Coming Up Sunday, November 11

This Sunday, we will continue our month-long sermon series, "Jonah: Lone Wolf Prophet of God."  After our young people dramatized Jonah's miraculous rescue by God through the intervention of a large sea creature, we will turn our attention to how Jonah resumes his activity as a prophet.  While you might Jonah to be desperate to please God, it quickly becomes clear that he is balancing this desire with the his equal desperation to limit contact with the heathens of Nineveh.  In a sermon titled, "How Far Is Far Enough?" we will explore the power of God's truth despite the reluctant mouthpiece.

Also this week, we will have a couple of special moments during worship.  We will recognize those in the life of our congregation who have served in the military on Veteran's Day, including some special music and a special prayer.  And, as part of our offering, we will collect a special Thanksgiving Offering, which supports church-related colleges and seminaries and other higher education-related institutions.
