5PM COMBINED EVENING WORSHIP
SERVICES AT GRACE CRC:
TONIGHT:
will be led by Calvary CRC.
We look forward to
celebrating Lord’s Supper in the evening service on November 20th.
The psalmist reminds us, “Teach us to
number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” Ps. 90:12. Time is life
and how you spend it. Too often we hear that our days, weeks, and months are
full to capacity. But we can change; we can manage our time instead of it
managing us. How? By setting goals and priorities. If necessary, find a space
of a day or so to think about where you have been and where you think you ought
to go. Just spending time with God each day will help in our busy agendas.
Time is our ally, not our enemy.
Sunday November 6 – CRWRC World Hunger:
This year’s CRWRC campaign reminds us that what we want and what we commit to do
are two different things. Commitment-wholehearted and prayerful-is a conscious
decision. While we might all want hunger to end, we also need to make a
commitment to be part of the solution. CRWRC joins groups who are improving
farming techniques, teaching adult literacy, providing small loans to business
people, and taking other steps to find long-term solutions to poverty.
