A Day for Giving Thanks!

Sunday, November 23, 2014      

10:00am  – Give thanks to God by attending your Bible Study group.

11:00am – Give your praise by worshipping Him. Psalm 100:4 says “Enter into His gates with   

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

                 His name.”

6:00pm – Come and enjoy our annual church-wide Thanksgiving Meal. Please bring plenty of food &

                 drinks (meats, vegetables, desserts, tea, soda, etc.) for your family plus a little 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

                            family. You will miss a real blessing if you miss this!

 Welcome  J. R. & Ashley Myers!

The Youth Director Search Team, Angela Rush, Lindsay McKnight, and

                                            Plan to see “HEAVEN” by Billy Graham

What would you do to help someone know Jesus Christ?

On Sunday, November 16, 2014 at 6:00 pm all you need to do is bring that loved one or friend to Good Hope Baptist Church. Our church has the opportunity to participate in a crusade with Billy Graham’s organization.

The message is powerful! The purpose is to bring those who need Jesus Christ as Savior. List five or six family and friends who need to be saved, begin to pray for them, then ask them to come with you to this momentous event. Let's pray hard and work hard to see souls saved!

BIBLE STUDY IS VITAL TO YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE!

These are the headlines in all the Christian periodicals and all of the Christian leaders agree. Genuine  believers slowly become backslidden when they are not actively involved in a Sunday School class.

Let me challenge you to:

1.     Pray for your class leaders as they study and prepare to share God’s Word with you.

2.     Attend your class! Be on time. We must begin at 10:00am to have time to see what God wants us to discover.

3.     Bring the whole family. It is sad when only some of the family attend and others stay home.

Everyone needs the community of God’s family at Good Hope Baptist Church.

4.     Bring someone with you. We must be focused on others. Throughout the Bible you see God’s people reaching out to include others. Andrew brought Peter.

See you in Sunday School at 10:00am sharp,

Pastor John
