sanctuary.

ELDER INVITATION

Following morning worship, the elders will be available to members

and guests for prayer and ministry. Simply come to the front of the

sanctuary where we will be glad to: pray for your personal needs, lead

you in receiving Jesus Christ as your Savior, discuss church

membership.

November 9, 2014

ESPECIALLY FOR OUR GUESTS

We are glad to have you worship with us today. You

are worshiping with people who experience the same

difficulties of life as you. We have nothing to boast

about except the God we worship. Please relax and fo-

cus upon the Lord Jesus who loves you and desires for

you to follow Him. While God has surely led you here,

you likely still have a number of important questions

about us; how to get more involved and connected in

meaningful relationships or about your own personal or spiritual needs.

If so, please allow us to help you by completing the guest registration

inside the back cover or by coming forward during the invitation time.

LATE BREAKING NEWS...Continued

PERSPECTIVES ON THE

WORLD CHRISTIAN

MOVEMENT Get threaded into the biggest

story of all time. You're about to

experience God's heart for all

peoples and encounter the

momentum of the World

Christian Movement. Perspec-

tives will give you fresh eyes to

see God, His story, His world,

and His heart. Come learn how he

wants to include YOU in His

plans and purposes.

Audit the course or take it for 3

hours credit at OU!

Classes will be held at the Para-

digm (BCM) Building on Monday

nights from 6-9 pm, January

12th through May 4th. For

more information, contact

Debby at PerspectivesNor-

man@gmail.com or Carol Ann.

The class is not only for

students. If you will require child

care, please contact us ASAP to

let us know.

CHRISTMAS DECORATING

As we prepare our hearts for this glorious season, let us

beautify our church for the celebration. On the Sunday

before Thanksgiving (November 23rd) we are going to

deck the halls and decorate the walls for Christmas. It’s

a big church, so the more that help with this merry job,

the faster it will get done. We need strong arms and

backs to carry boxes and wreaths, creative hands to arrange, some who

will climb ladders, and some who will help set things up. We’d like

help to carry boxes downstairs right after morning worship, and then

except for a lunch break, we will be here all day. To help for any

amount of time, call or text Janet Banks or Angie Bushey . Thank you!

MISSIONS MINISTRY UPDATES

We often receive email prayer

requests about language study.

One of our missionaries in Asia

relayed some of her thoughts on

this matter. In the midst of feeling

exhausted, she still practices her

writing and memorizes new vo-

cabulary. She has a dictation test

every day at the language school.

Sometimes she feels unproduc-

tive and like a child again, but

she realizes that learning the lan-

guage will help her tremendously

in future ministry. She thanks

God for that reminder!

Justin D. and Sean H. are plan-

ning to join the next trip to China

during Spring Break. We still

need teams for the Summer and

the Fall in 2015. The Missions

Prep class on Wednesday eve-

nings at 6:00 PM is usually a

prerequisite. Did you hear that

John L. and Jim H. D. of TCF

met our first Naisu Christians

during their September trip? In

fact, they found a village with 50-

60 Christians where a two-story

church building is under con-

struction! The two Black Yi sis-

ters and a Mr. Chen, who previ-

ously accompanied our teams, are

planning to make follow-up visits

to Red Yi (Naisu) villages before

we return in March.

Another one of our single, young

missionaries in the Middle East

asks prayer for her team as they

prepare for the annual Christmas

Eve service. Over 1,000 attend

that event and many are not be-

lievers. Pray that their hearts will

be open. The church’s website is

the primary way people find out

about their church, but the team

decided it is not functioning as it

should. Amanda has been tasked

to develop a new website. She is

one of the staff who raises her

own support. Will you prayerful-

ly ask the Lord if He might want

you to financially support her

work? The congregation there is

made up of expatriates from all

over the world.

Elsewhere, many of our mission-

aries in other countries will also

have opportunities to share the

true meaning of Christmas.

Please ask the Lord to prepare

hearts.

Missionary birthday: Linda L. in

E. Asia, Monday, November 3.

Trinity Chinese Fellowship had

their monthly prayer meeting last

Wednesday night at 7:15 PM.

They include prayer items for our

adopted people group, the Naisu,

each month.
