An old Monday night football saying went like this: Are you ready for some football? We could mimic that by saying: Are you ready for some rain? It looks like we’ll have soaking rains over this Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. We need it!
Well, Christmas continues to march toward us. On Sunday we are beginning the toy collection for the annual Mission Christmas Shoppe. We hope to once again bless some 600 disadvantaged children (and their families). Please drop by the main lobby, or the children’s lobby, and select some gift suggestion cards to purchase a gift or gifts. You can select a Boy or Girl, plus select from different ages. We are also seeking to collect new (or nearly new) coats; along with new socks, underwear and gloves for kids. What a privilege to serve our community in this way!
Please be in prayer for two groups who are “getting away” this weekend. Some 160 men and sons are at the Father-Son campout…pray for refreshed connections. Note: Due to the threat of severe weather on Saturday evening, the campout “officially” will end at 8pm Saturday, although brave dads and sons are free to stay longer.
The other group we’d encourage you to pray for is our college group’s retreat. This also is a time of connection and instruction. We love college students! Pray for a great retreat.
This Sunday we will be concluding the series, The Bible and Your Conscience. In this final message we will be examining How to Cultivate a Clear Conscience, a very worthy goal for all of us (see Acts 24:16 and Hebrews 13:18). I’m excited about exploring this together!
See you Sunday!
