Do not pray for a lighter load, but for a stronger back. “Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his presence continually!” I Chronicles 16:11 Find out where you can render a service; then render it. The rest is up to God. (S.S. Kresge) “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people…” Galatians 6:10(a) No time is lost when you are waiting on God. “Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him.” Psalm 37:7(a) Progress involves risks. You can’t steal second and keep your foot on first. (Frederick Wilcox)
“Where there is no vision, the people
perish.” Proverbs 29:18(a)

Thanksgiving DMF Offering Looking for a safe investment? For two centuries, Disciples colleges and universities have trained Disciples leaders to think clearly and rationally and to minister to the world around them. While those first instructors and students might not recognize modern campuses, those classic values live on in the 21st Century. Disciples undergraduate institutions serve nearly 27,000 students in a wide variety of settings – from a rural college town with several hundred students to a metropolitan setting with almost 9,000 students. Despite those differences, these schools all share a commitment to the church, emphasize spiritual faith and values, and cherish a commitment to a liberal-arts education. Your gift to the Thanksgiving Special Offering supports the training of our church’s emerging leaders – an investment in our church’s future. The offering will be received on November 16 and 23. We hope to have a special guest delivering a “Minute for Missions” on November 16 during the service of worship. Trailblazers Sunday School Christmas Gathering

Honor Flight Heroes On Saturday,
November 15, Louie Crouch News from Disciples Schools Lynchburg College will host "Step Out and Serve: A Global Gala" to help provide humanitarian relief to the people of Haiti, St. Lucia, Uganda, Kenya, Sudan, and Rwanda. The gala will take place on the evening of Nov. 15 and feature exhibits, food, music, a fundraising pledge drive and service opportunities. It will cost $25 for general admission and $10 for students. Jarvis Christian College has been awarded a $1.9 million grant from the National Science Foundation. The grant will be used to assist Jarvis students who are majoring in biology, chemistry or mathematics. The NSF money, which will be disbursed to the Hawkins, Texas, college through 2012, will also be used to support undergraduate research in science and math. The NSF grant will be available to Jarvis juniors and seniors. In addition, the students selected to receive the scholarships will be obligated to complete a stint as a faculty-supervised lab assistant in their discipline during a minimum of two first-year lab periods. Pacific School of Religion has joined Disciples Seminary Foundation in acquiring University Christian Church, a history-rich church located across the street from the Berkeley (CA) seminary. University Christian Church was built in 1931. University Christian held its final service in February 2007. The church site is now known as the Ecumenical Center of Berkeley. From the beginning, PSR students attended church there, and Jack Finegan, University Christian's longest serving pastor, taught Old Testament classes at PSR for 30 years. |
