Sisters and brothers,
Happy Monday to all! Yesterday, we worshipped our amazing God who rules the universe and seeks for the salvation of people from every tribe, language, people, and nation. From the missionary that spoke, we saw God’s Holy Spirit expanding God’s Kingdom all around the world, even in places where there is great hostility. We heard about God bringing together people through Jesus who had been hostile to one another. We were challenged to remember that wherever God has placed us, we are His missionaries to take the good news of Jesus to our spheres of influence. Believers are part of something far greater than ourselves, the eternal Kingdom of God.
A big “thank you” for all who contributed to our “Trunk or Treat” event last Saturday. We had 150 to 200 people attending. We handed out more than 150 gospel tracts to bear witness to our neighbors of the love of Jesus.
We will have a EMBC membership orientation class on Sunday, November 10 at 4:00 PM for all who would like to learn more about being a member of East Madison Baptist Church. Let me know if you are interested in joining us.
We will have our annual East Madison Baptist Thanksgiving celebration on Sunday, November 17, at 5:30 PM. There will be a sign-up list for the food we need for this celebration on the table in the foyer next Sunday.
Remember to keep praying continually for each other. None of us know fully the burdens our brothers and sisters in Christ might be carrying.
Love being your pastor!
Bob Ray, Pastor, East Madison Baptist Church
