Every Sunday is important for us as God’s people, but the NEXT 3 SUNDAYS have special importance for our congregation at this time in our life together:
† This Sunday, Nov. 15th, we will celebrate our unity with one worship service at 9:30 a.m. Pastor Jana Swenson with Kairos and Associates, our Christian Consulting Resource Partner, will be the guest preacher.
I am praying that as many as possible of you will be present to hear an “Invitation to Respond” that can have a major impact on your spiritual growth in faith and commitment to Christ’s Church!
Following the worship service at 11:15 a.m., a potluck smorgasbord will be served. You are asked to please bring a side dish or dessert with an “international flavor”. Meat will be provided.
(Note: There will be no Sunday School.)
† November 22nd will be “Response Sunday” when you bring your giving plan to place on the altar in support of the 2010 Mission and Ministry of Abiding Love, as well as our 3-year Capital Appeal.
These loving commitments are to be your celebration in praise of Christ the King on this Festival Sunday that concludes the Church Year!
† November 29th will be “Thanksgiving Sunday — the First Sunday in Advent”. This will be a day to give thanks for your generosity in support of our “ministry beyond belief!”
This day will also be an “Invitation to Christmas: Come Celebrate Jesus!”
What do I IMAGINE will happen during these next three Sundays? I imagine that God will bless us so that we might prove to be faithful in our continued vision of a ministry and mission that is growing in God’s abiding love, serving God by sharing God’s love with our community, and celebrating the love Jesus Christ has for all people, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit!
Believing that with God all things are possible,
Pastor David Fetter
