Busy Time of the Year
We’re entering that season when it always seems to get busier and busier. Thanksgiving will be here before we know it, and the beginning of Advent. As always, during this time of year, while it’s fun to celebrate with friends and family, I want to also encourage you to make sure we are spending time with God as well. Let’s remember how much we have to be thankful for because of what God has done for us.
We do have some up-coming events that I want to draw your attention to. On Sunday, November 22nd we’ll be having a soup supper in the Fellowship Hall. I encourage you to invite friends and neighbors to come take part. Another enjoyable event is the Make and Take It ornament event on December 6th. This is another good event to invite people to come and take part in.
Josanne and I will be attending the International Conference on Missions in St. Louis at the end of this week. We attend almost every year and it’s always an encouraging time for us. We connect with friends and former co-workers and participate in worship services with people from around the world.
Just two more weeks in our series in Zechariah and then it will be time to begin our Advent series. The series title this year is “Eager Expectation.” This comes from Romans 8:19, “For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed,” (NIV). We’ll be focused on what a difference Jesus coming in the flesh made in creation.
Let’s continue to lift one another up in prayer and to encourage one another. I hope to see you Sunday and bring along a friend.
God bless, Brian
