Christmas Musical
Sunday, December 9, 2018
10:00 AM Morning Worship Service
Worship Center
Join us for this glorious Christmas Celebration as our "Multi-
Gen Christmas Choir" leads us in an exciting worship experi-
ence that uniquely involves choir, worship team, worship band
and congregation! Hope for the Ages is a powerful and pas-
sionate worship service that involves people of all ages in the
telling of the birth of Jesus Christ through the combination of
Scriptures, arrangements of best-loved carols, incredible new
congregational worship songs, and anthems.
S tarting in 1888, the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering® was es-
tablished to empower the international missions efforts for
Southern Baptists. After more than a century, the annual offer-
ing continues its steady growth. Your giving enables missionaries to
be sent to make disciples and multiply churches among unreached
peoples and places for the glory of God. Our offering walk will be
Sunday, December 16.

Because It’s Good
for You!
Fill in the blank: “Why do I have to __________?”
Possibilities include…“Eat this vegetable?” “Exercise
regularly?” “Obey my parents?” The Answer in every
case? Because it’s good for you! Some things we just
need to do because they are good for us.
The Psalmist tells us that giving thanks is good for us.
1 It is good to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing
praises to Thy name, O Most High; 2 To declare Thy lovingkindness in the morning, And Thy
faithfulness by night. Psalm 92:1-2
Giving thanks is good because it reminds us that every
good and perfect gift comes from our Father above
(James 1:17). Often I become ‘spiritually earthbound’.
My feet are tied to the ground and my vision is only
horizontal. My focus turns inward. I compare myself
with others and I become spiritually dull and downright
‘ill’. Know the feeling?
Giving thanks frees me/us from being earthbound. It lifts
the soul to God and brings the right perspective. God’s
very nature is ‘Good’. He loves His people and wants
good for us. Thanksgiving returns our attention to His
goodness toward us. Sometimes we see God’s goodness
clearly. Other times we must ‘believe’ that He is
orchestrating our present difficulties for our good. The
Apostle Paul writes, And we know that God causes all
things to work together for good to those who love God,
to those who are called according to His purpose.
(Romans 8:28)
This Thanksgiving, take advantage of the time off to do
something good for yourself. Look above. Look to the
Lord. Recall what good things He has done for you this
year and thank Him. Similarly, by faith thank Him for
some struggle you’re facing. Thanking Him even then
will raise your soul and bolster your faith. This will
remind you that God is in control and you can trust Him
to work for your good and His glory in whatever is upon
you. It’s good for you!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Service comes in many forms. Service happens to all
kinds of people in need in numerous ways. We are excit-

children in need right here in our own communities.
We will continue to finish up the purses for our special
