Church Fellowship Potluck: The Church Board has voted to have Church Potlucks on the second, fourth, and fifth Sabbaths. The next potluck will be on January 10.
Pray for our Church:
A clip board will be passed around today for you to read about praying for our church. What commitment are you willing or able to do?
…Pray daily on your own?
….Pray with a prayer partner each day?
….Pray with the small group after church?
….Pray with another small group during the week?
“Prayer connects us to God. What a privilege it is to come into His presence and talk with Him openly. The key to powerful prayer is seeking Him first – above all else.
Our greatest need is not miracles, help, nor deliverance.
Our greatest need is be filled with His Spirit.
To be in Him, and He in us.
To know God is to have an intimate personal relationship by spending time in prayer seeking Him.
The function of prayer is not to get answers but to have a relationship. To be connected.
To experience His presence continually.
Every revival in history has started with one or two people praying.”
Pastor Pavel Goia and Kelly Mowrer
Beautiful Christmas Story part 4
“Okay, Okay,” said father. “You’ve come to the right place. Now let’s see. You’ve got a little oil burner over there in he dining room. Shouldn’t be too hard to fix. Probably just a clogged flue. I’ll look it over, see what it needs.”
Mother came into the living room carrying a plate of cookies and warm milk. As she set the cups down on the coffee table, I noticed the figure of Baby Jesus lying in the center of the table.
It was the only sign of Christmas in the house. The children stared wide-eyed with wonder at the plate of cookies my mother set before them. Father finally got the oil burner working but said, “You need more oil. I’ll make a few phone calls tonight and get some oil. Yes sir, you came to the right place,” father grinned. On the way home father did not complain about the cold weather and had barely set foot inside he door when he was on the phone. “Ed, hey, how are you, Ed?” “Yes, Merry Christmas to you, too. Say Ed, we have kind of an unusual situation here. I know you’ve got that pick-up truck. Do you still have some oil in that barrel on your truck? You do?” By this time the rest of the family were pulling together clothes out of their closets and toys off of their shelves. It was long after their bedtime when they were wrapping gifts. The pick-up came. On it were chairs, three lamps, blankets and gifts. Even though it was 30 below, father let them ride along in the back of the truck. No one ever did call about the missing figure in the nativity set, but as I grow older I realize that it wasn’t a packing mistake at all.
Jesus saves, that’s what He does.
