Hey Wildwood Family!
Finally…we’ve been blessed with some wonderful moisture! I’ve just done some overseeding on my fescue lawn and the water is welcome.
We do want you to be in prayer for the Father-Daughter campout this weekend in the Wichita mountains. Pray for no severe storms that could disrupt a great getaway and minimize the ability to hike around.
Also, the Father-Son campout is scheduled for November 7-9. It’s not too late to learn more and register. Info is found at wildwoodchurch.org/adult
This Sunday is the deadline for returning any Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes so bring those boxes of blessings with you!
Just a heads up…the gift collection for The Mission Christmas Shoppe will launch the first Sunday of November. Look for the gift trees in the Gathering Hall. Our desire is to again bless 600+ underprivileged kids and their families this year. We’d love for you and your family to have a part in it!
God has recently been leading me to speak on the issue of trials and life difficulties, something we all deal with from time to time. The title I’ve given to the message is, Navigating the Valley of the Shadow. The title is drawn from Psalm 23:4 where it talks about walking through “the valley of the shadow of death” (ESV). Many translations render the phrase, “the valley of deep darkness” (NASB margin, NET, NIV, CSB).
All of us experience times when we are in “the valley of deep darkness.” At any given time, we are either in that valley now, just came out of the valley, or about to enter the valley. When we find ourselves in the dark valley, how should we navigate that walk? What do we need to remember? How should we respond? We plan to address those questions in a frank manner with the message, Navigating the Valley of the Shadow on Sunday.
See you on Sunday!
Bruce
