December

Here we are the last month of the year, If you are anything like me, December already? Looks like the first week is going to be cold at least for us Florida Folks! At least on the outside, inside of each of us there is a burning fire for life in God’s word. We would like you to be in attendance with us this whole month. I find it very encouraging when you are here with us, as I know others feel the same about you. We have been doing some outside clean up, but there is always more to do. We have (1) room to finish cleaning up, so in January, we can set it up and start using it for counseling and meetings. We are still looking for a day to paint the fellowship hall and the hallways. If you would like to help decorate the building inside, please see Deena Fiorello. Keep in mind, we still need volunteers on Thursday mid-mornings. Pastor Charles has started a focused and purposeful prayer group on Wednesday’s at 5:30pm. The time was set so that more people that work could be there. See Pastor Charles for more details. We are continuing with our Hebrews study on Friday evenings. We will be in Chapter 8 the beginning of December. There are many other things on the web site as well for you to look into. The weekly parsha readings are on the weekly bulletin, just because we are not studying it on Friday’s doesn't mean it is not important. This is a great way to learn God’s word, at its foundation. We all should be in God’s word more, don’t take my word for it, go to the scripture and read it for yourself. We believe that since God gives us 24 hours in a day, that His tithe is 2-hours and 40 minutes per day. Of course, if you stay longer that is fine too, you will only grow more and be drawn closer to HIM. However you celebrate this season, celebrate unto HIM. HE sees your heart; HE knows you better than you know yourself. HE has written a scroll about you before you were even born. HE loves you more than you will ever know until you are in HIS presence. Please continue to pray about how you can serve here. It is one thing to show up, but a whole other level to be here and serve in one way or another. The blessing that you will receive will outweigh the time you put in. Our God has been faithful in all things, HE has answered prayer, HE has pointed out truth to us, He has multiplied offerings, HE has opened doors, and just as important HE has closed doors that needed to be closed.

In Christ - Pastor Tim
