November Highlights
All Saints Day - November 6th
When we were baptized we were embraced by God through Jesus Christ with the Holy Spirit making that work ours. The cross provides the reminder that as we suffer for many different reasons this side of heaven we are joined by Christ. Proof? His suffering on the cross. As the Father embraced the Son on Easter morning, that becomes love to that ultimate embrace the moment we breathe our last. Therefore, we can commend those we love to that ultimate embrace. Once a year on the Festival of All Saints Day, the church pauses and recognizes those whom they have lost in this earthly vale. Rest eternal grant them O Lord and let light perpetual shine upon them.

Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Collection

The blessing of the shoeboxes occurred during our Sunday, Worship Service and 39 shoeboxes were taken to the distribution in Millersburg. Thank you to everyone for your generosity by participating in the 2022 Operation Christmas Child shoebox collection. The Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Outreach Ministry is operated by Samaritan’s Purse. This program uses shoeboxes filled with toys, school supplies and hygiene items to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Together we pray for these places and for God’s love to shine on the children who receive them.
