Up-coming: A Special "Thanksgiving" Mid-week Service

Dear Praying Friends,

That wonderful American tradition of "Thanksgiving" is not recognized here in the Philippines. In fact, unlike other countries, the Philippines does not have a day of thanksgiving. And so, seeing that there is nothing in the Scriptures that prohibit a church from hosting a Thanksgiving celebration, we are conducting a special "Thanksgiving" mid-week service on Wed. night, Nov. 27. We will start our celebration with dinner and games at 5PM. Then, the evening service will start at 7PM. We invited a special guest and friend to be our guest speaker for the evening, and we look forward to being a blessing to him and his family.

Col. 2:6-7 - "As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: (v.7) Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving."

Part of being a true and good disciple is to develop a thankful heart. And when we think about the mercy and grace of God, we cannot help but be thankful for sending us His Son, the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!

Please pray that God would use His words and His man to be a blessing to our church family, and our invited friends on that special "Thanksgiving" service.

Serving Him with a thanksgiving,

Bro. Bill

1 Jn. 5:7
