continue praying for Deacon Gibbons and his health. Also, pray for Sis. Gibbons' strength and encouragement as she cares for her husband.

Today is Veteran's Day. We remember and thank the veterans who helped maintain liberties all of us routinely take for granted. The freedoms we enjoy didn't come cheaply. We should also reflect upon what God has done for us, as the price He paid for our freedom also didn't come cheaply. If you know and love Jesus, it is because He did the impossible for you: He knew and loved you first, paid for your sin on the cross, and reconciled you back to the Father. For that, we should be eternally grateful!

Once again, we are partnering with Mosaic Church for a Thanksgiving Outreach. We will gather on Saturday, Nov. 17th at 9am at Mosaic Church to assemble boxes of food for our adopted neighborhood (same one that we gave school backpacks to) and distribute them that same morning.

Here is what we need:
$10 grocery store gift cards (this goes toward a ham or turkey)
boxed or bag mashed potatoes
canned green beans
canned corn
boxed corn bread mix
gravy packets
canned cranberry sauce

There will be collection boxes out at the church for you to drop off the items. We only have a short runway but I know that we can do it. Also, we need volunteers for the assembly and distribution on 11/17. Please sign-up online. Let's be a blessing to this neighborhood where many are less fortunate than us. Thank you so much for your generosity of your money and time.

Next Sunday, I'm starting a new series in the book of Amos entitled, "Judgment is Coming". This will be a tough series but a timely and needed one. What the prophet Amos tells Israel has contemporary applications to us today.

Today was Youth Sunday , where our children and youth were leading and participating in the worship service. Our children read scripture, prayed, sang, and ministered a fine arts piece.
