Get Your Thanks On
How cool is it that we have a
national holiday that compels us
to stop and count our blessings?
Every year here at FCC we have
held a candlelight testimony
service on Thanksgiving Eve
(November 23rd 6:30PM). There is
no sermon or music, you all are
the evenings inspiration.
Although there is always
food to be cooked for the
next day, I encourage you to
pause and share your story
of how God has met you
over the past year. At least
come and be encouraged as
you listen to people who
may only grab the mic one
time a year.
Psalm 75:1 We thank You, O God!
We give thanks because You are near.
People everywhere tell of Your
wonderful deeds.
PETE - It will be lonelier for us this year
as he is confined to the nursing facility. But
even there, he is holding to the faith.
ELI & JULIE - James & Julie are
modeling their faith before their son and
that includes giving thanks to God.
SHIRLEY - As one of our older family
members, she brings a lifetime perspective
of walking with the Lord.

God Stuff
It has been an interesting fall for
us here at FCC. We launched into
it with record-setting baptisms
and some people hungering for
God. For others, it seems that the
business of school, work, sports,
hunting, etc. have seduced them
away from fellowship. Yet
through it all, those who want to
press on with God have been
doing so. Let me touch on a couple
points: (1) Pastor Mark and
Jordan are seeing a bunch of
youth come out on Wednesday
nights. You might think this is
just play time, but to the
contrary, months ago we opted to
make Wednesday PMs our Bible
content time, even using Sunday
School resources. The challenge
for us now, is to help transition
these youth into participation in
the larger local church family. See
what you can do to help out,
please. (2) We intentionally
created space by offering two
Sunday services so that there
would be room for new people (we
had gotten overcrowded last
spring). But now we have to deal
with a sort of weird feeling of not
having a full auditorium. Would
you help us by inviting your
unbelieving family and friends?
And by sitting up forward and
with other people? We are family,
after all, not strangers. Most
wont bite :-)
