From our INTErIm mINISTEr oF muSIC… Thanksgiving is inspiring, isn’t it? There’s something about this particular holiday that causes us to reflect on what’s really important and brings a fresh perspective into our lives. It’s the time of year when all of our feelings turn to thankfulness. Thankfulness for friends and family, new life in Christ and a place at His table, our health, our careers, and the list could go on and on. I’m aware of the fact that life is far much better than I deserve. The world is full of pain and suffering, hardship and turmoil, disappointment and re-gret. Yet, I find myself thankful to be right in the middle of this busy, yet rewarding, season in my life. The Bible is full of passages on gratitude and thankful-ness. It’s used in commands, parables, and prayers. So when we actively practice gratefulness, we become more of who God created us to be. Plus, we also get to connect with Him through our thankful thoughts and prayers. Unlike talent, gratitude is something that’s freely available to all of us and completely within our control. It’s not a special “gifting” that some people have and others don’t. It’s not a feeling that floats through the air at the end of each November. It’s a choice. Every day we get to choose to be thankful and to ex-perience the side benefits of gratefulness all year long. I’m learning there is a responsibility that comes with privilege. That I am blessed to bless. Gifted to give. I am not lucky, fortunate, or merely disciplined; I am expected to do something with the grace I’ve been given. And so are you.
DID you kNow ThaT… - The church currently has a total of 12 employees. - The CDC currently has a total of 50 employees.
Thank you for your continued faithfulness in giving!
