Operation Christmas Child – Last night, someone asked me to shop for them, as I have done before.  If you would rather not do the shopping, I will be glad to do that for you.  I will also show you what I purchased and give you the receipt.

This week we are shopping for pencils and pens. The following week we will be purchasing the $1.00 calculators.  They are on sale now at some stores.   If you find them, you may want to make your purchase now.

 

Be a blessing to others today.

Thank-you to all who brought highlighters for Operation Christmas Child.  We will be collecting small glue sticks next Sunday.  I added a box under the stairwell steps for those who find it inconvenient to come to my classroom, but delivery to my classroom before Sunday School will still be an option.  I know we will have sufficient notebooks, but will check on other items and post their status periodically.  Each item you bring is greatly appreciated and will make some child very thankful.  Remember, the shoeboxes are an opportunity to share Jesus with the children.  Also, remember we will be collecting donations to help pay the shipping for the boxes.  The packing party will be the first Saturday of November.  Plan to be there to share the joy and excitement.

 

Friday morning Bible study will focus on Ezekiel 19 this week.

 

Start this week off right by checking on someone.  Both of you will be blessed!  It was certainly a sweet time when we share all the many names of those who are sick last night.  I trust each of you will make some visits….

Friday

Do not be anxious about anything,

but in every situation,

by prayer and petition,

with thanksgiving,

present your requests to God.

And the peace of God,

which transcends all understanding,

will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Wednesday night, after prayer meeting, mission’s class, and youth,  we had a visitor at church.  It was Nathan Bell.  He thanks the adults there who had been great influences on his life, people who encouraged, even pushed him in the right direction.  Nathan has served on three foreign fields and hopefully is moving from the west coast to the east coast with his family.  He spoke of the influence of FBC, Kentwood on his life.  I can say it was a blessing to have been part of those he chose to see that night.  Thank-you, Nathan, for being a man who showed your appreciation this week.  May God continue to watch over you and your family.

 

 

Mrs. Ruby Dillon continues to not feel her best.  She will see her doctor Tuesday.  Please continue to pray for her.
