Sermon Text: Revelation 21:1-6
Sermon Title: "Anew"
|
|
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
“See, the home of God is among mortals.
He will dwell with them;
they will be his peoples,
and God himself will be with them;
4 he will wipe every tear from their eyes.
Death will be no more;
mourning and crying and pain will be no more,
for the first things have passed away.”
5 And the one who was seated on the throne said, “See, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.” 6 Then he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life.

Praise & Worship
Prelude: “Let There be Glory and Honor and Praises” arr. by Mark Hayes
Opening Hymn: “We Are Standing On Holy Ground"
We are standing on holy ground
And I know that there are angels
All around
Let us praise Jesus now
We are standing in his presence
On holy ground.

Closing Hymn: “For All The Saints” #637 (v1,5)
1 For all the saints, who from their labors rest,
who thee by faith before the world confessed,
thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest.
Alleluia, alleluia!
5 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,
through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost:
Alleluia, alleluia!

The shelter has a year-round
list of needs that are always appreciated!
They're especially short on men's deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors & socks. Food items: canned meats, #10-size canned fruits/vegetables & applesauce.
Please sit your donations under the shelter, next to FCC's parking lot,
at the set of double doors with a mailbox.
Proverbs 31:8-9
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy.

First Christian Family,
With thankful hearts, we welcome November!
We have a couple of tremendous opportunities to continue to support our neighbors via our holiday meal distributions and Christmas event!
Mark your calendars for November 20th and December 18th. These will be community events where we distribute holiday meals. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Pastor David or Paul! If you would like to give donations towards the feast meal, look for our donation envelopes on the welcome table in the lobby or visit our website and click the donate tab!
Also, be on the lookout in December for our Angel tree, as we hope to fulfill the Christmas lists of 25 children!!
We continue to be grateful for all of your support and prayers! Please continue to bring your peanut butter and jelly. Share this good news of the gospel with your friends and coworkers. As we continue to put faith in action, through the practice of shared abundance, with our neighbors in Winston Salem!
Peace and continued shared abundance,
Rev. David Harrison Jr. and Paul Gillespie #sharedabundance #hungersucks
A special word of thanks to all of our volunteers!

Christian Action Ministry
My Friends! For several years now, I have been searching each month for a different way to emphasize there are people in Winston-Salem and all of Forsyth County who do not have enough food on their tables for themselves or their families to eat. No matter what I have said or how I’ve said it, you have responded overwhelmingly and I thank you sincerely.
Crisis Control Ministry knew this fact way back in 1974. They contacted churches, ministers and congregations and told them their help was needed. First Christian Church, 2320 Country Club Road, was one of the early responders and has continued to be a strong supporter both financially and by food gifts since that time.
Crisis Control Ministry has selected flour, sugar and other baking supplies for the month of November. The upcoming holidays increase the need. These items can bring joy to a household by having the smell of cookies baking in the oven all through the house. What about a favorite pound cake for dessert and to share with a neighbor. No, I don’t have to tell you the need remains because you have been knowing it a very long time and responding to it.
In November we celebrate Thanksgiving.
I thank you for being the type of congregation who is willing to share what you have with so many others. I ask God’s blessings on all of you this Thanksgiving season!
