November 22, 2010... Training Materials

Greetings to all of you on a very mild November day.

PERSONAL NOTE: Yesterday was a tremendous day as we dedicated the Operation Christmas Child boxes and had a Church-wide Thanksgiving celebration together. It was great!

I want to thank everyone who was involved in the Operation Christmas Child venture. We had a great dedication and tremendous cooperation by the congregation! We had about 142 boxes that were turned in so far (11-22-10). WOW!!!

A special thanks goes out to everyone who made the Church-wide Thanksgiving dinner such a great success. A mighty big THANKS goes to all who helped set up and to those who actually prepared food items. A job well done!!!

Good job choir on the special music you provided in the worship service.

Just as a side note, our sympathy goes out to the families of Kenny Brown and Charles Watson. Both individuals passed away a few days back and our prayers are with the families.

I will be on Ask the Pastor today at 2 pm., so please remember me and the panel in your prayers. It is my desire that all of the members of the panel give good biblical answers to the questions that are asked.

Please remember to check your church bulletins with care in the coming weeks as we move towards Christmas. There will be a lot of events coming up and you won't want to miss them!

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In Matthew 7: 15 and Phil. 3 and verse 2 we as Christians are warned to beware of false prophets. This is God's will for us. The point here is obvious: false prophets teach false doctrines under the guise of biblical truth. Each one of us needs to be careful of who's teaching we are listening to. Just because someone claims the title of "prophet", does not make him one. We have a sure word from God in the scriptures... therefore do not chase after "prophets".
