Announcements
November is a time to
donate toward the purchase of Bibles for the persecuted church. Offerings designated “Persecuted Church
Bibles” will be used to purchase Bibles for the Voice of the Martyrs ministry.
(VOM distributes Bibles around the world and is a trustworthy ministry.) Let’s pray for our fellow Christians’
perseverance and give joyfully for their edification by making the scriptures
available.
Be praying with the
Nominating Committee as it works to prepare a slate of candidates to be
considered for office at the Annual Meeting in February 2018. To submit names, see Olive, Fred or Derek.
Join us for choir practice
one Saturday a month, usually from 9-10:00 am.
If you would like to join the choir, see Kathy or Alice for practice
dates. We would love to have you come sing with us!
Next week marks the
beginning of Advent 2017! Our morning
worship services will commemorate the season with candles, readings, banners,
and special messages. This year’s theme
is “The Spirit of Christmas”. We’ll
examine the role of the Holy Spirit in the familiar Nativity stories –
preparing the way (John the Baptist), working a new creation (Mary), bearing
testimony (Simeon), and granting the favor of sonship (Bethlehem). Pray that this will be an encouraging,
challenging time in our congregation as we reflect on the Spirit’s work at
Christmas – and in our hearts and lives.
