I have heard of people who feel threatened and unsafe since the election (including some college students I know), but also since the election I have not heard of actual violence. There are reports of racist texts being sent out, and that is simply wrong, but I don’t know too much about it.
Let us pray that things and people stay calm and willing to be reasonable.

Our church is having a “Friendsgiving Dinner” after our main service and baptisms the Sunday before Thanksgiving. If anyone wants to come, reach out to The Church Next Door (AZ)!
As for my wife and me, we are all over the state on Thanksgiving Day, barely at home at all.
For those at home, having the retirees or empty-nesters without local family come over could be encouraging. Maybe the new people in town or widow(er)s need some extra joy and fellowship. I remember being a transplant to another state and suddenly homeless and getting invites to homes (not so much from the church I was mostly attending, though …)
It can be a big impact on someone, including for the gospel and Church of our Lord.

This Sunday at Church I just want to personally ask: Consider whom you might invite to Thanksgiving Dinner from Church.

We hired a secretary this year, and it has been so helpful. We tell her frequently how grateful we are for her, but it is a good reminder to keep showing our gratitude!
Pray for church secretaries, too, because they face many obstacles and spiritual attacks, too!

Vote (if you are able), or don’t complain (because you did not take part in the process, and Philippians 2:14-16). Pray for our leaders to do well and even turn to Christ. Pray that the election can be reasonable.

As stated before, I have family and friends in the Helene corridor. Thankfully, they are all fine, though I hear many of those living outside of cities are still living without power.
I have several friends in Florida, too, and they are all okay, but they have also been talking about a lot of the destruction. Those with kids are not expecting schools to be open for at least most of this next week.

I also have family in the North/South Carolina area, having heard of loss of power and cell signal for days (power still out for a lot of people), and gas stations out of gas. The town my brother-in-law was married in in Georgia had many trees uprooted/knocked over.
Thankfully, everyone I know is alright, but they can’t do a lot of cooking at home either due to power constraints or having had to empty their fridges, so they are utilizing the restaurants that have power to get food. Naturally, this is costing extra money.
Let us pray for a quick recovery, wisdom and peace for those affected, and communities to work together well.

do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Philippians 4:6, ESV
God is our strength and power, and He grants these and anything else we need as we seek Him and ask, granting us more than we think to ask for.
