2012 Harvest of Love

Kick-off Time!

Throughout November and December,
the Salvation Army and the Newton Ministerial Alliance
are inviting area church families to join in our annual food
and funding drive to support people in need in Harvey County.



Please bring nonperishable food items to church
when you come for worship and other activities.

The local Salvation Army food pantry and assistance office
have seen significant increase in requests for help in the past year,
so we have a goal to meet or exceed of 30,000 pounds of food
and more than $30,000!

Each donation is a gift that makes a difference for a local resident.
Shall we give as Christ gave?
Let us give our best!
Let us give our all!
Let us do this thing together!

Fall Fellowship BBQ

We came.


We worshiped Jehovah.


We boldly petitioned His throne.


We made a joyful noise unto The Lord, our God.


We ate.


Oh, that's the drink station...and the whole hog BBQ and fixins were so good...
we ate em all before we could post a picture.
Forgive us. We did use our manners.
We did thank God before partaking...
next time we'll use the camera, too!

Stay-tuned to hear the God-stories
from your brothers and sisters
in Christ!
And get yours ready...
We know He is working!

Restoration is God's Specialty

Restoration Sunday Car Show
was a lesson of hope.

Acts 3:11-21

Peter Speaks to the Onlookers

¹¹ While the man held on to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon’s Colonnade. ¹² When Peter saw this, he said to them: “Fellow Israelites, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? ¹³ The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go. ¹⁴ You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. ¹⁵ You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. ¹⁶ By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.
¹⁷ “Now, fellow Israelites, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders. ¹⁸ But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Messiah would suffer. ¹⁹ Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, ²⁰ and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. ²¹ Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.

LOOK OUT for the STATION...
tots a loose!

The Station

A provision from God above,
with a new name.



Isn't it JUST like our God to resurrect
things? Not let them stay in their dead state,
but make all things new, again!
Thus, we present The Station.



A building with a past, and a rough
travel to get to this
completed state.



Completed with memorials
from the John & Margie Mitchem family.



Also celebrating the life of Jessica Davis
and her service to the Lord,
The Station has a powder blue room, her favorite color,
for the toddler classroom.



What a party we had.
150 celebrating together
and praising Jehovah Jireh
for his provision!















Celebrate
God
Times...
C'mon!

Celebrate With Us

The building addition
has found itself
among willing workers,



plants & shrubs,
mulch,



deck furniture,



and a sidewalk that leads to the double glass doors soon to come
to the main building!
With grass still to come, the work continues.

Now that's something to celebrate!
Praise God for His provisions
and timing with the new addition
to the campus!

And just WHAT building are we talking about?
Well, join us May 15 at 4pm for
food and fun and the ribbon cutting
to unveil the new name of our building addition!

So much to thank our God for.
What a mighty God we serve!

Won't you join us?

We Gathered

There are times of family
and food that are sweet,
and this was one of them.

November's Praise & Pie brought blessings
to all who shared their time.

Trumpet praises...



Tambourine temptations...



Friends gathering around hymnals...



Children deciphering hymnals...



Puppets praises...



and with just as much delight, the pie-eating!









For a time such as this,
connecting with the family of God.
