OUR Plan for CHRISTMAS blessing

Hello Community family and friends

I trust you are well. It is exciting to know that the roof on our office building is nearing completion, and I want to thank all those who gave to make this happen. Keep on giving through our regular offering and the vision fund.

We kick off our Christmas mission offering as well. This is the time, through December 31, that gifts are given to share Jesus with the world as Acts 1:8 says. Some stays here at home, and this offering stretches to the ends of the earth. Give as you can. We will announce our goal soon.

This Sunday we have special guests joining. The Silent Servants led by Teri Shumate will share their incredible ministry of music and drama with us. I will be preaching the 3rd message of our 10th birthday celebration too. Join in Sunday at 10:10am, and bring someone with you that doesn't normally attend church.

Two projects on in the works for the Christmas season. Your help is needed with both...

First, we will be serving foster children in our community who do not receive gifts in other ways. At church this Sunday please pick up the cards with the information and return your gifts around December 12. We also have an Angel Tree from Salvation Army at church. Please help these children experience the joy of Christmas.

Second, we will be blessed Collinsville Primary and John Redd Smith Elementary School by adopting their workers to send Christmas cards and deliver a meal. Sign up this Sunday to be a blessing to these special school workers.

May God use each of us to demonstrate the love of God to our community and beyond today and this Christmas season. I look forward to seeing you on Sunday!

With GOD as my guide,

Pastor Michael Harrison

-- James 1:5

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan. His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God. Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st. The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit. Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people. It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about. And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those. He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class. It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before. He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born. It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
