Sunday November 20     New Sermon Series by Billy and Chris  (This series will continue through Sunday December 11)   How can we flesh out our motto which is "Connecting People with God, Others and Service?  The series continues this Sunday, November 20.   I will be looking at one of our core values, "Connecting People to God".  There is a famous character in the Bible and even had a song written about his encounter with Christ.  He is famous for being short and climbing trees.  Have you guessed?  Zacheus is his name and we will be using him as a model of someone who connected with God through Christ.  This week's message will contain a clear presentation of the gospel message.  If you have a lost friend, co-worker or neighbor this would be a good time to bring him. This Sunday night Chris will be bringing a message entitled "Salvation 101".  He will be looking at the relationship between faith and works in the book of James and Romans. Hope you can join us this Sunday night @ 6 PM This Week Around Faith     Jane and John Burnham and Frank Sizemore headed the 50+ trip to Tenn.     Here is the eager crew ready to head out   Our missionary John Kreynus picked up the "Grey Ghost" last Saturday to use in his ministry to the military at Fort Lee The Thanksgiving service is at our church this year, it should be a really special service, Karen Knight will be presenting a drama and music program, she was formerly with Sight & Sound.  The service will be this Tuesday, November 22 at 7 PM.  The presentation is being sponsored by New Hope Baptist Church.
