Invitation to Christian Discipleship
As we embrace a new year and our new theme on
Fellowship, scripture gives us some insight into how we
show hospitality to others and to whom we show that
hospitality. While it’s easy to fellowship with those we
know and have similarities with, God’s formula for
fellowship calls us to extend our fellowship to the least,
the lost and the left out.
Benediction
Happy Birthday to all

November is Diabetes Awareness Month
America Gets Cooking to Stop Diabetes
Whether on tour, meeting her fans or relaxing at home with family, DJ Spinderella, member of the iconic
hip-hop group Salt-n-Pepa, is passionate about ending diabetes once and for all. She has personally seen
the severe consequences the disease has on not only the person with the disease, but an entire family. Her
own mother passed away from complications of type 2 diabetes, and now she watches her brother live
with type 2 and young nephew live with type 1 every day.
“Though I’ve experienced devastating loss from this disease, people need to know that diabetes doesn’t
have to conquer you,” she said. “With a sensible diet and exercise, you can take charge of your diabetes
and help prevent its deadly complications. For those at risk for type 2 diabetes, you can even prevent or
delay the disease.” To help spread this message, Spinderella is joining the American Diabetes Association
this November during American Diabetes Month® by challenging New Mount Olive Community to begin
living a healthier lifestyle through the America Gets Cooking to Stop Diabetes campaign, presented by Sun
Life Financial. This initiative is designed to engage and empower Americans to cook nutritious and delicious food, and encourage them to be more active.
Nearly 30 million children and adults in the United States are living with diabetes. The goal for American
Diabetes Month and beyond is to show Americans that it’s not too late to start living a healthy active
lifestyle and you can even have fun while doing it.”
Lifeline Screening
Do you know how to recognize the warning signs of a stroke? If you or someone you know is experiencing any of the below symptoms, call 911 right away. It is important to seek medical treatment immediately. Symptoms include: Sudden Numbness, Difficulty Speaking, Severe Dizziness, Loss of Coordination,
Sudden Loss of Vision, Sudden Intense Headache, Brief Loss of Consciousness.
Protect your health by finding out your risk of having a stroke by participating in the Life Line Screening
that will be at Mount Olive Baptist Church on Wednesday, December 3, 2014. Through ultrasound we
evaluate the carotid arteries for the buildup of fatty plaque, which is the leading cause of stroke. Register
today for the Stroke, Vascular & Heart Rhythm package, which includes four screenings: carotid artery,
abdominal aortic aneurysm, peripheral arterial disease and atrial fibrillation. In order to register for this
event and to receive a $10 discount off any package priced above $129, please call 1-888-653-6441 or visit

Financial Literacy: Bible Tip for Managing Your Finances
Feeling Rich? Give Thanks to God
Jeremiah 9:23-24
"This is what the Lord says: 'Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of
his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for
in these I delight,' declares the Lord."
Deuteronomy 8:18
"Remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth."
O Give Thanks Unto the Lord for He is Good!!!
We take this opportunity to say “Thank you” to our members who accepted the 96th Church Anniversary Challenge of contributing $96.00 to The Movement Campaign.
The author of Acts reminds us 9 times between chapters 2 and 11 that the more obedient, willing to
sacrifice and loving toward each other, the more He “added to their numbers”. We appreciate your
sacrifice for “The Movement”. Our journey continues with faith, is sustained by hope and is blessed by
God.
