Election Reflection, Pray for Downing Family, Fall Spuce Up (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/13)

Let me address the recent election: God's sovereignty is not something you only claim when things go your way...God is also sovereign when events happen that you don't like or agree with. And I see too many Christians attacking and belittling either Trump or those who support him, claiming they're just returning what people did to Obama. But Christians are not to return evil for evil! We overcome evil with good. Besides we have too much Kingdom work to do. Living under President Trump is NOT the worst thing that can happen. You know what is? Dying without Jesus!

Thanks to all who were able to come out the home-going celebration for Sis. Claudette VanFoote. Please continue to pray for the family.

Some of you have heard that Bro. Dominick Downing was involved in a tragic car accident on early Friday morning where he lost both of his legs and his cousin died. Please keep Dominick, Sis. Tracy Dunn (Dominick's mom), and the entire Downing family in your prayers.

Please join us for our Fall Spruce up on 11/19 from 9am to 12pm. Any time that you can donate (30 minutes to a couple of hours) will be greatly appreciated as we work to keep our church clean.

Last Friday was Veterans Day and we give honor to all of our veterans who have served our country.
