Volume 23 Friday, November 16, 2018 Issue 19

Our church family is collecting new and VERY gently used coats for a coat giveaway to be held December 15. Coats can be deposited in the Main Foyer or the Preschool Foyer on the racks provided. For those who can afford it, we suggest that you provide one coat in the same size as each person in your family. Or you can provide just one coat.

Additionally, we will be collecting new winter scarves, hats and socks in varying sizes. Martha Fachko has agreed to serve as coordinator for this outreach effort and you can reach her at 904-838-8017 if you have questions or would like to help. We are looking forward to this opportunity to provide not just coats, but to share the hope of Jesus Christ with those who may not know Him.

Pastor’s Bible Study

Led by Pastor Lynn Hyatt weekly Meets in the Chapel at 6:45 PM

Have you ever had a question in the middle of a sermon and wished you could just raise your hand and get an answer? Well, this is the class for you. Each week Pastor Lynn takes a topic or a book of the Bible and breaks it down into bite sized chunks that are easy to understand and apply to your life. And, if it doesn’t make sense to you, just ask a question.

WHY HER? How many times have you asked yourself that question? How many times have you felt like you couldn’t measure up no matter how hard you tried? We’ve all been there.

Through 6 sessions, arm yourself with biblical truths to combat comparison by studying the account of Rachel and Leah. Learn to be content without becoming complacent, and discover Godly wisdom to quiet the incessant “Why her?” question in your head.

What’s New!

Angel Tree® is a Prison Fellowship® program that serves incarcerated parents by giving them a pathway to restore and strengthen relationships with their children and

families. Every Christmas, Angel Tree mobilizes local churches and organizations to minister to hundreds of thousands of children by delivering a gift, the Gospel message, and a personal message of love on behalf of their mom or dad behind bars.

This will be our church family’s 10th year of participating. There are two ways to participate: you can select a child and purchase gifts, or you can help by delivering the donated gifts to the children on December 15th. If you would like to help, or have questions, please contact Lynn Thomas at lynnmth@windstream.net or sign-up following services.
