HAPPY THANKSGIVING

PRAYER & PRAISE:

  1. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow! As we celebrate Thanksgiving this week, let us remember to thank our heavenly Father for the many blessings that are ours in spite of the fact that this year is different from what we are used to.  He is still good, and He is still God and He still loves us! Jesus still redeems and the Spirit still leads men to repentance!  Praise God’s Holy Name!  Psalm 95:1-7a
  2. Regional Director REV. JIM JORDAN’S next heart cath procedure is scheduled for December 15. Please continue to pray for Jim as he awaits the procedure. 
  3. Several of our churches, their pastors, and staff have been wrestling with the COVID-19 virus in their congregations. Pray for our state and our country as decisions are made and various opinions are shared. Lives and livelihoods are on the line and emotions are on edge.  May the church be the church and show the love of Christ especially in times such as these.
