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!

THANK YOU
I thank my God for keeping me and not letting go these past months. There were some hard and low days, but He held me even tighter and wouldn’t let go. I thank you my church family and you are just that “family”, for your calls, cards, texts and meals. Just when I would have a low moment, I would get a call or card to lift me up. Know that I love you all and truly missed seeing and being there. Thank you again for always loving on me.
Because of Christ,
Love Sis Janet Burley

“Thanksgiving Observance”
Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself.

Responsive Reading for the Month of November, 2026
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.
