I would like to encourage our church family and friends to come to our Christmas Cantata: Come to the Manger this Sunday. There will be 2 showings at 9am and 10:45am.
The Cantata has three major movements. First, the humble scene of Bethlehem's manger with the shepherds attending. Secondly, there is the picture of visit of the Magi in Jesus' toddler years bringing gifts of precious and meaningful treasure. Finally, there is return to the manger with the realization of Christ's identity as future King and Lord.
I trust the Lord will use this event to be a blessing to believers and a gospel light to those without Jesus.

Important Announcements
Dear Church Family,
Please consider carefully the following:
1. This Sunday 11/18/10 is our Quarterly Building Offering - "Waiting On the Lord". Right now, we are on a "holding pattern from heaven" and we are terribly dependent on the Lord for the finances of our new Building. Now is the time for us to give in faith because we know the Lord has to do something miraculous among us. We are actively pursuing banks to loan us the money for our project, but the economy is causing them to be very stingy. We trust the Lord perfectly that He will make very clear to us what we must do. Right now, it is clear that we are to joyfully WAIT ON HIM. While we wait, we must make our own finances as attractive as possible to secure the loan. So, I ask you to give from the heart.
2. On Sunday Night, Brian Geeseman from Eagle Ranch will be with us to publicly give Joey Masarik his Diploma and to present the ministry to our church. This is the Ranch where Joey spent six months getting his mind straightened out before the Lord. I would like us to give a respectable offering to the Ranch, but I realize that "you can't squeeze blood from a turnip." I have already asked you to give to the Revival, give to the Building offering, give your tithes -- and that's a lot of giving-------SOOOOOO.........
Let's be creative..... On Sunday evening you will find an addressed envelope on your seat to EAGLE RANCH. Please take the envelope home and send the Ranch Money as soon as you can. We have JOEY to prove the value of this great work for the Lord. If you are prepared to give on Sunday Night - then, please put the money in the envelope (checks to Eagle Ranch) and place in the normal offering.
Thank you for considering these two items ----- Don't forget the Men's Prayer breakfast on Saturday at 8am) - -- forgive any Typos in this email....no time to edit :)
Much Love to all,

Vote Righteousness
http://www.delawarefamilies.org/pdfs/2010_Primary_Voter_Scorecard_(2)3.pdf
We are 2 days away from Mid-term elections.
Proverbs 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
• Please understand that this world cannot be changed by politics, governments, or elections - but by the gospel of Jesus Christ.
• As Christians we must not get into the mindset of changing our world through Politics.
----However - we must engage in voting and even running for leadership in America to be righteous - we are commanded to take a stand for righteousness.
Pastors and Churches have always played a huge role to shape the direction of America - Come Tuesday Morning -- You must Vote for Righteous Candidates.
*Vote for candidates that follow the Bible - Morality, Pro-life, pro-religious liberty. You must reject candidates that agree with the pro-gay agenda.
*I would step further and challenge you to realize that socialist candidates are not Biblical - God rewards hard work and says to give to others from your love and will --- not by force.
----First I ask you to Vote - you have not right to complain if you do not vote --- Then Vote Righteousness on Tuesday. Vote for candidates that line up best with God’s Morality, direction, commands.

Thank You!
I wanted to thank each of you that were so thoughtful for Pastor's Appreciation Day this past Sunday. Thanks to the Deacons who thoughtfully organized everything.
Amy and I opened each card with love and thankfulness. Thank you for all the gifts and the kind words you expressed. I especially want to thank the Kings Kids and children's classes for their excellent projects and displays. I love these things and will cherish them.
It is my great privilege and opportunity to be your Pastor. I do pray that I will be a faithful and loving under-shepherd to each of you.
Much Love,
