"Thank You God"
With Thanksgiving coming this Thursday, (Can you believe it is already Thanksgiving? What happened to the rest of the year?) I’m sure that many of our thoughts are centered around family get-togethers and that wonderful food that God has blessed us with. What a blessing it is to have family! Well, in this time of thoughtful reflection on what God has done for you, I thought I would add a few others for your remembrance. Thank You God for ...

Are You Valuable to God? "A Word from Ryan"
We are very aware of our own imperfections, we are often made to wonder, as did the psalmist, "Who is man that you are mindful of him?" (Psalm 8:4). We sometimes wonder how God could possibly still love us after all our sins? Maybe the answer to that question can be best understood by way of illustration. | |

Christmas Gift
On December 6th, we will offer a Free Day to the members of our congregation. Recognizing that sometimes the best gift you can give to parents is a little free time, we will provide day long child care from 8am to 8pm on this date. This program is a gift from the congregation to itself. Any parent wishing to take advantage of this offer needs to notify the office directly or by dropping a note in the suggestion box letting us know the number and ages of your children. Here is your chance, parents, to do your Christmas shopping, house cleaning, decorating, or just to have a little time to yourself. |

Blessing
"And all nations will call you blessed, For you will be a delightful land," says the Lord of Hosts.
When people receive a gift, they usually cannot wait to tell everyone they know about it. Your children are one of God’s greatest blessings to you. Make sure other people know of your regard for them. Don’t keep their good qualities a secret. Speak of your blessings to others.

Nov 23 - Steve Graham
Suppose I offer you a crisp, new, $100 dollar bill, would you want it? Of course you would. But suppose I crumpled the money up in my fist. Would you still want it? That wouldn't change your mind, would it? Well, suppose I then threw the crumpled $100 dollar bill on the floor and ground it into the floor with my shoe. Would you still want it? Well, of course you would. You see, whether crumpled or crisp, clean or dirty, the $100 dollar bill retains its value.
