Reflections from Pastor Jennifer
We learn from Daniel that sometimes the hold up is due to spiritual warfare. I encourage you today to keep fighting! Though you feel weary, do not faint! God heard you when you first began to pray. Ask, and keep asking. Knock, and keep knocking! Seek, and keep seeking. Read Luke 11:1-13 today to be reminded of the importance of persistence in prayer.

Church Christmas Party
OCC Thank you to everyone who helped at the Samaritan's Purse processing center! It was a lot of work, but I also heard a lot of laughter. If you were not able to go, or want to go again, we will try our best to get a time slot next year. | Ladies Gift Exchange - tonight! If you are reading this in real time, Sis. Robbin is hosting a party at her house tonight, Dec. 5 @ 6:30. Bring a food item to share and a wrapped gift (no more than $20). Ladies only, and bring a friend! Contact me, Sis. Robbin, or Sis, Joyner for the address. | Angel Tree Gifts If you were able to take a tag for the Angel Tree project, here are some reminders: gifts are due by Friday, Dec. 9. Bring unwrapped gift(s) to Robbin tonight, to church Wednesday, to the Davidson PD by Friday, or contact me to arrange a meet-up. Attach the tag you received to the gift items you purchased. Give as though giving on behalf of the Lord. |
