Hi Friends!
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever! (Ps. 118:29)
We have much to be thankful for don’t we?! We celebrated God’s faithfulness to FBC Brownsville for 161 years this past Sunday. Of course, Thanksgiving is officially next Thursday, but it truly is to be a regular occurence for the believer. I also want to thank you for your generous response to our special offering for missions last Sunday. Over $10,000 was received! This will be an incredible blessing to the 3 groups we chose to give to. Thank you for being generous for the Voice of the Martyrs effort toward refugees. And thank you for being generous with the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. This Sunday is the last day to bring in your boxes, so they can be delivered on Monday.
This Sunday I will be back in Revelation. We will look at 2:18-29, the Message to Thyatira. Please read ahead. Notice what Christ says are the strengths of that particular church, and what is the major weakness. Do some examination of your own life in terms of what is said there. Also, consider what important lessons our own local church can learn from this message. Come prepared to learn, worship, and repent if necessary!
As Christmas approaches (already?), Elizabeth is gearing up for a children’s Christmas program. The program will take place during the morning service on Dec. 21. This Sunday at 5:30pm there will be an informational meeting/tryout for all interested. We will meet in the preschool room. The other practices will be Sundays at 5:30 each week until the program. If you are interested in your child participating, please let Elizabeth know. You can reply to this email, or call her at .
Thanking the Lord for His goodness & steadfast love!
Love From Your Pastor,
Michael
