       Laura Leatherwood brought her grandchildren, Ally and Silas to church.  Laura gave the children’s lesson and had a picture of a cornucopia or horn of plenty in her bag of surprises.  Laura asked the children what the horn of plenty meant to them.  Well it meant Thanksgiving Day of course.  But Laura said it also means we have plenty of good food and plenty of other wonderful things.  The children named things they were thankful for; for God, for family, for their house and their mother and also for Jesus. 

      It was reported certain people were thankful they got some of Kathy Logan’s baked goods at the Library bake sale.

      Neva Smith was in our prayers as she recovers from surgery and Alford Havens is recovering from a procedure.  Travis Rasberry is back in the hospital.  We pray these people are out and about and back with us soon.

      Our congregation extends sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Gracie Maikell and also for Dr. William Calhoun of Comanche.      

      Mary Haley was our Worship Leader and Leta Sage our musician.  Leta sang a beautiful rendition of “People Need the Lord” for the Offertory.

      Rev. Ken Lunsford took his lesson from Matthew 25: 31-46.  These verses from the Bible tell us we should feed the hungry, give the thirsty something to drink, welcome a stranger, clothe the naked, take care of the sick, and visit those in prison.  Jesus said, “I assure you that when you have done it for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you have done it for me.”

     We need to view those in need as our brothers and sisters in Christ. The Spirit of Jesus lives in our heart and we see others through His eyes. Saints of God have a heart for those at the bottom of society.  This has always been so.

     I believe God calls each of us to do something to make life better for someone else.  That is what the text in Matthew is saying to us, isn’t it?  We see Christ in the poor and in the suffering of the world.  But when we enter into their need and try to serve them, something extraordinary happens.  They also see Christ in us!     

     Pastor Ken Lunsford along with Judy and other members of our congregation attended the 2014 Community Thanksgiving evening Service at Double N Cowboy Church.  We enjoyed the Double N Band’s toe tapping music.

     Dr. Cliff Sims, Pastor of First Baptist Church, brought the message. Dr. Sims told us we should praise God always, that our life circumstances are not a measurement for our praise.
