HAPPY THANKSGIVING


I've been reflecting this Thanksgiving week on just how BLESSED we truly are! Almighty God has been so good to all of us. We used to sing an old hymn in church that said, "Count your blessings, name them one by one. Count your blessings and see what God has done." I would encourage you to take some quiet time this week, in between the food and the football games, to count your blessings out loud! Instead of focusing on our problems, let's give God praise for Who He is, and for all that He has done for us!


I'm thankful for how God continues to add to His church each and every week. This past Sunday we welcomed 7 new members into our church family. Please, go out of your way to let these precious people know how happy we are to officially make them part of Midland Valley Community.


HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Pastor David A. Gallimore

PRAYER PARTNER MINISTRY

 

SEEKING ADDITIONAL VOLUTEERS

We are seeking an additional seven (7) volunteers for our Prayer Partner Ministry. The good news is that after almost a year of this ministry, we have not had one volunteer leave this ministry. The Prayer Partners are enjoying this ministry, and the ministry is making a big difference for our congregation. We would just like to move toward 8 on each team and maybe expand more in the future.

If you sign up for this ministry, then you will be assigned to one of the five Prayer Teams. You will serve on a 5 Sunday rotating basis. You will arrive at church at 8:00 am on your “duty” Sunday and prayer in the sanctuary for the services and then meet in Pastor David’s office at 8:15 to pray for him or whoever is preaching in his place.

Please contact Denny Giddings if you are willing to serve.
