We search for many things. We look for food. Wego shopping for clothes. We hunt & fish for wildgame. We seek friends. Singles date. Some lookfor rest. There are adventure seekers. Vast energyis spent seeking healing. We are searchers. Thereis one thing for which we are all seeking: peace inour heart. A knowledge of God. A knowledge that

goesbeyondourunderstanding toknow the loveofChrist. Ephesians3:18-19 promises: “the love of Christ...to know this love thatsurpasses knowledge”. Friends, Jesuswants us to knowhimandHisamazing love, but to know Him will take searching. That’s why wemeet together in prayer andworship - to search forChrist and to knowHim. He will be found by those who search. He will be found.

November worship theme is “Desperate for His Presence”.Activities like small group discipleship and ministry abound and arelife changing, don’t miss them. We will give our Thanksgiving inofferings and worship and begin the Advent season towards theChristmas celebration. As you enjoy November please rememberthat: “the main is to keep the main thing the main thing”. This is themain thing: Seeking the very presence of Jesus. Are you seekingHim most? Don’t miss Him.

See you Sunday?Pastor Wayne

I love this time of year for many reasons. Growing up inIdaho this time of the year we would start to build fires andprepare for the snow that would fallin a few weeks. That is my prayer for Guymon soon! Let itsnow this year!It has been another great month with the teenagers. In

September I was asked to be in charge of and plan See YouAt The Pole and Saw You At The Pole Rally that our church

hosted. We had 75 people including adults at SYATP and 170 people atthe SYATP Rally! It was a great day! Next year we hope to have thestudents be in charge of leading and planning it.I am so proud of these teens as they have been serving once a month

at theOaks ofMamre. The director of theOaks ofMamre has toldme thatboth times we have volunteered there that we have done a years worthof work for them. The students understand what it means to serve othersand to be a missional community. It encourages me to see how thesestudents are growing.I have been on staff here since June 1st and the youth group has almostdoubled insize.Weareaveraging50studentsonWednesdaynights.Ournumbers in Sunday School have increased as well as our numbers inSunday morning worship and small groups on Sunday nights. The youthgroup is continuing to grow. Shift 6->7 is continuing to grow as well.

Grace and Peace,Pastor Matt
