The flyers for shoeboxes are located on the table in the Narthex. We will take the shoeboxes to the First Baptist Church November 21st, so we need all shoeboxes at the Church no later than 11 a.m. on the 21st.

The annual Trunk or Treat will be held this afternoon from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. for children ages up to 6th grade. The child/children must be accompanied by an adult. The event will provide an opportunity for the children of our church and the community to have an evening of fun. Members of our congregation are gathering in our parking lot with decorated trunks, truck beds or tables decorated around the theme of Halloween to give out treats. (For those who have decorated your vehicle, please be in the church parking lot between 4:00 and 4:30 p.m.) There will be food and games. Please plan to join us for this fun filled evening. THANK YOU! Thanks to all of YOU for anything you did to make the United Methodist Women’s Turkey Dinner a huge success! We are still receiving compliments from those who ate with us. We couldn’t have done it without you. The United Methodist Women Turkey Dinner Committee CHALLENGES FROM THE BISHOP The Bishop has given us the following two challenges: 1) That our congregation intentionally “disciple” new members. Help them to discover their gifts and talents and to use them in God’s service through the Church. 2) Every day at noon, (the Bishop’s suggestion) stop to pray and give thanks to God for all that God has done since yesterday’s prayer (like a Glory sighting) and ask for ways that you can come alongside Jesus in the ways that Jesus is at work in the community...basically pray: “Thanks! And how can I help Christ?” PRAYER CORNER In today’s passage from Matthew 22:34-46, Jesus’ answers have routed the Sadducees, but not the Pharisees, who are determined to trip Him up. Hence, the question, “Which is the most important command in the laws of Moses?” So, Jesus answers, “Love the Lord your God…” He then says, “Love your neighbor as yourself is the second most important command. If one follows this, then all the other commands fall into place.” [Paraphrased] The love Jesus is expounding is biblical love, which is not passive, nor is it strictly emotional. It is what is called agape love. Agape love refers to loving-kindness. It can be called an active mercy, generous, patient, and not self-serving. One definition of agape love is: love which is of and from God, whose very nature is love itself. It requires us to love our neighbor, and because loving God is “loving our neighbor”, then we must recognize that even our enemies, in the sense of brotherly love, are deserving of our love. Men & Women in the Military Dave Blair Jan Briner Bula Burton Ruth Cade Juanita Cousten Chuck Crawford Kim Dallison Don Frye Wilma Glenn Linda Holman Carla Hopkins Norma Hunley Carol Ann Jackson Loving Savior, our regrets are many when we realize how Genie Kennamer guilty we have been in not understanding or following the Clara Lafferty true meaning of agape love. We are so often focused inwardly that we do not see the hurt that we project outwardly toward those who are deserving of our love and respect. Let us embrace the love that Jesus wished for us in serving Him as an active choice. We wish to be an example of true agape love in our lives and living. Amen.
