OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
Donations are in! We have been able to purchase many items that were needed to contribute to this weekend’s Packing Party. We look forward to seeing everyone this Saturday, November 13, (11 a.m. to 5 p.m.) to pack boxes, share some food and have fun!
This year’s gathering will be open-house style, so stop on by (or stay all day!). We will meet in the Commons/Basement area. Volunteers are needed both to help set up the day before (November 12) and a few to arrive later during the Packing Party to assist with clean-up. Please reach out to Brenda Weiss if you have questions or are able to volunteer.
SUNDAY WORSHIP 9 AM | NOVEMBER 14. Jesus is working to see the whole church share the whole gospel with the whole world. Satan is working against this plan by trying to turn everyone in Christ’s church into spiritual weaklings. To see Christ’s plan prevail, Jesus is training us to receive His divine gifts, including the sword of the Spirit and prayer in the Spirit, so the world gets the Good News, God gets the glory, and we all, except Satan, get to be a part of it. Join us Sunday in person or online/live and recorded service) as Pastor Dean brings us a message entitled Take the Sword of the Spirit and Pray in the Spirit from Ephesians 6:17b-20.
HOSTING. This week’s Sunday Gathering will be hosted by Hope’s Staff and Elders!
