Dear Friends in Christ, Drought in Missouri, wild fires out west, floods all over, hurricanes out east, let’s take a minute, yes right now, stop read-ing, and thank God for all the blessings He has given us. Let’s pray for all those who are dealing with the drought, the fires and the floods. Volcanoes in Hawaii, hurricanes in the Atlantic, earth-quake in Indonesia, dam collapse in Laos, Tropical storms in the Pacific. Yes, all around the world, there are catastrophe’s hap-pening. Even during all these hard times, God is hard at work through us. A young girl in Florida raises thousands selling cup-cakes to help the homeless, Thai boys soccer team rescued from cave, customers at a Connecticut Dunkin’ Donuts do a 3 1/2 hour pay it forward chain. When was the last time you were personally involved in helping someone else. Thanksgiving is coming soon, and I know I have much to be thankful for. As we celebrate Thanks-giving and then prepare to celebrate the greatest gift ever given at Christmas. I hope that I get the opportunity to help others less fortunate. I hope you to have been blessed and that you will join me in this quest. But no matter what I have the opportunity to do, may God be given all the glory, for without Him I am nothing. Serving Him for You!

Hi Everyone I’m Deacon

If you’ve been to Heit’s Point over the past few years, you may have noticed me sitting quietly at Jesus’s feet on the rocks by the waterfall in the Lobby. I have enjoyed my roll in the lobby. Some groups dress me up for their event. I’ve been an Irishman, I’ve worn Mardi Gras beads, and most recently I was a super hero. But what I’ve enjoyed most is witnessing all the people that have come and grown in their relationship with Christ through worship and with each other through fellowship.

This coming year I hope to be more active in my ser-vice. I will be sharing with you about upcoming events and what people have shared about their experiences. If you need my help, contact Mark and he can tell you what I’m capable of.

I’m looking forward to serving you when you’re here.

Sincerely

Deacon
