Blessings in Christ,
My prayers are and will continue to be that as we go through the Advent Season that each of us are highlighting our possession and intentionally increasing in hope, peace, joy, and love. May this be a season of self-examination, prayer, and action.
A few announcements;

A few resources that were produced this week for your edification;
Pastor Mike had an interview with Ward Fenley on NCMI Live to talk about peacemaking in the Middle East. You can review that session on YouTube at the following link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfJRqgWKxhY&t=13s
With the same focus, Pastor Mike also interviewed with Jonathan Buttry. You can review that session at the following link, https://www.facebook.com/jonathan.buttry/videos/371061048781404
Also, Pastor Mike and a few others were on Dallas Koblyka’s podcast – Challenging The Traditions of Men – this week. The discussion was about the first three words of the Bible – “In the beginning”.

We had a variety of praises and prayers shared this past Sunday. We lit the Advent Candle of “hope”. We hope for healings in our congregation, a blessed and beautiful pregnancy and delivery for Andrea (Elder Steve’s daughter), and for peace of mind for each of us. We hope to continue to bless others with our faith. We trust the Lord for answered prayer. In Jesus’ mighty name.
I look forward to all fellowshipping and feasting that will be amply supplied this season and more specifically this weekend.
On Sunday, we will have our Adult Sunday School at 9am and Worship Service at 10:30am. Our evening session will be our Harvest Dinner instead of the usual Breaking Bread & Gathering.
With a steadfast hope for peace, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ,
Pastor Michael Miano
