Student Ministry Moment
 
There are very few things in this world that shock me, but this week I saw something that I had never seen before. This week we were finally able to have Rhett's second set of tubes put in and adenoids removed. Thank you to all that sent their prayers and thoughts. They were so appreciated!  
 
 
If you have ever had surgery, you know that you have a pre-op room, a waiting room and a recovery room. All three parts of these areas are places that waiting and anxiety comes into play for people not having the procedure. When Rhett came out of surgery we were told everything went well and were told that he was doing well in recovery. What they didn't tell us was what would happen in recovery. We knew from his last set of tubes that there would be a lot of crying and that it would take him a bit to figure out where he was. The thing we were not ready for was for how much blood would come out of our son's nose.
 
(This is the part of the story that you skip it you are squeamish)  
 
But still the one thing that shocked me was watching Rhett sneeze and seeing a blob come from his nose and watching his face as he saw his own blood for the first time. He was shocked, scared and even, I think, confused. I can't even imagine what was going through his young mind. What is happening? What did y'all do to me? As he continued to cry and try and calm dow,n I thought about how often we have those situations where we go through something in life that we need to lean on something greater than ourselves.  
 
This week we start a new series on Sunday nights called Rooted. Some people lean on each other, but in all things it is where you are rooted in life that helps you grow stronger and supports you when you are weak. I hope you will join us.

Blessings and Thank You,
John McClure
ORANGE THIS WEEK 
  
SENIOR HIGH:  
In this life, there's one thing we all have in common:
change. No matter who we are, where we come from,
or how much we run from it, change is bound to
happen in all of our lives. In this series, we'll discover
that although so many things in life are subject to
change, God isn't.

Week 2: No matter what, God is with you.


Week 3: God can change the way you see change.


JUNIOR HIGH:
A three-week series about how we can stand firm and
welcome whatever change life brings us when we're rooted
in an unchanging God.

WEEK 2: God is with you.




WEEK 3: God can change the way you see change.

Are you ready for Trunk or Treat?
 
We are hoping for and anticipating an awesome event for families to spend time with one another, a great and safe place for kids to get candy, and ways to interact with the people of our community.
 
On top of Trunk or Treating, there will be other activities and things for families to do together!
 
However, we cannot pull this off by ourselves. We need you to partner with us to make this the best Trunk or Treat to date!  We believe that with your help, we will effectively connect and engage with our community and provide a family-fun filled evening!
 
There are many ways you can get involved:
* Trunk or Treat Car
* Trunk Coordinator
* Candy Runner
* Activity Manager
* Hosts
* Raffle Station Manager
 
I hope you take a moment to pray to see how your gifts and talents can help make this a night for people to remember.
 
If you have any questions, please feel free to or call the church office 281.485.1466.  With your involvement, I'm certain that this night will be special. Start letting your friends and neighbors know and invite them!
 
Grace and Peace,
Rev. Joseph Yoo
