Pastor’s Notes
Today is the last day of
November and Christmas is
only 26 days away….
WHERE HAS ALL THE TIME GONE?
Time seems to be moving faster and faster.
Is it just me or do you feel the same way?
That’s all the more reason to make sure that
we are doing all we can do to keep
ourselves right with the Lord and do all we can to carry out His Great Commission. If
there ever is a time that we need to be “confrontational” with people it is now! Don’t
miss understand me. I’m not saying to be belligerent or bothersome. By
“confrontational” I mean confront them as to whether they know the Lord. Twice on
Sunday I had conversations with people about Jesus. One was to a man who knows about
church but just hasn’t been in a LONG time. I talked to him about the importance of
being ready when the Lord calls us home and that church is good, but church won’t save
you. It is a relationship with Jesus that is important and that relationship makes me love
church! I talked to a Chinese woman who said she didn’t know what she believed. Her
family believes in Jesus but her husband’s family is Buddhist. I told her Jesus is the right
one! If Buddha is still in the grave and Jesus rose from the dead, who would you want to
be your God? I want a LIVING GOD!!!!!!! The greatest revival will be a revival of
God’s people getting turned on to SOUL WINNING! Just tell people what the Lord has
done for you and how important He is to you. Is He important to you? Has He done
anything for you? THEN TELL YOUR STORY!!!!!!!
Please don’t forget that we pray on Monday nights. I know that there
are other things to do on Monday, but is there anything more important
to do? We all have times where we can’t attend due to circumstances,
but we must press through in prayer. Prayer is the power supply with God. Please, put it
on your calendar….INTERCESSORY PRAYER….ever Monday night at 7:00 PM.
Many of you are volunteering to help us at the Soup Kitchen on December 21st …….
WONDERFUL!!!! I think it will be great to show them that our church cares for them,
especially during this Christmas Season. As we get closer, I’ll ask you again to remind
me that you are coming so we can better have a “game plan” for that service. Thanks for
you interest in helping others!
Candlelight service on Wednesday, Dec. 22nd. There will be no classes, no vans running
and no Kidz Kafe. We want everyone to be in the service for a time of reflection and
worship. Please… this is not a service off, so I look for all the ones to join us who aren’t
normally in the sanctuary on Wednesday night.
We’ve already begun receiving calls wanting our assistance with helping purchasing
Christmas for children. As I mentioned last week, the calls for assistance come from
outside the church and sometimes inside the church. We want to insure that children
have a good Christmas. Many times, people inside the church wish to sponsor a child or
adopt a child/family. That would be GREATLY appreciated. If you would be willing to
do so, would you please call the church office and speak to Sis. Faye Arnold or you can
check the bulletin board that is located as you go towards the bathroom. We place some
information there for you to pick up (we do need to know should you pick that up so we
know that is taken care of). There are times when people donate money for this and we
need people to be willing to shop and make the purchases. As you can see, WE NEED
YOU!
