Saturday

Commit your work to the Lord,

and your plans will be established.

~Proverbs 16:3~

 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

and do not lean on your own understanding.  

~Proverbs 3:5~

And this gospel of the kingdom

will be proclaimed throughout the whole world

as a testimony to all nations,

and then the end will come.  

~Matthew 24:14~

 

Operation Christmas Child

  • “My neighborhood church collected items during vacation bible school. I pick stuff up all year round and have a bin full to fill shoebox. This year I took my 5 year old nephew to the store to pick up some toys he thought other children might like. He was so excited to take his bag of toys, school supplies, and hygiene items and donate them!” – Melanie S.“I was shocked that someone I didn’t even know would take the time to pray for me.” – Divine, shoebox recipient
  • On the shoebox gift distribution day, there was a girl who was very poor and her shoes were broken. When she opened the shoebox there was a pair of shoes her size. She put them on and couldn’t stop crying for joy. – Pastor Pedro, Colombia
  • “Blessed is he who considers the poor; The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth. You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies. The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed.” Psalm 41:1-3
  • Today at 1 P.M., FBC, K will have a craft day to make items to go in the shoeboxes.  Join us in the fellowship hall to help (no special skills required).

Fall Food Round-Up

Sunday is your last opportunity to take staples or checks to your local church for pick-up early Monday morning.  The children of the LA Baptist Children’s Home will be blessed by the food you contribute.

There are many names listed on the prayer lists of individual churches.  Please pray for each family and for the family of those who are not listed, but have a need.                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Be a blessing to others today as He blesses you!
