Our church sent one of our pastors to a small struggling church four years ago this month. What started as a church with 3-10 weekly attenders in an area with many ex-cons and struggling individuals, a food bank that fed a few dozen each week, has now become a church with several dozen weekly attenders feeding several dozen more at the food bank.
But Pastor Paul is beginning to feel his own years creeping up on him. This small country church needs a new shepherd, so our prayer has shifted slightly.
Let us lift up all such churches and those with other issues that need resolving.

Our little church keeps several pamphlets on our welcome table (we need to get some more!) Every several weeks, I have someone ask me questions about some of the points these bring up, even from regular attenders. While these pamphlets are not really “my thing” personally, I still appreciate the value they bring to helping connect people to truth.

This Sunday at Church: Give an Evangelistic Pamphlet to someone.

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.
Daniel
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.
