From Your Pastor
In days where we see very little in our world and nation to
be thankful for it is just the time to go to God and give Him
thanks for who He is, His sovereign hand in this world and
Pastor Bill Rigsby His faithfulness to His children. We should also be thankful for all those things which He has provided for us as a
church and our own family as well as personally. Our God has been good
to us and has not failed to care for us in all situations.
Giving thanks is the theme of November. When our early settlers came
onto the cold shores of New England they experienced hardships which
we can’t imagine, yet when the winter was over and the harvest came,
eventually, they gave thanks even though they had lost loved ones to
death and life was still very hard for them.
You see our thanksgiving should not come only when we receive good
things from the hand of God but in essence we are to thank God in every
situation of life that comes our way no matter what we experience. (1
Thessalonians 5:18, “…give thanks in all circumstances, for this is
God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”) Being a faithful God, He is aware of
all our needs and is working in all things, good or bad, for our good.
(Romans 8:28, “And we know that in all things God works for the good
of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”)
So beloved, give thanks to our Father in heaven who loves you in every
situation you are going through and who is working in those experiences
to make you more like Jesus and is giving you opportunities to trust Him
even in the tough times of life.
With a thankful heart to God for our wonderful church family and your
faithfulness to Him, our Lord and Savior,

Letter from your Minister of Administration & Education…
Each month I usually look back at what I wrote a year ago. Funny thing is that
this month God is leading me to write about love, which is exactly what I wrote
about last year at this time. I would like to rewrite something from the book The
Love Dare For Parents by Stephen and Alex Kendrick.
Every child is a one of a kind mini-masterpiece. No known duplicates exist. They
each have distinctive fingerprints, heart rhythms, eye patterns, and blood constitution. Even identical twins can be physically alike and yet light years apart in
how they are mentally wired and gifted. Our children do not just grow up different; they show up different.
Though circumstances and training will greatly affect their lives, the originality
that is already ingrained into each of our children reflects brilliant preplanning.
Every birthmark is a trademark. Every special feature is a signature of divine design.
God is always intentional as to why He makes each child the way He does. He
desires His power, creativity, and image to be uniquely reflected in each living
soul. Even in His allowance of unexpected birth defects, His conclusions are kind
(John 9:1-3). His strength is often revealed most vividly through human weakness, cultivating deeper character and compassion in their families.
Your children are also distinctively prepared for the purpose of helping others
(Ephesians 2:10). He places them into a specific time and space and enables them
to thrive where others are ill-equipped, to meet unique needs others cannot.
So when you consider the wonders of each of your children, love invites you as a
parent to go on an adventure of discoverer by unpacking the marvelous mystery
of their design.
It is good to ask: How are they wired? How are they unique? Who are they becoming? What is already in them that needs to be discovered and inspired?
Loving parenting requires discovery with direction. It’s listening and learning
how a child thinks, dreams, and grows. It’s separating their God-given leaning
from their temporary longing. It’s watching their habits, guarding them against
their weaknesses, and growing them in their strengths.
Special Health Note...Please pray that our church body will demonstrate love and compassion for
members who have chronic breathing conditions - asthma, COPD, emphysema, allergies, etc. by
reserving men's cologne, after shave, ladies' perfumes, body sprays, etc. to wear places other than
church. Fragrances often irritate and inflame these conditions creating serious health problems. May North Anderson Baptist be filled only with the fragrance of Christ. On behalf of all concerned, I thank you for your caring prayers.

In Flanders Fields
By John McCrae
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly.
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

An Open Letter
So, you are in your late teens or early 20’s. Now what? You are making some of life’s major
decisions that will have long term impacts:
What career path will you take?
What friendships will you make?
Who will you marry?
Will I marry?
What about money?
The potential to make choices similar to your peers and follow the trends of our culture are
enormous. But, are these the best choices for you? Many of your peers will make choices
that lead to deepening debt, relationship issues, possible addiction issues and a generally unfulfilled life.
Your life can be different. Come fellowship and study God’s Word with us as we seek to
learn how to use Biblical principles to lay a solid foundation for the future. God’s plan is to
prosper you, not harm you, to give you a hope and a future. (Jer 29:11) But, the catch is,
you have to do it His way. See you Sundays at 5 pm.
NORTH ANDERSON BAPTIST CHURCH
You’ll find us to be a Christ-centered, friendly church
committed to reaching people and growing believers.
WATCHCARE MINISTRY
We offer a unique membership opportunity for college students. NABC will be your “home
away from home.” You are invited to
Join our Watchcare Ministry. As a
Watchcare member you will participate
in NABC as a full member, yet you
maintain a permanent membership
in your home church.

Dear Friends,
Bill Rigsby
Pastor
Dennis Walker
Minister of Administration
& Education
Christmas is just around the corner and I know most of you are already
planning socials. We would like to try something new this year and need
your help. Our hope is that each Sunday School Class will have their
Christmas Party/Social at the Church in your respective rooms on Sunday
night December 7th starting at 5 pm. The children’s Christmas Party will
be down in the children’s rooms and gym starting at 5 pm.
Steve Gibson
Worship Leader
Billy Sistrunk
Minister of Deaf
We hope that each class will enjoy themselves for a while in their own
class and then maybe move around and socialize with another class or
two. This would be a great time to fellowship with your class and with
others during the holidays and to invite those church members and visitors
who do not come to Sunday School.
Dennis Walker
Minister of Administration & Education
Diana Beall
Administrative Assist.

Church Event Updates & Notes…
Church Council “Drive Thru Nativity” Decision
Towards the end of the April meeting our Drive Thru Nativity was discuss. Everyone loved this
past year’s Drive Thru and a discussion was held about how often we should do the Drive
Thru. The council voted to run the Drive Thru every other year with this year 2014 taking
off. The council felt that we would build more excitement within our membership if the Drive
Thru was every other year. It was also the feeling that we could use the off year to repair sets and
costume. Thank you for all your support with the Drive Thru Nativity.
