WE ARE THANKFUL to gather together for worship at Hope Church today. The preaching this morning is the final messsage in a three-part series about "Worship and Thanksgiving." Today we hear about giving thanks to God in all circumstances, in times of blessing and in times of trial. The Bible says, "Be thankful always. Pray continually. Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." (I Thessalonians 5:16-18)
NEXT SUNDAY (and the Sunday after next) will be a Thanksgiving Sunday. The congregation will share many testimonies of thanksgiving, sharing from our hearts about what the Lord has done for us. Please prepare ahead so you will have something valuable to share. We reccommend that you share clearly and succintly about one of the subjects listed here:
1. I am thankful for something I learned from God's Word.
2. I am thankful for God's guidence this year.
3. I am thankful for a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
4. I am thankful for God's provision for all that I need.
5. I am thankful for a ministry experience where I was able to serve God.
6. I am thankful for an evangelistic opportunity where I shared the Gospel.
7. I am thankful for the work God is doing in my family.
8. I am thankful for a specific answer to prayer
9. I am thankful for the body of Christ, as seen in the people of our church.
10. I am thankful for somethong for which I worship God and give Him glory.
WE RECENTLY DISTRIBUTED COIN CONTAINERS for our annual Thanksgiving offering. The containers will be returned to church two weeks from now on November 23, the Sunday before Thanksgiving. The funds will be sent, as our church's Thanksgiving offering to God, to World Missionary Press to support the publication of Bibles and evangelistic Scripture booklets in more than 350 languages.
