Preparing for Sunday, November 20

Pray for our Louisiana Mission Team.  The first "wave" left this morning and the second "wave" is leaving this afternoon.  It looks like 16 will be making the trip.

As we approach Thanksgiving, it is a time of giving thanks for the harvest season God has provided.  Now not too many of us will actually be eating food we have harvested from our fields, but the concept is still the same.  We give thanks for what God has provided.

The harvest season was very special to the Jews to the degree they had something called "first-fruits."  God demanded the "first-fruits" of the harvest be brought to Him.  There is an interesting principle that develops in Scripture over this concept that I want to look at this Sunday as we gather for worship.  I've entitled the message "The Principle of the First."  I look forward to sharing it with you Sunday at 10:15.

Reminder:  no Sunday night services here as we are moving them to celebrate with our Rainsville Community of Faith at the annual Community Thanksgiving Service hosted by the Rainsville Community Church at 6:00.  Jason Bell, Pastor, Nazareth Baptist Church, will be preaching.  I look forward to seeing you there!!

Also, this Sunday at 3:00 is decorating the church for Christmas.  Just show up at 3 and those in charge will lead you to what to do.
