Haiti Missons Support (“More Than Bread”)
Dear MTB Supporters,
Because of your faithful heart and generous spirit, we have exceeded
our goal of purchasing over 300 backpacks for this year’s Christmas Giveaway! Your willing hearts are bringing tangible hope and showing God's love in action to so many children and families in need. While the backpacks have been secured, we still need your help to fill them with joy, warmth, and essential supplies before Christmas Day.
Would you pray about partnering with us once more to help purchase the remaining items by NOVEMBER 1st for these children? Please give your donations to S9s. Kristen Gordon or in the church office.
Please pray and lift up the children and families who will receive these gifts, that they would know the love and peace of our Savior and King, Jesus Christ.
Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus to our community. Every ball, flashlight, and pouch packed is a simple, powerful message to a child that they are seen, valued, and loved by God.
In Christ,
Sis. Neecole Destin—“More Than Bread’ Ministries

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the
Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that
God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9
“Let All the People Praise Thee”
O magnify the Lord with me,
Ye people of His choice,
Let all to whom He lendeth breath
Now in His name rejoice;
For love’s blest revelation,
For rest from condemnation,
For uttermost salvation, To Him give thanks.
O praise Him for His holiness,
His wisdom and His grace;
Sing praises for the precious blood
Which ransomed all our race;
In tenderness He sought us,
From depths of sin He brought us,
The way of life then taught us, To Him give thanks.
Had I a thousand tongues to sing,
The half could ne’er be told
Of love so rich, so full and free,
Of blessings manifold;
Of grace that faileth never,
Peace flowing like a river,
From God the glorious Giver, To Him give thanks.
Chorus:
Let all (let all) the people praise Thee,
Let all (let all) the people praise Thee,
Let all (let all) the people praise Thy Name
Forever and forever more, forevermore, O Lord!
Let all (let all) the people praise Thee,
Let all (let all) the people praise Thee,
Let all (let all) the people praise Thy Name
Forever and forever more.

I Cor. 11:18-34 (Scripture Reading)
For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
20 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
Pastor Victor G. Sholar
Sunday Morning Worship 11/1/26
Text: Exodus 36
Title: How Should We Respond to God’s Grace & Mercy?
Two responses to God’s grace and mercy in our lives:
- I. We should give sacrificially because God made a sacrifice to save us [vv. 1-7]
- II. We should serve HIM humbly because God humbled Himself to serve us [vv. 8-38]
2026 Church Theme:
“Lord, show us Your glory” Ex. 33:18
