Dedicated to Building Authentic Relationships & Serving Intentionally
I'm so glad that we are off to a good start fulfilling our class mission statement. The men's small groups met last night and ladies will meet next week. This is a wonderful opportunity to build authentic relationships within our class.
The second part of our mission statement is to "serve intentionally". Starting Nov. 1 you will have an opportunity to do that. On that Sunday afternoon we will go to Mahon Library to distribute "Manna Bags" to the homeless people that gather there when it's almost dark. We are asking each family to provide a blanket and one of the canvas shopping bags that United sells. Also you will have a chance to sign up to bring nonperishable food items that will be placed in the bags. Jessica will have the sign-up sheet this Sunday. The other opportunity that you will have to serve intentionally will begin in December. Our church always reaches out to families from Wester Elementary for Christmas and of course our class will adopt a family or two. This year we will maintain contact with the family and build a relationship with them. Each month we will ask them how we can bless them that month and then as a class we will meet their need. Much prayer has been put into planning these ministry opportunities and I thank Jessica & Kevin for their leadership in this area. Please pray about how you and your family will be involved!

Forgiveness...
I don't know about you but I thought Sunday's lesson was very powerful! I'm sure we'll all get an opportunity to practice it this week! By the way, if you are ever looking for a great book to read, I highly recommend The Shack. It really gives you a new perspective on forgiveness and GOD.
