No Bible Study, Fall Spruce Up Stats, Stay Warm Drive (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/18)

Bible Study is canceled on Wednesday due to the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday. We'll be back the following week with our final session on "Who Did Jesus Die For?". Enjoy Thanksgiving with your family and friends. We have much to be thankful for!

Thanks to all who came out yesterday to help clean the church for our Fall Spruce UP. Here are the stats:

13 members (2 youth and 1 new member)
13 members from Leadership
1 visitor – (A big shout-out to Bishop Eric Ellis of New Restoration Outreach Christian Center in Raleigh)
We worked 46.38 total hours for a total savings of $1,159.58.
A huge thank you to Elder Bobby Dunn for really stepping up and helping out.

Devoted Disciples Youth Ministry will be doing a Stay Warm Drive from 11/25 to 12/23. Please bring in hats, scarves, gloves, & blankets to be donated to the homeless.

Today, we started our new sermon series called "Wounded: How the Gospel Heals the Sexually Hurting". As we go through this series, we'll be tackling some very sensitive subjects that could possibly trigger those who have been sexually wounded in the past. So please feel to step out of the sanctuary if you need to. We'll have people available to pray for you. We also have children's church and youth service available for the children to attend. At any point, feel free to reach out to me or someone else that you trust to get help.

Responding to the Flooding, Christmas in July Food Drive, New Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/13)

As of Friday evening, the confirmed death toll in Texas has risen to 129, with at least 150 individuals still missing across the state. Our hearts are heavy, and we grieve for the lives lost and the families enduring unimaginable pain. One of the first things people tend to do is look for someone to blame. Was it the fault of the warning system not being early enough? Was it the fault of the government (state and federal)? Was it the fault of God? If God is so good, why do we suffer with natural disasters like flooding that takes the lives of seemingly innocent people like young children? The reality is that the fault lies with us. Humanity decided to rebel against the Creator God, thereby, ushering in sin and the fall from God's perfect creation. Natural disasters happen because we live in a fallen world ravaged by sin. Natural disasters like these floods are trag...
