GOD’S BEEN GOOD TO ME

I’m mindful of the blessings

That come my way each day.

My heart is over flowing

Each time I kneel to pray.

I’m thankful for the seasons; each one’s a masterpiece.

I’m allowed to work the land but God still holds the lease.

I’m grateful for the friendships that brighten sorrow’s way

Because my cup of happiness sustains me every day.

I love the children and the flowers that decorate my life

And the quiet, gentle hours free from worry and strife.

I’m grateful for eyes that see the beauty of it all

Because God’s been good to me and blessed me through it all.

I’m thankful for the little things that fill my life with love.

The best things in life are free; they come from God Above.

A Day for Giving Thanks!

Sunday, November 22, 2012

10:00a.m. Give thanks to the Lord by attending Bible Study. Let’s have a full house

to honor Him!

11:00a.m. Give your praise to the Lord by worshipping Him. “Enter into His gates

with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him and

bless His holy name.” Psalm 100:4

6:00p.m. Come and enjoy our church-wide Thanksgiving Meal. Please bring plenty

of food & drink (meats, vegetables, desserts, tea, soft drinks) for your family

plus a little extra for guests.

Share Service – after the meal we will have the opportunity to give thanks to

the Lord and share how He has blessed this past year. This is always a special

time in the life of our church. You will miss a true blessing if you miss this!

We are living in dangerous days. The world, flesh and devil are working hard to destroy believers. How can we survive against such enemies? Only a strong relationship with the Lord will help us live a successful Christian life. He wants to build our life on the permanence of the eternal, not the instability of the temporal.

As your Pastor, I urge you to be faithful to the worship services that you may grow. I am preaching through the book of Hebrews and we have learned that if we start to drift from the Word, then we will also start to doubt the Word. Before long, we will get dull toward the Word and become lazy believers.

The Lord wants us to be “busy about the Masters business.” The best way to keep from drifting is to lay hold of the anchor of our soul - Jesus Christ!

Don’t miss worship this Sunday as we discover “The Hope of God” in Hebrews 6:13-20.

Bring the family and invite a friend!

PLEASE HELP VICTIMS OF HURRICANE SANDY THIS SUNDAY!

Southern Baptists respond to disasters. Our Disaster Relief Volunteers

contribute manpower, ministry, and financial help during floods, hurricanes,

tornadoes, fires, earthquakes, and urban disasters. We provide relief to

victims in areas affected by disaster—including feeding units, shower and

laundry units, mud-out and chain-saw units. Victims receive these services

through trained disaster relief volunteers. Volunteers include trained

chaplains who travel with DR units and minister to the spiritual needs of hurting people.

On Sunday, November 11, 2012, we will receive contributions to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Please use your offering envelope or pick up one at the church and designate the amount you can give to help so many in need. One hundred percent of your gift goes to assist the victims.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

God can use a shoebox to change a life! A simple act can have an eternal impact on a deserving child. Please participate in this wonderful ministry by picking up a brochure and a box at church and stuffing it with inexpensive items for girls and boys. The boxes are collected and distributed around the world to children and the Gospel is shared with families. Boxes must be turned in to the church by November 14^th .

CHILDREN’S FOOD DRIVE
