The Faith Formation that takes place Sunday evenings (7 p.m. on Zoom) is the highlight of my weekend! I so enjoy this diverse group of people, from both congregations, discussing and debating over God's Word. We go down "rabbit holes" all the time, we share, we pray, we discuss, and we love one another. I really urge more of you to join in. You do not have to be a Bible scholar, and you will never be called out or put on the spot. I/we love and welcome you.

This past Sunday night we discussed studying Philippians the next two Sundays (Nov. 14th & 21st) and then have an "Open Forum" discussion on November 28th. We will at that gathering discuss thanksgiving as a daily way of living; we will do an open discussion of those who can attend on that Thanksgiving weekend. Again, please join us.

Last night we ended the study of Ephesians, and I offer these two verses for your reflections:

Ephesians 6:7: "Render service with enthusiasm!"
Ephesians 6:23: "Peace be to the whole community with love and faith from God."

Quick reminders:

  • Happy Veterans Day on Thursday, November 11th! Thank you to all who have served!
  • Thanksgiving Service is Sunday, November 21 at 7 p.m. at Speedway Baptist church. Come and join us as a free will offering will be taken to benefit the Storehouse Food Pantry. Invite a friend. All are welcomed to this ecumenical service led by several ministers of local churches. 
  • Storehouse Food Pantry Thanksgiving distribution is Saturday, November 13th. 

Grace and much peace, 
Pastor Doug
