WITHIN THE FELLOWSHIP:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Owen Lockman 29th; Shirley Michalak, Bill Teate 30th; JoAnn Elliott December 1st; Everest Guerreiro 4th.
THE SERMON TITLE this morning is Let’s Get Radical. Jesus makes outrageous statements. He had the audacity to say that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of needle than for a rich fellow to get into the kingdom of God! Given that we live in the most affluent society in the history of the world, we might want to take notice! Of the seven churches to whom Jesus sends letters, none is rebuked as severely as the church in Laodicea. Will they be able to “hear” what Jesus speaks? Well, maybe we need to ask that question more of ourselves than of the Laodiceans. Jesus has a radical call and He has a radical promise.
COME, GIVE THANKS at our Thanksgiving Eve service this Wednesday evening. It begins at 7:30 and will include testimonies, songs, and a moving message on Eucatastrophes. Begin your Thanksgiving celebration in worship with God’s people.
THE SACRAMENT of Holy Communion will be shared during the service of worship next Sunday. Come prepared to worship and receive.

GOT YOUR SILK PURSE YET? Tables are in the narthex where you can register to be part of our Gospel Gleanings outreach. Leidy’s Church wants to provide the necessary undergirding for the gospel of the Lord Jesus to be taken to a people group in India that has never heard the name of Jesus. We need folk willing to pray daily for a year and give a dollar a day for a year. Stop at one of the tables to join the support team and get your silk purse.
DENNY AND SUE BARGER wrote to say: We are grateful for the service of worship and fellowship meal for my mom’s funeral. Our family and friends were blessed. Please give our thanks to the ladies that provided a wonderful meal and a time of fellowship by which family and friends could reunite. And please thank Nancy for her marvelous organ playing. Our hearts are filled with comfort and joy.
