An Offertory Prayer

Loving Creator, you have generously and graciously given us blessing

after blessing, gift after gift, kindness after kindness. Your steadfast

love and amazing grace abound in our lives. You are awesome, and we

are hum-bled and deeply grateful.

Now we give our tokens of love and appreciation to you. First, we

offer our grateful hearts, minds and souls. Receive our praise and

thanksgiving. We also offer the gifts of our labor, our monetary

offerings, and our pledge of talent, time and service.

Help us be dedicated servants for you in our daily lives so we may be more worthy of the life you

have given us. In Jesus name. Amen.

Baptist Global Response

In-Home Care Kits

The BGR In-Home Care Kit is a compilation of medical and hygiene supplies. Items in this kit will

make the care-givers tasks much easier, but more importantly, will ease the suffering of the ones

affected by HIV/AIDS. The WMU, along with your help, plan to put together a bucket(s) for BGR.

The bulletin board will have puzzle pieces with items listed that are needed for

a bucket of HELP. Pick a puzzle piece and purchase the item(s).

Please this is very important....NO SUBSTITUTIONS ARE ALLOWED.

Purchase exactly what is on the piece. The bucket items have been specifically pickedout for the care and use of the HIV/AIDS person and to fit into the bucket.

By putting together a kit, we will help provide a physical and spiritual touch to those in sub-Saharan

Africa who are dying from AIDS and other illnesses. Our local partners in Africa will distribute the

buckets in a way that gives dignity and hope to each family receiving a kit.

WLBCs Goal of 6 Buckets/Kits

Listen to my cry for help, for I am brought very low. Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are

too strong for me. Psalm 147:7

Jericho Baptist Missionary Chapel

Annual Christmas Toy Drive 2010

Children are beginning to have visions of what will beunder the Christmas tree, but unfortunately for some, thisdream may not be a reality.

This year marks the 33 years that Jericho Outreach has been serving under-served families by providing toys and clothing to children (Ages 1-16) during ourAnnual Toy Drive.

We have set an aggressive goal to serving 1,000 children in the Central Virginiaarea with concentration on the inner city. With the economy in a slump, it is no

surprise that we have already begun receiving calls from families requestingassistance. We can only accomplish our goal with your help.

Excerpt from Dr. Charles Dunnings Letter to Churches and Businesses.Deadline for gifts is December 19th. The Jericho Toy Barrel is located in the preschoolwing.

LOTTIE MOON CHRISTMAS OFFERINGWLBCs Goal $20,000

2010 Week of Prayer, November 28 - December 5, 2010

May the peoples praise You, O God; may all the peoples praise you(Psalm 67:3, NIV).Its a beautiful vision: People who speak Kirmanjki and Kabyle, Thai andTatar, and use sign language in Czechall knowing and praising God. Itsa vision that comes closer to being realized every year as Christians seekunreached people groups to tell them the story of Jesus.Southern Baptists have followed Gods lead to focus attention on bringing

all the worlds peoples to Him. And God has responded to the faithfulness of His people.There is much to celebrate!Are we there yet? Not yet.But for the first time in history, we can identify the people groups that remain untouched by

the Gospel. We can get there in our generation! But that last part of the journey may be thehardest. It will take all of usour churches, our missionaries, our national partners, our GreatCommission partners.

Southern Baptists must continue to increase their giving to support missionaries through theLottie Moon Christmas Offering. They must pray strategically. And they must own the GreatCommission as never before to see that all peoples know Him.

T.C. Miller Elementary School

Christmas Shop

WMU is partnering with T. C. Miller to help with their

Christmas Shop.

Unfortunately the room where T. C. Miller stored the items

for sale, had a water leak and everything had to be thrown

out. They are in great need of anything that will help with

their Christmas Shop.

The Christmas Shop provides elementary school children the opportunity to purchaseChristmas gifts for each member of their family for minimum cost. For pennies this

shop makes the children feel good at Christmas time by being able to purchase small

gifts with their own money.

What we are looking for is the perfect guilt free reason to RE-GIFT!

These gifts need to be in original containers and preferably new items.

Looking for trinket boxes, candy dishes, candles, knick-knacks, body washes, lotions,

stationary sets, jewelry, childrens toys, stuffed animals, something for dad; thingsthat you may not have a use for.

Their SALE begins on December 18, please have your donations to WLBC by December

15, Wednesday.
