Thanks!
At the peak of his career, Mark Twain earned five dollars a word ($5.00) for magazine articles he wrote. Some hotshot sent Mr. Twain a $5.00 bill with this note:
Dear Mr. Twain, Please send me your best word.
On a sheet of paper, Mr. Twain responded with this good word: THANKS!
I want to take this opportunity this week to invite each and every one of you to our Thanks for Giving Revival Sunday, November 23 – 25th.
This is always a very special time in the life of our church as we take some time to not only honor and thank God for His faithfulness, but we also honor those in our church family who serve the house of the Lord so faithfully. Each service, as the Lord leads, we bless a couple, single, or family with a gift, offering, or even a dinner out! We have an incredible group of “servant leaders” and we like to give honor where honor is due.
Galatians 6:10 tells us “So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith”.
Why would you have a revival right smack dab during the holidays? We spend a lot of time in worship and thanksgiving, thus the title, “Thanks for Giving”!
As a little girl, I loved Thanksgiving and felt it always got a raw deal because it seemed everyone would rush through the day, eagerly awaiting the more popular holiday—Christmas.
Now don’t get me wrong—I love celebrating our Lord’s birth, but between you and me, He’s not a little baby anymore and I can’t think of anything I’d rather do than worship our living Lord in spirit and truth without time restraints.
Set aside 2 nights and join us for a time of celebration like no other! We cap off the week with our church wide Thanksgiving Dinner Tuesday night (25th) with sharing communion together! You don’t want to miss it!
Call the office for more details or pick up one of the invitations in the foyer and let us know you are coming and what foods you’ll be bringing.
With all that has happened this year—we have lots to be thankful for! Hope you can join us for this very special time! Pastor Joe and Becky
