Guest Speaker This Sunday

Scott Carter, a native of Amory, and someone most of you are familiar with, will be the guest speaker this Sunday at LifePointe Church. Make sure you don't miss this Sunday. And bring someone with you!

(We're sorry we left this out of our regular newsletter)

<<First Name>>, can you believe it's only 15 days until Christmas? Stopping to think about that can cause the pulse to quicken and the blood pressure to peg out! We've got all we want to buy and do before Christmas gets here and we don't know if we can make it happen. We get so stressed that we don't really get to enjoy the season.

So, bring your pulse down a notch. Whatever happens this Christmas, remember: Jesus still came, God still became man, and He loves you more than you can imagine. The greatest Christmas present ever is yours: Jesus.

Think about that.

<<First Name>>, we didn't get the newsletter out last week, so I want to share with you how our thanksGIVING Day went at LifePointe two weeks ago.

First, we collected shoeboxes for Samaritan's Purse and Operation Christmas Child. There were 53 shoeboxes collected! That means 53 children somewhere around the world will have a little better Christmas because you gave.

We also took up a special offering to support Highway and Hedges Ministry and build a new church building in a Mexican village. They needed $1500 to build the building. Our offering total was $1846!! Ryan is ecstatic! They were surprised and elated at your generosity.

Thank you for your heart for Jesus and those He cares about!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving holiday. And remember, we have many reasons to give THANKS to GOD!

Psalm 100
A psalm of thanksgiving.

1 Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth!

2 Worship the Lord with gladness.
Come before him, singing with joy.

3 Acknowledge that the Lord is God!
He made us, and we are his.
We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
go into his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him and praise his name.

5 For the Lord is good.
His unfailing love continues forever,
and his faithfulness continues to each generation.
