Thank
You
Just a note to say how grateful we are for all
you have done - for praying for us, for allowing us to stay in the
mission house, etc. It was nice to come back to the U.S. and find a nice, warm, and renovated house
waiting for us. Thanks for all the work that was done to the house.
We have been traveling a lot these days, but look forward to
spending some Sundays "at home" at North Cleveland...soon. May the
Lord bless you richly, as you have blessed us. - Chris,
Lori, Marcus, & Fisher Heil
Thanks for your prayers for my husband
J.T. after his surgery. Thanks to the Adult
2 Dept. for taking care of our leaves. I love my church family. -

Lottie Moon Christmas Offering For Foreign Missions -Our
Church Goal for 2008 is $27,500...Every penny given to Lottie Moon
is used to support Southern Baptist missionaries as they share the
Gospel overseas. This allows our church to join in a strategic
global effort to reach the whole world. It also enables our
missionaries to spend their time working to reach lost souls instead
of raising their own support. Give so others can hear!
THE LOTTIE MOON POST OFFICE is
located in the Welcome Center. You may send Christmas cards to
members and people who regularly attend our services through this
ministry. The Women on Mission are sponsoring the post office.
Simply put your cards in the mail box and they will be sorted and
placed in the appropriate box. You should check your box often to
see if you have cards from others for your family. We ask that you
give the amount you would have spent on postage to the Lottie Moon
Christmas Offering for Foreign Missions.
RACIN' FOR
LOTTIE - December 7 at 3:00 p.m. in the Annex...encourage our
young men and help Foreign Missions all at the same time. See one of
our Royal Ambassadors to sponsor their Royal Racer for this event.
Attend the competition - cheer on your car. All money raised will go
toward the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.
You are invited to a Bridal Shower honoring Traci McAmis
and Adam Elder, Sunday, December 14 from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. in the
