GATHER GROW GIVE GO

november 2026

Give Thanks

We are commanded in the word of God to “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever” (Ps 107:1) And there are so many ways and things we can thank Him for.

We can thank Him through our prayers. We can thank Him with faithfulness. We can praise Him with singing. We can praise Him for our church family. So many things and ways exist for us to praise the Lord. We can never have a heart too full of thanksgiving to our Lord and I hope we will all take time during this busy season to give thanks to Him who provides for all of our needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus.

And finally, I want to take a moment to thank YOU. Thank you for being a part of this wonderful church family and being such an encouragement to your pastor! I am so very thankful to God that I get to be part of this loving body of Christ and I look forward to seeing God’s continued work in all of us as we strive together to proclaim His name to the world and our community.

So take a moment, even now, just to pray and give thanks to God, the provider of every good and perfect gift that comes from above. You won’t regret it.

In His Service,

Pastor Jared

Thank You Lord

Written by Vi Roop

Thank you Lord for each new day,

And giving me strength to go on my way,

And for the night when I can rest

Knowing I’ve given God my best.

For family and friends to brighten my life,

And yes Lord, I even thank you for strife.

Through sickness and pain, I know you are there,

Always ready to hear my prayer.

I thank you for sunshine and rainbows too,

But most of all for just being you.

You died for me on that old rugged cross

Then rose again so I wouldn’t be lost.

I thank you for animals and birds that sing,

And for the many blessings that each new day brings.

There are so many things that I could say,

So Jesus I thank you for this Thanksgiving Day!

OWLS’ Gathering

Pumpkins and Pot Luck Lunch was our October theme at our OWLS Gathering today at TBC. The tables were full of pumpkins and beautiful fall leaves thanks to our one and only Ellen. Thank you for donating the pumpkins and decorating the tables. Lunch, well let’s just say I fell into a panic mode of thinking there wouldn’t be enough food! I can’t believe I doubted for even 1 moment. Liz assured me we’d have enough food and God already knew there would be leftovers. Silly me!

Pumpkin games, canvas painting, pumpkin decorating and a pumpkin puzzle made for a very fun day.

Lastly desserts were in abundance and delicious as usual. I’m so blessed to be a part of our OWLS group! Thank you to everyone that comes.

Till next time. Blessings, Nancy Miller
