I would like to start out this month with a story. As the old man walked
the beach at dawn, he noticed a young man ahead of him picking up
starfish and flinging them into the sea. Finally catching up with the youth,
he asked him why he was doing this. The answer was that the stranded
starfish would die if left until the morning sun. "But the beach goes on
for miles and there are millions of starfish," countered the other "How
can your effort make any difference?" The young man looked at the star-
fish in his hand and then threw it to safety in the waves. "It makes a dif-
ference to this one," he said. Each of us are called to little tasks that can
make a big difference in this world. What is God calling you too? Are
you giving thanks to God for all the blessings he is giving you? Each of
us has the power to bring a glimpse of God's kingdom into other peo-
ple's lives. We also have to ability to be thankful for what God is doing
in each of our lives. What are you thankful for during this season. How
are you responding to God's call. This is a great time of year to reflect on
what God is doing. Pastor Joey
In this season of harvest and giving thanks, please remember
those who are hungry. Bring your donations of food and fill our
Food Pantry Box! Egg noodles, beef stew, and paper products
(toilet paper, paper towels, tissues) are always needed. You can
include the Savanna Food Pantry in your weekly offering too.

And remember the words of The Lord Jesus “It is more blessed
to give than to receive” Acts 20:35b
