Trick or Treat! God has done a lot of treating while the devil is still up to his tricks. Keep our eyes on God and doing his work until He returns. I hope the children understand the difference is only a prayer away.
The calendar seems to turn much faster than it used to. Perhaps it is because I am ready to hibernate and reflect on where God carried me last month. I have so much to thank God for! Time to give back to our neighbors!
Wednesday, we congregated, sang songs of praise for blessings of God's work from answered prayers. We also discussed ways to spread the gospel cheer.
Samaritans Purse Shoe Box Christmas is being collected. November 12-19 dropoff is at the 24770 Interlude Road, Calvary Church in Maryville. Go east on 16th street, turn left on Dewey, go 1 block, turn into the drive on your right. Collection times are -- November 12th, 3-7 p.m.; Saturday (17th) and Sunday (18th), 1-4 p.m.; Monday (19th) 8-9:30 a.m. Praise God for the opportunity to give to others during the special season of His birth! Franklin Graham had a vision in 1993. Last year, they delivered over 8.6 million gift-filled shoeboxes to over 100 countries that spread the Gospel and God's love.
There will be many opportunities to enjoy a meal with UMC folks. November 2nd fall dinner at Ravenwood; Lord's Acre Sale November 3rd at Grant City; and don't forget the annual Election Dinner at Sheridan City Hall November 6th. Also, Sheridan will have a bazaar to purchase some baked goodies and a little bit of everything. Make plans to join us while you are in town voting.
I guarantee doing God's work will open more doors as we approach Thanksgiving and Advent. Let's put His word into action for others to desire following God. Pastor Janis plans to take a vacation November 19th to 26th. What a blessing the TRIO have been to our communities. May we continue to pray for them, God's vision for us, and the world around us in these political times. See you in the neighborhood and church!
