THE PREACHING TODAY brings us to the last of six sermons about the Cross of Christ. Today we look at the cross in Colossians, where we read that Jesus reconciled creation to God by "making peace by the blood of His cross." (Colossians 1:20)

THE PREACHING NEXT SUNDAY, October 19, will be about worship. We are called to give God the all the praise and honor that He is worth.  

ALSO NEXT SUNDAY, we will distribute coin cans for the Thanksgiving missions offering. Here's the plan:

   * Families will take the coin cans home put them on the dining room table.  

   * Each day, as they thank the Lord for his mercies, they will add coins to the can as thanks to the Lord.

   * The containers will be returned to church on November 23, the Sunday before Thanksgiving.

   * The offering will be sent (as our church's gift to God) to World Missionary Press.

   * World Missionary Press prints and distributes Bibles and gospel literature in hundreds of languages.

THIS FRIDAY, October 24, is the first day of class for an Anchor Bible College course called "Women in the Bible." Class time is 7:00 - 9:00 pm. In this class you will meet a host of women in the pages of the Old and New Testaments. Sign up at anchorbiblecollege.org.

IN TWO WEEKS, on Sunday, November 2, clocks will "fall back" one hour. It's the end of Daylight Saving Time.  

THANKSGIVING SERVICES: Next month our church will have two Sunday worship services that are dedicated to Thanksgiving testimonies shared by the people of the church. November 16 and November 23. This is a wonderful opportunity for each of us to publically give thanks to God.  

EVERY FRIDAY EVENING, our church youth gather for prayer and mentoring. We are thankful for the mature older students who serve as examples for the younger students. We are thankful for the fathers and mothers who come to support their families and pray for one another. We are thankful for the willing spirit of the students as they help with cleaning and projects around the building. The doors open at 6:30 and the program begins at 7:15.
