UPCOMING EVENTS

Secret Sister forms are on the back table for anyone who would like to join the next round.  This will run from January through June.  Give completed sheets to Bonnie Shovestull.

Sign up sheets are up for 2026 communion prep, building cleaning, worship training center, live stream, teaching kids and teens.  We are in great need of more teachers.  Please consider helping out.

Wednesday, December 24 we will have 1:30 class, but no evening service.

Our next potluck is today after morning services.

We are taking December off for special collections, but as always, clothing for 5 – 7 year old boys and girls (t-shirt and shorts or dress) are needed.  If you want to contribute, but you don’t want to shop, see Amy or Diane.




Remember Hailey Stockdill (Shovestull) is still collecting money for her mission trip.  See Bonnie or Chris for details and how to donate.

YES, YOU ARE!
By John Kerr

            I am sitting in the nursing home room beside my mother-in-law’s bed.  She is unable to respond.  There is a bag of goodies that was left on her table early this morning.  I don’t know who it is from, but the writing on it says, “YOU ARE LOVED”.  Indeed she is loved.  Very much loved.  I realized that whoever left the bag of goodies didn’t really love her.  They didn’t know her.  Below the “YOU ARE LOVED” it reads, “JESUS LOVES YOU”.  On the other side of the bag is the quote from I John 4:19:  “WE LOVE BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US”.

            I made a judgment before I thought things thoroughly through.  I knew the person who delivered the goodies didn’t love her because they didn’t know her.  God knows her and loves her.  The delivery person loves God and serves God.  I love my mother-in-law because God first loved me.

            You are loved.  Yes, you are!  John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

            Romans 8:38-39 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

            Romans 5:8 God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

            Each of the 26 verses of Psalm 136 ends with the phrase “for his steadfast love endures forever”.

            You are loved.  Yes, you are!
