This Sunday will be a big Sunday for a precious little girl, Emmerson Rinkel, daughter of Eric and Jennifer Rinkel. We will be celebrating her dedication at our service.

The choir had an awesome practice this past Wednesday getting ready for this coming Sunday and looking forward to the Holiday season. We missed Tyler Mackey because he was in Las Vegas at his singing competition. The whole choir watched him sing live from Las Vegas Wednesday evening after rehearsal. He sang, “You Lift Me Up” and did a wonderful rendition. Unfortunately Tyler did not make it to the next round but as I told him, Tyler, God has a wonderful plan for you and your story is just beginning. We will be glad to get him back with us.

Special prayer request: Our dear friend from India, Manoj, who has been a regular at our church with his wonderful smile and soft spirit needs God’s blessing to secure employment so he can continue his stay here in America. Manoj had what looked like a promising interview this past week but was not offered the position. Please lift Manoj to the Lord’s favor for a position.

A special note: I want to thank the entire congregation for being so giving, caring, and loving to one another. Over the past few months I have heard story after story of people helping, giving, sharing, and blessing others in this amazing church family. We are all blessed because all of you are such a blessing. Thank you, no pastor could want for a better congregation than this one! Sincerely, Kent
