Hello bros and sisters!

Wasn't the SNOW thing fun?  I love it when the know-it-all weather folks are
caught completely off guard.

Sunday's the last day to bring in OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD boxes.  How neat
it's been to see them stacked up.  And starting this Sunday you can pick up
a PROJECT ANGEL TREE  gift ornament to fill.  Both of these are great ways
to show the LOVE OF JESUS in tangible ways.

A checker at my Albertson's said, "I'm bringing my kids and myself to your
CREATE-A-GIFT thing!"  Do you know what thought went through my mind?  "I
hope there's people there to welcome you and make it happen."  I understand
the need for helpers is quite critical.  Can you serve a few hours...or half
a day??  If so, PLEASE get in touch with Kim Shervey at 1.360.882.0845 or
kem.shervey at att.net .

SUNDAY's a comin'.........  We again dig deeper into honest prayer. Take a
moment to look at:
	+Jeremiah 27.4-7
	+James 4.3
	+Matthew 6.9-13

Don't forget the PRAYER VIGIL this coming Saturday, 9 to 9.

Any TYMPANI players out there?  If so, please let me know.  Or, if you'd
like to learn, I have someone who'd be happy to teach you the basics.

Coming:  A worship service of THANKSGIVING one week from today at 10
am...Men's Breakfast at 7 am (sign up Sunday).

Something to think about....
"The practice of our faith involves the exact opposite of wielding
authority, namely, the exercise of obedience.  Faith is an act of submission
to the Lordship of Christ, a willing response to His commands....Our
Christian identity consists in being a servant."  -- EH Peterson in Working
the Angles

Your servant in Christ,
Pastor Mark
