GATHER GROW GIVE GO
october 2026
No One Knows
“In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also” John 14:2-3 (ESV)
There are many things we know for sure when it comes to scripture, the gospel, and the God we worship and serve. One of the most important things we know about our Lord is that after He ascended into Heaven he promised to go and prepare a place for those who follow Him. Many times though we look around and wonder “When Lord?”
Scripture tells us no one knows the hour or day that Jesus will return, except the Father. So what should we do with the time we have until His return or until the day of our homegoing? We should continue to love one another. We must continue to love God with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength. And we should continue to move the gospel forward to all nations and peoples so that God’s mission will be accomplished.
We look forward to the coming again of the Savior!
In His Service,
Pastor Jared

Don’t Give Up
Written by Vi Roop
When trials seem to get you down,
Call on Jesus and please don’t frown.
He will be with you all the time,
And soon you will see that all will be fine!
Keep a smile upon your face,
Only then will you see God’s grace.
Though storm clouds may be near,
There’s always someone to bring you cheer!
So don’t give up when hard times come,
And always remember where you came from.
Plant your roots deep in the Savior’s love,
Its then your answers will come from above.
Your Jesus is just a prayer away,
So why not talk with Him today.
Tell Him all your cares and woes,
And don’t be surprised that He already knows!
OWLS’ Gathering
What a wonderful way to celebrate our 1st back to OWLS Gathering.
Pot luck is always a favorite and it was delicious!
Tables were beautifully decorated by Ellen and the kitchen committee had everything ready for the guests! Thanks Ellen, Liz and Rachel.
Cheryl and Dan Blessed us with so many wonderful songs and laughter too! Second Time Around! Wonderful friends and entertainers! Thank you both!
We missed those who weren’t able to be with us today and welcomed a new guest. God is so good to us! Thanks to everyone who helped clean up! Till next time.
Blessings, Nancy
