Jean Volpe, Pat Beaty, and Barbara Bean have celebrated October birthdays. We hope Carley and Carey Belew will enjoy their big day on 10-27.
Laura Leatherwood gave the children’s lesson on being thankful. She told the youngsters how Jesus healed ten lepers but only one gave Jesus thanks. Laura and the group discussed that we should be thankful to God for many things and we should remember to tell God thank you.
Cole Moore and Zack Miller assisted with the offertory. Pat Beaty sang “I Will
Offer Praise” as the offering was taken.
Rev. Ken Lunsford’s sermon was titled “Giving Thanks, Every Day!” He based it on Luke 17: 11-19.
The story in Luke tells about the healing of ten lepers. Word had reached these retched men that this miracle worker named Jesus had cured a leper. They approached Jesus as a group with the words: “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” Jesus responded: “Go show yourselves to the priests.” Now the priests were also the health officers. An infectious person that had been cured could receive a health certificate from the priests.
Luke put it this way: “And it came to pass, as they went, they were healed.” They had obeyed the command of Christ and their healing had come. One returned to give thanks, to “Praise God with a loud voice.” Jesus said: “Where are the nine? Will no one return and give thanks to God?”
The one who returned was a Samaritan, he was considered an outcast, he was a Gentile. And to this man Christ gave not only a physical blessing but a
spiritual blessing also. Jesus said”Go your way. Your faith has saved
you.”
We received three new members into our congregation they are Jennifer Miller and her sons Zack and Nolan. Jennifer is a teacher in the Dublin ISD and new to town, let’s make her and the boys welcome!
Pastor Ken and Alford Havens went to Fort Worth after church last Sunday to visit with Larry Fletcher. Larry was in Harris Methodist Hospital recovering from surgery.
