IT’S ALWAYS TIME to praise the Lord!

Right now IT’S ESPECIALLY TIME to praise the Lord!

Psalm 65 – among so many others! – says it well.

“Praise is awaiting You, O God”! – 66:1

“By awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us, O God of our salvation.” – 66:5

“You crown the year with your goodness”! – 65:11

 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

 

SINGLE ADULTS SERVING CHRIST TOGETHER

in the Great Commission thru the NF

NEXT EVENT…

Host Church:  Pines Brook Baptist Church, 1444 Pines Brook Rd., Walton NY 13856

Host Pastor:  Chris Bosnyak

Event Theme:  Hope for the Holidays

Type of Ministry:  Ministry Table at local grocery store and Neighborhood Calling.

Ministry Description:  Whether working the Ministry Table at our local grocer or venturing out into our community via Neighborhood Calling, we will all have the same Gospel resources to take with us and share with those we encounter in God’s providence.  Included in each gift bag will be a Thanksgiving Tract, Christmas Tract, selected Daily Bread devotionals on Loneliness, a church pen, and a ministry card.  In addition, we will be supplying a strategic Christian survey to help engage meaningful discussion with those we meet.  To assist with encouraging “strangers” to take the brief survey, a $7.00 gift card to our local grocery store will be offered to each one who takes the survey.  But, having said all this, the fact remains, that the greatest resource our community will receive, is Christ in you, the hope of glory.  The sincerity of your faith and the earnestness of your desire to bless, serve and love those you meet, will make a lasting and useful impression, by the grace of God and for the glory of Christ.

Saturday Snapshot:

• Arrive at PBBC at 1pm for informal time of getting acquainted
• Officially get started with prayer and mapping out the mission with resources, who goes where, and how it all gets done.
• Head out to our community by 1:45pm and serve the Lord together until 4pm
