We will be heading to Portland after service on Sunday November 13th, 2011. If you haven’t been with us yet, this would be a great time. We are still in need of snack items and cold weather items to be donated. We need things like long johns (tops and bottoms), scarves, blankets, quilts, sweaters and any food item that does not need a can opener. If you are able to donate please bring these items before November 13 to the church. The best time would be before service on Sunday mornings. Service starts at 10 AM
Pastor John continue in his Faith’s Building Blocks series with part 5. This week he addresses the difficulties we experience while building faith. He begins with John 16:33 and 2 Corinthians 6:4.
DON’T FORGET . . . that on “First Sundays,” we celebrate the ordinance of The Lord’s Supper together as a family, followed by a fellowship/ pot luck/ pot faith celebration!
November’s “First Sunday” falls on the weekend of our “Ladies Retreat;” so I would ask that the men pick up the responsibility of preparing the food for the fellowship that Sunday afternoon. I’m thinking that the food will be incredibly awesome . . . we can do this !!!
Sound familiar? Life is filled with things you don’t expect. Trouble comes at the most inopportune times … yet is a part of all of our lives. Either you just got out of trouble – - – you’re in it right now – - – or you’re headed into it. And we often ask God; WHY ME? How can this be a part of your plan for me? How can this be “good?”
The Bible tells us that we’ll have difficulties. Bring a guest with you Sunday as we look at how God uses the troubles that come into our lives to grow us and strengthen our faith.
Hello Ladies,
Well retreat is about a month away.
We have about 15- 20 ladies coming. Praise GOD. As always bring a friend.
Several sisters have asked what is the theme of the Retreat. It is called Sweet Life Cafe. No, not based on (almost) everyone’s favorite coffee. But on bread. Through these devotions/ studies we will see that Jesus is the bread of life. ( and I know we know this but it is good to revisit this message.) Just to be nourished by Him and share with each other.
Some of us may find God’s word sweet, others savory, and still others spicy. Come and share with your sisters.
Prayerfully we will find rest, laughter, share story, and grow closer to each other.
Pastor John continues his Faith’s Building Blocks series. This week he focuses on delay. He uses Exodus 13:17 and Deuteronomy 8:2 to get us focused.
