A Little Encouragement

This time of economic crisis has been incredibly difficult for almost everyone.  Watching
neighbors lose their homes, being the one who lost your home, struggling to keep our
families financial afloat, and wondering where God is in all this.  Times like this can be
misleading for our faith.  It looks like the worst is happening when in fact God has designed
these times to produce the best in us.

“For I know the thoughts I have toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil,
to give you a future and a hope.”
   Jeremiah 29:11

God has said that His thinking toward us is for the best for us not the worst.  So let me be
encouraged that what seems dark and ominous will give way to the light of the Lord’s will.  
And His will is focused on what is good for me and for all who are His people.

How can I be used right now?

I hope that is a question you are asking no matter your financial situation may be.  In this
season God’s people to more to bless than ever have before.  It is my pleasure to be able to
provide several opportunities for you to be blessing to someone in need during these trying
times.  On
November 22nd we will go out into the community and show the love of Christ by
giving away over 300 complete Thanksgiving meals to those in need of them.  



We will be sending a team from Christ Chapel to
the ACTS shelter to
help them feed over 1900 families
for Thanksgiving.  Look for the sign sheet in the church foyer.  

The Fellowship

If there is one thing that will keep a Christian going in these difficult times it is other
Christians.  We face so many challenges as Believers and it is our commitment as a church
to help you face those challenges and to make certain you are not alone in facing them.  To
this end we have established several classes in our midweek ministry program to address
some of life’s confronting issues.  The
Financial Management Class – The “Coming
through the Darkness”
Women’s Bible Study – The “Book of James” Men’s Bible Study
The “Downpour” College and
Young Adult Bible Study. They are all on Wednesday
evenings and they begin at 7:30 p.m.
