OCTOBER

PASTOR APPRECIATION

MONTH 

October is known as Pastor Appreciation Month. Thanks to those of you who regularly find ways to show your love and appreciation to Joe and Amy.  Your thoughtfulness shown to them is a blessing.  This month is a great reminder to be faithful to do what we have been commanded to do.  1 Thessalonians 5:12,13 says, "And now, friends, we ask you to honor those leaders who work so hard for you, who have been given the responsibility of urging and guiding you along in your obedience. Overwhelm them with appreciation and love!"

During this month, please ask the Lord to show you a way you can give honor and show your love to Joe and Amy.  A well-worded card with a heartfelt message added by you is great place to start.  Be creative in your expression, allow the Lord to speak something specific to you if He desires.  Let's "overwhelm them with appreciation and love" this month and, as God leads, all year long.

Samaritans Purse

Operation Christmas Child

Kickoff on Sunday, October 9

Pack a shoe box for a child and share the love of Jesus.  Samaritan's Purse, headed by Franklin Graham, will deliver the gift boxes and a story book explaining salvation to 108 countries, including Haiti.  This is a powerful way for your entire family to participate in evangelism.  Boxes and instructions will be available on the back table on Sunday mornings and in the Church/School office during the week.

Operation Christmas Child Shares Joy and Hope

The sprawling Kibera slum outside Nairobi, Kenya, is a place of crushing poverty and despair.  Families live in a world without electricity, running water, or sanitation.  Children run barefoot through festering heaps of garbage.  In these desperate circumstances, God used a gift-filled shoe box and a five year old girl named Roseline to help an entire family find eternal hope in Jesus Christ.

Operation Christmas Child was started in 1990 by Franklin Graham, Evangelist Billy Graham's son.  Last year 8.2 million shoe boxes containing simple gifts like toothpaste, a small teddy bear, and hard candy delivered love and the message of Jesus Christ to children in poverty.

To each box, Samaritan's Purse adds a story book, "The Greatest Gift of All," written in the appropriate language.  Then volunteers follow up, inviting children and their families to attend a six-week Bible study.

As a result, millions of boys and girls have heard the message of salvation for the first time, and they responded by committing their lives to Jesus Christ.

For instance, in a small church in southeast India, 30 families began attending church regularly as a result of the Christmas boxes.  The pastor said, "Even the village elders are attending the church now, and the children themselves are taking part by inviting other children to come to church."

Shorewood Foursquare Church is participating in this Samaritan's Purse project.  It is a powerful way to teach children the joy of giving and the importance of evangelism.

Adults may pick up boxes and instructions about what and how to pack in the church/school office and at the back of the sanctuary on Sundays.  All boxes must be returned by Sunday, November 13th for international distribution.
