Dear Fourth Church,

For your edification today, Jude 1:20–21 — "But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life."

Just a few notes for this week:

  • The Young Adult ministry heads to Camp Wabanna on the Chesapeake Bay this weekend for a fall retreat with teaching on the 10 Commandments. Let's keep them in our prayers.


  • Lastly, the deadline to nominate recipients for Thanksgiving bags is Monday, November 1. Seize the opportunity to share the love of Christ this holiday. See details below.
