November is here already! I woke to my wife having the Hallmark Channel on. Hallmark Channel is playing Christmas movies full blast. Its weeks away from Thanksgivings and they are playing Christmas movies on television until the 1st week of January! With Thanksgiving coming, I hope it won’t be a day of just parades, football games, large meals, and deer hunting! I hope it will be a time that we stop and reflect on God’s blessings; a time we stop and thank Him and praise Him! The hymn writer penned, ´I’ve got so much to praise Him for, I’ve got so much to praise Him for! You see He’s been so good to me! When I thank Him for what He’s done and where He brought me from, I’ve got so much to thank Him for!” Yes, praise God!!! We do have SO MUCH to thank Him for!!! With this said, I want to encourage every church to set a goal to strive to reach, right now, for our Lottie Moon Christmas offering. I hope you and your church will prayfully set a goal for this year’s Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. Please attend our upcoming student rally planning meeting at the SMBA office on Sunday, November 5th at 4:00 PM. Also, on Monday, November 13 there will a Pastor/Deacons meeting at 7:00 PM at the SMBA office. Looking forward to seeing everyone!
