Italian Style Love Feast

Somebody Shout!

A kind reminder that we will enjoy an Italian menu during the Love Feast
this coming Sunday. The ladies will Git-r-done!

Since the holiday season brings a lot of xtra labor for everyone,
we will forego the Love Feast during the month of December and
serve Starbucks Coffee with doughnuts at 10:00 am. Arrive early and join us
for relational fellowship.

 However, I kindly request that we refrain from drinks and food when
 the Sacred Assembly is officially called together. Remember saints, 
The Gathering is a holy convocation unto the lord!

For The Kings Honor,

RGH

Awesome Report!

Give Him Praise!

 The "Advent Conspiracy" is absolutely being seeded in our hearts Saints! The Exalted Christ graced our little flock with his heart of  generosity today. Shout!

>Families hand packed 30 boxes of Christmas gifts for "Operation Christimas Child" providing destitute children in Haiti with gifts and the gospel.

>Your "offering of love" totalled $516.00 for our suffering brothers and sisters in Christ. The finance team agreed that we should round it up to $1000.00 and mail to "Voice of the Martyrs" and The Persecuted Church this week.

I commend each of you for Christ Centerd generosity and pray that we all celebrate the Advent Season with a greater understanding of our calling to be incarnational with the gospel. We certainly are seeing practical fruit of it's implications already.

You Are Loved!

Identifying With The Persecuted Church

This Sunday, November 14th, is set apart annually by the International Church as a time for Christians  to remember their brothers and sisters who are experiencing  severe persecution for the name of Christ and  their Christian faith.

Since  "The Gathering"  will join in this sacred event, may I kindly request that each Christ Follower come prepared to share a special  "offering of love" toward ministries that serve these sufferings servants of Christ.

Please bear in mind our ethos that convictionally restrains from mentioning giving or finances throughout the  year. However, since we are advocating the principles of  "The Advent Conspiracy", this is simply another opportunity to  "impoverish ourselves" so that others in need may be enriched by our sacrifice.Now that is truly what this Advent Season is  all about.

 Remember to bring the "Christmas Shoe Boxes" for Franklin Grahams "Good Samaritan Purse".  

God So Loved that He Gave! 
john 3:16


Somebody Shout!

Advent Conspiracy and Love Feast Events

Tomorrow night:

 We  launch the two part Wednesday night series covering "The Advent Conspiracy".
 Why? The good news of Christ's birth is a story of promise, hope, and a revolutionary love.  What was once a sacred time to celebrate the birth of our savior has been turned into a secularized season of stress, excess, commercialism and consumerism. Christians enter the new year with greater debt and emptiness. So, our goal is to  restore the Advent Season  to it's world-changing emphasis. How? Join us tomorrow night and take part in the conspiracy! Click  http://www.adventconspiracy.org/


November 7th Gathering:

Reminder that we celebrate the biblical "love Feast" on the first and third Gathering of each month. Ladies are encouraged to "get-r-done" by preparing some of your favorite dishes for this special event. Vicki is making this happen so promptly give her your ideas as well as what you will be preparing.
