This Morning is Small Groups #5: Submit Yourself to God. Our culture certainly idolizes people with big celebrity personalities and their giant egos; however, God values a much different characteristic in all of us. James writes, "humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up" (James 4:10). This Sabbath will be a message of putting less emphasis on ourselves by putting God's will ahead of our own.
Next Week is Small Groups #6: Waiting Upon the Lord. We will learn in our final sermon on our Book of James series that Christian maturity comes as we are able to be patient and even rejoice in our sufferings. James says, "as you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered" (James 5:11).
Pajama Drive: Every child should have a good nights sleep. Part of that is having a warm set of pajamas and good night book. To that end we are donating NEW pajamas for children in our area.
Saturday, December 13th is the deadline to donate. See the enclosed flyer for more details.
Celebration Sabbath Luncheon: The small groups will be bringing different types of soups to sample. Each group will have a table to showcase their soup. If you're not in a group and want to bring some food to help, please bring something that goes with soup (crackers, bread, corn bread, or something for the kids).
If you're enjoying the small group series and you are able to donate a few dollars, that will help us cover our costs and bring more series like this to you. Mark your donation for Small Group Series. Thanks!
November 22nd is Celebration Sabbath. This Sabbath's worship service caps off the Book of James small group series. Bill Aumack will lead us in a time of testimony to show how powerfully God has lead in each of our small groups. After our worship service, we will close our celebration with a fellowship lunch.
