Announcements, events, prayer requests, and community updates.
THE PREACHING TODAY is drawn from Matthew chapter 18, a passage known as the “Discourse on the Church.” In today’s text (Matthew 18:10-14) Jesus says, “If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountain and go in search of the one that went astray?” (Matthew 18:12)
This morning, during our worship service, we will distribute coin cans to every family in the church.
A NEW ANCHOR BIBLE COLLEGE CLASS will start later this month. This is an exciting one-credit class called “The Theology of Worship.” The class will meet on Thursday evenings from 5:00-7:00 pm, with the first session on October 29, and concluding on December 17. How may you register? Go to anchorbiblecollege.org.
THREE WEEKS FROM TODAY, Sunday, November 1, is the National Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. On that Sunday our church will pray for brothers and sisters in hostile places who are faithful to our Savior, Jesus.
ALSO ON NOVEMBER 1, Daylight Saving Time will end. Clocks will “fall back” one hour.
COMING IN NOVEMBER: Two Sundays next month (November 15 and November 22) are designated as Thanksgiving Sundays at Hope Church. The worship services will be filled with testimonies of thanksgiving, all shared by the people of the church in recognition of God’s goodness to us this year.
CONGRATULATIONS to Tommy and Ginger Hart, who were married yesterday afternoon in a beautiful wedding service. May the Lord bless this couple as they start a new Christian family.
