Hope you all had a productive week. The Thanksgiving Holiday will be here soon and I for one am looking forward to it. I purposely avoided eating turkey throughout the year in order to savory it at Thanksgiving dinner. Oh, and the many ways that leftovers can be enjoyed is also a tasty treat. Let me know how you creatively prepare your leftover turkey.
Church News:
Live Oak UMC:
*The sermon for the Communion Sunday Worship Service, on Nov. 6th came from the Gospel according to St. Luke 20:27-38. It was entitled:The God of The Living”. Rev. August preached that; God is not a God of the dead but of the living, which makes us a people of a living God and that we should live this life preparing for the next life. The way to prepare is to: talk to God/pray continually, cast your burdens upon Him, keep your tongue from evil and do the “Righteous” thing. Also, in observance of “All Saints Day” and “Thanksgiving”, dinner was served after worship service for all to enjoy while fellowshipping with one another.
