This newsletter is going to be Fall FUN Fest intensive and for good reason!! Next Monday we will have literally hundreds of children and families come to visit our church and perhaps in some cases get their first impression of First Baptist Church of Grandview. I wonder what they will think? I wonder how welcomed they will feel? I wonder what part you will play in making it an incredible evening of fun for those who attend?
Dorothy and her merry band of workers have been diligently working for a couple of months now to make sure the event on Halloween goes off without a hitch, and for that I am extremely grateful. Each year it seems the event gets bigger and better, and I know this year will not disappoint. The only thing that will make it better is your attendance and your help!! If you cannot come, then I assure you that you will miss out on a great evening of fun! Last year I told you to come and check it out, and a couple actually took me up on it and they said, “We had no idea what all was going on!!!” Come see for yourself! If you would like to help, please sign up on the Nursery Hallway bulletin board and be here at 5:00 that evening or as soon after as possible. I know Dorothy will appreciate your help!
November is upon us. Can you believe it? This month we will be hosting the Annual Community Thanksgiving Service. I always look forward to this service and the opportunity for our community to come together and worship together. This year Mike Lehnhardt from Chamber’s Creek Baptist Church will be preaching the Thanksgiving message. A tradition I believe we have all grown to love is the dinner following the service served by R and K Café II. The date of the service will be November 20th at 6:00pm. We will be taking an offering to help meet the needs of the community benevolence fund. It will be a great night as we welcome our community to our facility.
With November comes the Thanksgiving holiday. I love Thanksgiving because it is a time for family to gather together and enjoy a time of genuine thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for it is unbelievable. I challenge you to take the time to list the things you are thankful for and give praise to our Father for all He has done! God is so good!
As we begin heading toward the Thanksgiving holiday, I want to challenge you to do something perhaps you have thought about but never have done. I would like to invite you to come with us on November 19th at 9:45 to feed the homeless in Fort Worth. If you are having a difficult time realizing how blessed you are, then come feed with us and experience just how blessed you really are. It will bless you and the people we feed. So come on out and share Thanksgiving with a person less fortunate than you.
Happy Thanksgiving!
