Community Thanksgiving Service – Sunday, Nov. 18 – 6:00 p.m. – Fisherman’s Chapel – Speaker is Pastor Donnie Martin! Bring canned goods and an offering which will go to the POC Benevolence Fund to help us with the community food baskets for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. The service will include great singing as well as a great message from God’s Word. Following the service, the ladies of the Chapel will be providing a great evening of fellowship around the tables. Come and enjoy all the evening’s activities because we need all the help we can get – be present and give!
We will be hosting Friday Night Youth only one evening this month, November 16, and one evening in December – the 14th. We have many other activities in which we trust our youth will participate, like the Community Thanksgiving Service, the Chapel’s Christmas Party on December 16, and Caroling (complete with hay ride) on December 23. Thank you for being a part of our recent Kid’s Night, where every kid present left with a large bag of candy!
Again this year, we have the honor of hosting an evening with Christmas Music by Ric Gordon. Ric has ministered at the Chapel many times, and he is always delightful, fun, and inspirational. He will be with us only one evening, and that will be Sunday evening, 6:00 p.m., December 2. It will truly be one of the highlights of your holiday season, so bring your families, friends and neighbors for this very special evening.
On December 9, in the morning service only, we will be blessed by the ministry of the Reverend Joe Granberry. He has been with us several times before and always blesses and challenges us with the Word of God. Come and enjoy a time of special refreshment – December 9, 11:00 a.m., at the Chapel.
Thanksgiving is always a time for us to prepare for Christmas. When we have thankful hearts, we will be ready to welcome the Christ of Christmas into our world. Let’s not allow this time of the year to be so filled with football, parades, and turkey that we forget to thank our Lord for His numerous blessings He showers upon us daily!
Joane and I already have about a dozen days scheduled for us by the tasks that leadership requires. Pray for us, as we are praying for you, that we have blocks of time that we can simply take time to enjoy the gifts of the Lord! I trust that you will simplify your calendar of events so you also will have time to enjoy the Reason for the Season – Jesus and the family He has provided for you!
