Call to Worship
We have come as the body of Christ to do Holy business for our King. We have come in troubled times, but we have high spirits. We know the Eternal One is still on the throne. Saints, lift up holy hands, lift high your voices and praise the Sovereign One. Mighty is our God, holy are His judgments, and He is altogether lovely. Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him!

HOLIDAY OFFERINGS
As we have done in the past, members are asked to please give a holiday love offering of $100 for Thanksgiving and again for Christmas. As God so blesses and provides, please give willingly (whether more or less) as we continue to support the ministries & labor here in the Lord’s House. May the Lord bless each gift given to His glory.
CHRISTMAS CARDS DELIVERIES
It is time again to think about in-house Christmas cards exchange for our in-house members. Our Youth and Christmas cards committee will again collect, assemble and distribute Christmas cards from and to members of our regular attending congregation only. You are welcome to bypass the cost of postage stamps by bringing your cards to the church and disburse your Christmas cards free.
You may bring your cards from now until Sunday, Dec. 14, as the last Sunday for drop-off. Collection boxes will be placed in the Church vestibule. You may also drop them off at the church office.
Please get your cards to us early so that all can have their cards before Christmas! Safety procedures will be taken in the handling of received cards as well as the distributions.
Further info will be given regarding dates persons may drive-by to pick up cards—if needed.
Message received by Sis. Kristen Gordon from Voice of Children board member (Haiti):
“Wanted to let you know that gangs are killing people in our old area of Gressier where Pastor Volner lives with his wife and 4 children. He said "little men with guns are telling them that everything will be blocked". He wants the school support sent as soon as possible so he can get supplies.
Please have your church to be in prayer. Thanks.”
CHANGES IN NAME/ADDRESS
All persons who have had changes in your name and or mailing address are asked to please forward this information to the church office. This will aid in our end-of-year mailings. Thank you for your prompt response.

Responsive Reading for the Month of November 2025:
Catechism – a set form of questions and answers to teach the tenets of the Christian Faith:
Question: What is faith in Jesus Christ?
Answer: Receiving and resting on Him alone for salvation as He is offered to us in the gospel.
Question: What do we believe by true faith?
Answer: We believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
