Finishing up with the incredible redemption of Ruth - and us, too
|
|
Sermon Title: God Our Redeemer
This Sunday, we will wrap a nice little bow on our study of Ruth. Interestingly enough, the book of Ruth is really not about Ruth; it's about God's redemptive plan. Not a big surprise given that all of scripture is a story about God's redeeming mankind. We will see the culmination of God's blessings in the son that God gave to Boaz and Ruth. Ruth 4:21-22 says, "Boaz the father of Obed,
22
Obed the father of Jesse, and Jesse the father of David." Yes, David: This family line stretches all the way to Jesus. What an incredible redemption story!

Has your child submitted a name for our lion and lamb?
|
Make sure to get a contest form for your child this Sunday so they can submit a name for MC3's new lion and lamb Children's Ministry mascots.
The submission deadline is Sunday, Dec. 1, and the winners will be announced Sunday, Dec. 8, along with prizes for the two winners.
Each envelope received will be dated and time stamped at the time received. In case of a duplicate tie, the earliest submittal will win.
Hint: If you want to pet the Lion and Lamb, you must feed them first. What do this Lion and Lamb eat? Scripture, of course! You must feed him Words from His Holy Word!
Kasen Singleton gives our unnamed lion a high-five!

Your help is needed to hold church on Sunday mornings
|
Our Gravity Ministry needs help with the set-up and tear-down necessary to hold Sunday morning services at Parkview High School.
This team starts at 8 a.m. each Sunday to set up our mobile church. Tear-down and load-out of the trailer begin immediately after service ends.
Everyone is welcome. Even if you can help carry just a single piece of equipment to the trailer, it will be a blessing for this team.
If you would like to be a part of this vital team, then please fill out the form below. And if you are already serving in this area, please take a moment and fill out this form as well, so that we can communicate better to you.

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS - Cold weather makes it tough for the homeless, and MC3 members Jered and Hope Stills are working to make things better through their Love in Deed ministry. You can help by donating socks, gloves and blankets. Bring your donations to church this Sunday and leave them in the metal tubs in the Parkview lobby.
Remember Your Loved Ones - McDonough Christian Church invites you to their annual Christmas Memorial Service Sunday, Dec. 1, at 6 p.m. This service is a lovely way to remember your loved one(s). For instructions to have your family member included in the service or to make reservations, please
email or call Rae Caggiula at 770-597-2523.

A thank you from Auburn Christian Fellowship
|
Here is an excerpt from a note of appreciation the church received from Luke Caldwell, a resident at Auburn Christian Fellowship:
"I just wanted to thank you for making it possible to do ministry here in Auburn. I have the pleasure of working with upperclassmen, specifically the juniors who I worked with last year as sophomores. It has been so cool seeing them take a larger role in our community. ... I hope you know how much your investment means to me and the students here. God is really doing incredible things and it is because of people like you who see the possibility, move to meet our needs, and pray for us."
