Soaring!

We are off and soaring in our stewardship campaign!  What a great Gratitude Weekend we had!  So many of you completed your Offering Cards and turned them in.  Thanks so much!  But we still have much to do.  If you haven't completed your Offering Card, please keep praying and bring it to worship or send it to church.

If you have sent in your Offering Card, please pick up the gift from the church.  We have a token of appreciation for all of you and if you sent in your card, you wouldn't have had a chance to get it.  The gift is a pewter angel.  And while it is designed as a Christmas ornament, it is a great reminder of our call to soar.

In Isaiah 40: 31, the prophet says, "...those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles."  With all of the economic difficulties swirling around us, his words are a great reminder.  We "hope" in the Lord!

You may want to place your angel in a place where you can see it often and be reminded of our call to soar.  What a great time to keep our "hope" in the right place.

Blessings,
Marv Vose

Please look in the bulletin for information about the Olan Mills photography sessions.  It's a great deal!

Don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour before you go to bed Saturday evening.  All of your Sunday worshipers should look refreshed and wide awake this Sunday!
