A TIME TO SAY THANKS
The Bible Exhorts us to be a thankful
people. Offer unto God thanksgiving;
and pay your vows unto the Most High:
and call upon me in the day of trouble: I
will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
(Psalm 50:14-15). Let us come before his
presence with thanksgiving, and make a
joyful noise unto him with psalms. (Psalm
95:2)
It is so easy to take our blessings for
granted and fail to be a joyful and
thankful people. We can fail to thank
the Lord for our salvation, our health,
our occupations, our home, our loved
SANCTUARY CHOIR
Choir Members, work is going
well on our Christmas cantata,
Christmas Is Jesus. It will be
presented, Sunday, December
21st during the Morning Worship Service. Please mark your
calendars now and don’t miss
out on this time of praise to our
Lord!
Thank you for your faithfulness
and hard work. Our attendance
has been great the last few
ones and friends.
In all our forgetfulness we can forget
that Christ built us, His Church, in
which to worship and reach the lost
for His glory.
their personal Lord and Savior. To
some in our church this is a special
time of Thanksgiving because they
have recently received Jesus as Lord
and Savior. Before, they were not able
to thank God for the gift of salvation
in Christ. To us who have known the
Lord for a long time we will too have a
special thanksgiving because of Him.
The Lord is even good to those who
hate Him for He could cast them into
hell ahead of their time. Even the
demons were not judged until their
time. While the demons’ judgment is
fixed and cannot be changed, the lost We Love each of you,
have this time of grace in which to Bro. Benson
escape the wrath of God to come by
receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as

Discipleship Training each Sunday. Encourage those you may
know that don’t attend regularly
to be here each week. There’s a
class & a place for everyone.
Let’s continue to be in prayer
for one another and encourage
one another to grow in our daily
walk with Jesus and learn to be
disciples together.
Hey guys & gals, it was good to
see all of you in church Sunday.
Some really inspiring messages
came from the pulpit during both
services that I believe spoke to a
lot of us. What a day!
We missed those of you that

here Wednesday night. Don’t

more, neither shall there be
mourning, nor crying, nor pain
anymore, for the former things
have passed away.” (ESV) Have
you ever really looked forward to
something? Something that you
just feel like you just can’t wait
another minute for. Well here’s a
passage that describes something
that I just can’t wait for. Won’t
it be great when He will wipe
away every tear from our eyes;
when death will be no more;
when we will no longer mourn;
when we will no longer cry; and
when we will no longer experience pain! All those things will
be passed away. They will no
longer exist. Wow! That is something to look forward to. Sometimes we don’t realize what we
may be taking part in regarding
the work of the Lord.
Have you ever considered the
impact that the shoebox and
clothing ministry has on the people of El Salvador? We only see
the initial stage of the work.
The desired result for every item
sent is to be a tool to be used to
share the love of God with someone. We must take every opportunity to share the love of God. The
greatest need of every man, woman,
boy or girl is that
they meet Jesus.
Let’s do all we
can to help them
meet Him.

was representative of the caring church you are. It was such a
blessing to see many souls who have had a great influence on
our lives during the past 32 years of ministry. If we may in any
