MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR!
It is God's will for us to be thankful...and we had a special opportunity to celebrate our thankfulness to Jesus last Sunday.  We shared a First Century Communion together!

Thanksgiving Communion  
Thanksgiving Communion

We spent the morning remembering our Jesus--
  • Looking Forward to His Return and Sharing a Meal with Him and His People
  • Participating in His Present Work of Forgiving Sin
  • Remembering His Body and Blood Given for Us

It was a very meaningful time together...and our Lord smiled down upon us and we were blessed because we did it.

ANGEL TREE STILL NEEDS HELP
Angel Tree
Give Joy to a Prisoner's Kid this Christmas.  When mom or dad is in prison, it's the children who do hard time. But you can let them know they are not forgotten. You can give them a gift on behalf of their imprisoned parent and in the name of Jesus.

We are so glad to be a part of the Angel Tree outreach this Christmas season.  You can select a child on SUNDAY as there will be a table with the children we can adopt to bless this Christmas season on behalf of their incarcerated parent.

If you can help, contact our church coordinator Pete Anderson by email.
