WHY I LOVE MY CHURCH
It is the shrine of my faith at whose altar I offer sacrifices to God.
It is the sanctuary of my worship in whose holy place I seek the presence of
God.
It is a retreat amid the cares of the world where I renew my strength at the
fountain of life.
It is a refuge amid the tempta(ons of life where I li) up my eyes to the hills
whence cometh my help.
It is Bethel amid the fears of life where I catch a vision of the open heavens and
the ministering hosts.
It is the birthplace of faith and hope and love and the cradle of peace and good
will and brotherhood.
It is in the church that I find Christ, hear His word, read and learn the way of life
more perfectly.
It is in the body of the church that I feel the fellowship of a more blessed life,
and find the pure friendships that spring from its faith.
It is the church that calls me to be/er living, and shows me the way of service
through its unselfish ministries.
“Christ loved the church and gave himself for it,” and surely it is worthy of my
best love and loyalty.
--Adiel J. Moncrief

Our children will be leading both services.
It will be a special day you won’t want to miss!!
Neighbors without an Address... In our many travels as a Youth Mission Team
we have dedicated our primary focus on service and
evangelism with the homeless. WAIT! Many of our
partner ministries across the country dissuade the
use of the word “homeless”. There is a s(gma
associated with the word and an immediate mental
image conjured that is dirty, addicted, unstable, and
unapprecia(ve of any help. WRONG! We have found our Neighbors without
Addresses or Friends Searching for a Home to be some of the most humble, grateful, and
faith-filled children of God ever encountered. We don’t need to travel the country to find
these neighbors when they are right in front of us. The average Alabamian is 1 & 1/2
paychecks away from homeless! We are abundantly blessed...let us share God’s boun(ful
love, encouragement, and resources with those struggling to find a place to call home.
This Sunday evening, the Youth will take place in our annual Box City Event. This is
to raise awareness that the struggle to find a home is real and very relevant right here in
Jackson County. This year we are teaming with Jackson County Life Resource Services and
their Sleepout for Homelessness Experience. The Event will be at the Jackson County
Veteran’s Fairgrounds beginning at 3pm un(l 8pm on Oct 13th. The programming will be
indoors and all are welcome to enjoy the games, free food, music (including our CR band,
the Mercy Project), tes(monies, and special speakers. The Youth will then have a (me of
sharing a)er the 8pm closing along with some group fun ac(vi(es. We will be sleeping
under boxes, tents, or the stars just like our neighbors without addresses do on a regular
basis.
Come out and support our Youth and the LRC! Dona(ons all go to our local
homeless ministries. The Youth will be panhandling and welcome “drive by” dona>ons
outside the fairgrounds gates between 7 - 8pm. Thank you for your prayers and support
and Parents please get those registra(ons
in for your students to a/end.
Blessings, Hardin

A Mercy Minute
We all have God given gi)s and talents with
some realized early and some slow to be revealed. Our
speaker this week is Terita St. Julian, an accomplished
Chris(an Author and Speaker. Terita began reading at
age 1 and publishing wri(ngs at age 6. Through her
own experiences and ups with downs as a mother, God
helped her write a book on paren(ng en(tled,
“Teaching Your Children to Remain in the Vine.” She
has found that the more she and her husband say yes
to God...the closer her children draw to Jesus also. We
all have a perfect Father - trust God and entrust your
children to HIM.
Blessings, Hardin
