The month of November tends to kick off the holiday season… a fun and festive time of the year with Thanksgiving, Advent, Christmas, and New Year’s all approaching consecutively. It’s also a great time of the year to fully invest yourself in opportunities for worship and ministry.
Worship and Bible study on Sunday are our primary opportunities for equipping and encouragement for Christian living. Sunday evening discipleship options, weekday Bible studies, a variety of small groups also provide additional opportunities for spiritual formation.
Wednesday night is probably my favorite time of the week. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is casual, the folks are welcoming, the music is outstanding, and the topics are either fun, challenging, or relevant…and sometimes all three. J Children’s choirs, AWANA, Flood, Overflow, Boy Scouts, Orchestra rehearsal, and Sanctuary Choir rehearsal also occur on Wednesday evenings.
November 4 is our quarterly Congregational Meeting. November 18 is the Blessing of the Shoeboxes. And November 24 is our Wednesday on Tuesday gathering. Our Community Thanksgiving Service this year is planned for November 25 at seven o’clock and will be hosted by First United Methodist Church.
Our sermon series in November is built around The Alpha-Omega Factor. Revelation 21:6 conveys God’s ultimate declaration: I'm A to Z. I'm the Beginning, I'm the Conclusion. From Water-of-Life Well I give freely to the thirsty (MSG). This series will focus our attention on God’s ultimate plan and our ultimate destination.
I hope you will make it a priority for you and your family to be faithful participants in worship, Bible study, and ministry action during November.
