A Season of Thanks

Here we are in November. The year has certainly gone by fast and soon we will be celebrating Christmas. While there is always plenty to do this time of year, we must remember to make time to give thanks for the many blessings we have. I encourage everyone to take a few moments each day to write down at least 3 things you are most thankful for that day. Then reflect on those things at the end of each week. Soon you will see that there is far more to be thankful for and less to groan about.

I wanted to take a few moments to remind you of some things happening in and around our church and community.

The Associational Revival will take place this week at Cornerstone Community Church tonight (Nov. 15th) through Wed., Nov. 18th. Services will begin at 7pm each night. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend.

The annual Community Thanksgiving service will be held at our church this year. The service is scheduled for Wed., Nov. 25th at 7pm. Come out and join your community in giving thanks for our families, neighbors, friends, churches and anything else you are thankful for. Most importantly, let's remember to give thanks for our Lord and Savior who died on the cross to save us from our sins.

The annual Christmas parade will take place on Sunday, Nov. 29th. The parade begins at 4pm and the tree lighting ceremony will take place following the parade. There will be no evening services at North FBC Nov. 29th.

I hope this finds you all doing well. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. I also appreciate the many calls, visits and cards during my mother's recent surgery. She is doing fairly well. As always, I am thankful for my church family. May God continue to bless each of you today and always!!

In Christian Love,

Tina :-)
