Our church now has a youth group. There are between ten and twelve
boys and girls in the group. They plan to have a project each month.
They have a meeting once a month. We are so proud of the boys and
girls who attend church and all the things that they do. Our prayers are
with them.
October 16th was our Pastor Appreciation day. After Sunday School we
had singing by Satisfied. The youth group made a poster board for
Pastor Myers telling all the things he does for our church. There were
candy bars with their names relating to the statements. Pastor Myers
was very surprised and grateful. The congregation then went to Frisch's
for lunch. We thank Pastor Myers for everything he does for us.
After church on October 23rd the youth group took a sunshine basket to
Sue Stanfield. Sue is our third Elder and was in a car accident a few
months ago and still has a while to go before she is able to attend church
again. I am sure she was surprised and happy to see them. Our prayers
are with Sue.
October 31st we will have Trunk or Treat in Manchester. There will be
treats and refreshments will be served.
We want to wish everyone a Blessed Thanksgiving on November 24th.
We have so many things to be thankful for. We plan to have our turkey

past few years. It is a blessing to help others.
Voice of Praise will be singing on November 13th. Everyone welcome.
Please pray for Sue Stanfield, Pat McFarland, Ty McClanahan, Ron
Palmer, Justin Palmer, Ron McDaniel, Raymond Dryden, Mary Mason
and Martha Bennett. Please pray for all the nursing home residents and
the ones who are unable to get to church.

Deposit God’s word in your memory bank, and it will draw interest for life
As we reported last month the outside of the church has been completely repaired, with new roofs and the heating and air conditioning upgraded. Now more good news, King James bibles were donated for the pews by an anonymous donor to replace the old ones which were well used with several loose pages.

GOD IS GOOD!
Everything that, Everything that,
Everything that hath breath ________________?
Are you thankful? Far too many times if we are not careful, church services tend to turn into a complaining session rather than a time of praise. During singing, either the music too loud, not loud enough, the wrong song, or in the wrong key. Congregational singing is followed by prayer requests. During requests, we take a great deal of time sharing with everyone how sick we are or how bad we really have it. This sometimes becomes more of a competition of sorts to determine who is worse off. Before you shake your head, be honest, you already have someone’s name in your head. After prayer, most services go into a time of testimony and songs. This too can lead into a momentous time of complaining. After this becomes the norm for a church, they begin to wonder why the Holy Spirit’s presence isn’t felt and why visitors choose not to return. What can we do to change it? I think a good place to start would be in Scripture and maybe even in Psalm 150:6
Let everything that has breath
praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord!
Take a deep breath. Are you still alive? Great, then you should praise the Lord. Have you ever wondered how our creator and sustainer must feel when he has provided everything for us, and yet we still find something to complain about. ESPECIALLY IF IT IS IN CHURCH? Take a minute to count your blessings Maybe you should even write them down. If you do, I am confident that you too will be praising the Lord rather than complaining about your current situations.

Mary Lou Grooms, Paul Kemp, and Donald McCarty attended First District Council on October
15th. Paul Kemp reported on a message shared about discipleship and the importance of nurtur-
ing new Christians, just as one would care for a newborn baby. Mary Lou reported that eight
churches were represented. Two areas of scripture shared were II Timothy 3:1-5, so telling of the
times we are living in, and Luke 9:47-52.
Some attended the Monroe Twp. Sunday School Convention at Wrightsville on October 16th.
There was good report of a local church growing and flourishing. Praise God.
Congratulations to the kids on a great job at the last Youth Rally. The senior team placed 3rd in
Quiz and the primary team placed 3rd in Sword Drills. The next rally will be November 13th,
2:00pm, at the Adams County Christian School. Come out to support the kids if you can.
We are gearing up for our Operation Shoebox packing party. Our congregation has been collect-
ing items all year, and we are anxious to see how many shoeboxes we get this year.
We have many on our prayer list. There seem to be so many enduring trials and illnesses. Thank-
fully, God knows all the needs. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10—And he said unto me, My grace is suffi-
cient for thee, for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory
in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmi-
ties, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am
weak, then am I strong. H a p p y T h a n k s g i v i n g
There's a roof up above me
I've a good place to sleep
There's food on my table
And shoes on my feet
You gave me your love Lord
And a fine family
Thank you Lord
For your blessings on me!
