Pastor’s Note

Servant Evangelism is demonstrating the love of God by offering to do some act of humble service with no strings attached.”  In 1 John 4:16 it states: “God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.”(NIV)  Since we are in God, we by our new nature in Him, are love.  It is essential that we demonstrate or perhaps more clearly stated, it is essential that we live out in practical terms the love of God in us, by offering to do acts of humble service with no strings attached.  As God gave of Himself freely in Christ (whether one responds to Him positively or not) we need to give of ourselves for the sake of others so that God’s love, which we have in us, will be seen by a world that does not know true love.

Youth Notes

What a great weekend!  First, I want to say thank you to everyone who helped and participated in this weekend’s Fall Festival.  I especially want to thank the students.  They were here by 2:00 P.M. and did not leave until after 11:00 P.M.  We registered 105 children during the celebration.    That is a tremendous outreach!  What a great opportunity to reach out to our neighborhood and show love to our community.

Please continue to pray for our student ministry.  We have been taking an in depth look at the life of Jesus and His ministry.  There is so much false information presented to our students today, and it is our job to help them find the truth.  This is a tough task and your prayers are greatly appreciated.

KIDS HOPE USA

I want to take a moment to thank Ann, Beverley, Fred, Cymbre and Doris Rae for coming to help me clean out my new office on work day.  I greatly appreciate it and could not have done it without you.
Don’t forget that we have three important events left this year for KHUSA.  The Fall Party is on Thursday, Nov. 5 from 3:30-5:30 in the South Davis Cafeteria. So far we have four families attending.  Friday, Nov. 20, is the KHUSA National Prayer Day.  Be sure to pick up your prayer materials on Sunday, Nov. 15 so that you can pray for our program and all of the others across the U.S.A. and Australia.  Finally, we will once again be having an Angel Tree program for our KHUSA families.  The application forms have been distributed and the adoption notebook will be available for you to choose your angels beginning Sunday, Nov. 29.

Thank you for loving these children,

Gena Blasingame

Dear UBC Family,

Words cannot express our sincere and deep appreciation for your prayers, love, hugs, food and support.  In spite of Erin’s many challenges, she taught us much and we know that she had great purpose in this life and touched many people.

Though we are sad in our loss, we rejoice in knowing that she is using her words and hands appropriately praising our Lord and Savior.

You have all brought much comfort and we are forever grateful for your friendship.

Love in Christ,

Nena & Ken Borah, Jonathan Borah, Sarah & Jeff Stapleton
