God Saves & Heals, Senior Members Fellowship, Holiday Extravaganza (Pastoral Emphasis for 12/10)

We give all praises to God who has saved three individuals over the past two weeks: an adult and two children. Heaven rejoices when just one sinner repents! Soli Deo Gloria!

We were also praising God for healing Sis. Francine Thorne. Sis. Thorne shared her testimony about how her cancer returned (for the third time) and she went to Georgia for a second opinion. The doctors there gave her the same diagnosis but when they did a biopsy, the results came back with NO CANCER!! God truly has the final say so. He has more work for Sis. Thorne to do.

A couple of years ago, the elders started fellowshipping with our senior members over a meal during the Christmas holiday. We will be doing it again this year.  We don't want to miss anyone, so if we have not contacted you and you're a member age 70 or older who would like to participate, please contact the church office.

Everyone is invited to join us for a Holiday Extravaganza on 12/16 at 4 pm at Mt. Zion. This event is co-sponsored by my pastor's prayer group (PPT). Our churches will get together for an evening of worship, music, sacred arts, and fellowship. We'll also be collecting items for a Winter Drive. Please bring coats, hats, gloves, socks, blankets, toiletries, etc.

Minnesota School Shooting, Music Ministry Recruitment, Ark Encounter Trip (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/31)

Minnesota School Shooting Our hearts are heavy over the tragic school and church shooting in Minneapolis at Annunciation Catholic School, where two children lost their lives and many others—some as young as six—are recovering from serious injuries. Sadly, we couldn't get through a full week of traditional school before something like this happens. In this time of profound sorrow, let us hold close in prayer the grieving parents, families, and the entire Annunciation community. Though we cannot fully comprehend their pain, we can stand alongside them in faith, offering compassion, and intercession. May God bring comfort to those who mourn, healing to the wounded, and peace to a terrified community.  Of course, a mass shooting always brings up the issue for stricter gun laws. I agree we do need good legislation and sensible gun laws because it is the government's responsibility to protect its citizens. Ultimately, that will not solve our problem. For a country that has been ...
