“My Hope is Built on Nothing Less” Hymn #522 As Edward Mote was walking to work one day in 1834, the thought came to him to write a hymn on the “Gracious Experience of a Christian.” As he continued to walk, he had the chorus, “On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand.” By the end of the day, he had the first four verses written out and tucked in his pocket.
Later that week, he visited a friend whose wife was very ill, and as they couldn’t find a hymnal to sing from, he pulled out his newly written verses and sang those with the couple. The wife enjoyed it so much she asked for a copy.
Mote went home and completed the last two verses and sent it off to a publisher, saying, “As these verses so met the dying woman’s case, my attention to them was the more arrested, and I had a thousand printed for distribution.”
Almost two centuries later, we continue to sing these words of hope and assurance, our declaration that in the midst of all trials and storms, we will cling to the rock that is our Savior.
Continue to pray for the school.
Bottle Drop Matching Funds Drive will be from Nov. 15 to Dec. 2nd The school will receive 25 cents per container during that time.

Blue bags are in the hall by the children’s classrooms. Thank You!!!
A boy once asked his father, “Dad, how big is God?” The father replied, “it depends, Buddy.” Curious, the son pressed further, “Why?” The father pointed up at the sky and asked, “how big is that airplane?”
The boy looked up and said, “it looks very small. I can hardly even see it.” Then the father took him to the airport. Standing right in front of a massive airplane, he asked, “Now how big is the plane?”
With wide eyes, the boy exclaimed, “Dad, it is huge. This plane is enormous – wow – so so big.” The father smiled and explained, “This is how God is for you. His size depends on the distance you are from Him.” He continued, “the closer you are to God, the bigger He will be in your life. Your view of Him will reflect a great awesome, loving, and powerful God. If you don’t see God that way right now, maybe it’s time to get a closer look. Once you draw nearer to Him everything else in life will seem much smaller by comparison.” The analogy illustrated how our relationship with God shapes our perception of Him. The closer we get, the clearer and more significant He becomes in our lives.
When we open ourselves to the divine, every aspect of life gains deeper meaning and importance.

From This Week’s Lesson:
Monday, November 4th – EGW Notes:
“The plan of redemption is not merely a way of escape from the penalty of transgression, but through it the sinner is forgiven his sins, and will be finally received into heaven, - not as a forgiven culprit pardoned and released from captivity, yet looked upon with suspicion and not admitted to friendship and trust; but welcomed as a child, and taken back into fullest confidence. The sacrifice of our Saviour has made ample provision for every repenting, believing soul.We are saved because God loves the purchase of the blood of Christ; and not only will he pardon the repentant sinner, not only will he permit him to enter heaven, but he, the Father of mercies, will wait at the very gates of heaven to welcome us, to give us an abundant entrance to the mansions of the blest. Oh, what love, what wondrous love the Father has shown in the gift of his beloved Son for this fallen race!
I Won’t Let You Fall:
Beloved one, my firm grip of grace holds you steady. I will never let go. My tender affection is undeterred by the shaking going on around you. Nothing can damage my view of you.
I say it again: nothing can weaken my love. No failure, no desperate attempts at control, no attacks of my own character-nothing can undermine the kindness of my heart toward you.
You cannot talk me out of my affection and neither can anyone else.
Lean back into my arms. When everything around you is unsteady, I hold you firm in my safe embrace. Are you beginning to understand the reach of my love?
You can always trust me, even when your heart struggles to understand. I don’t tire of teaching you my ways.
And even if you choose not to believe me, I still won’t relent in tenderness toward you. I have given you a lifetime of todays, and I am pouring my never-ending steam of mercy over your life.
Don’t fear when testing comes, for I never change.
“Now I live with confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love.” Romans 8:38
Continue to pray for the school. God has a plan and He will lead us to fulfill His purpose if we trust Him.
Sabbath rest is complete today at 4:55 pm
