Day of Prayer for Our Country-As you know, Tuesday, November 3rd is Election Day. On that day
from 6AM—8PM, our sanctuary will be open for you to come and pray for our country. We will have prayer guides available for you. I believe we can all agree that no matter who is elected, our country needs prayer. Lottie Moon Christmas Offering is an annual offering collected by believers to support international missions. It is a valuable part of Southern Baptist’s 175 year history of reaching the nations with the gospel. We have the honor of having a missionary family, that serves with our IMB in South Asia, that will be sharing and preaching on November 8th in our worship service. The week of November 29th is the official week of prayer for Lottie Moon. Start praying now how God might use you to bring the gospel to the nations through prayer, giving, or going, or all three. Love y’all, Bro. Jerry
