HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

The Rockies loss of the World Series aside, don't you love this time of year? I can't tell you how much our family enjoys Thanksgiving and how much we're looking forward to this year together. It isn't that this past year has been rosey for all of us. There has been some sadness, disappointment, struggles, and losses. However, like the people who came over on the ships and celebrated the 1st Thanksgiving, the journey may have been harsh, but we can still be grateful that we have arrived here and are enjoying the blessings of the One who holds our future.

Our church family has been through quite a year together and it's time that we step back and remember the goodness of the Lord. Therefore, we will be having a special service on November 18th that will be totally given to worship, thanksgiving and prayer. I trust that you have been listening to the links that I sent you and are becoming familiar with the two songs. DON'T FORGET OUR TWO REHEARSALS ON NOVEMBER 6 AND NOVEMBER 13.

COMMUNITY NEWS & PRAYER REQUESTS

Pray for Scott and Shelly Myers as they have just received news that his grandmother is passing away. She is his mother's mom and was put on life support just this past week and will be removed by the end of today. Please pray for them as they travel to Kansas for her funeral. This is the 2nd grandparent that they have lost in the past month.

Congratulations to Michael and Cathy Hanson (violinist & violist) on the birth of their daughter, Phoebe Isabella Hanson born November 1st and weighing in at 7 lbs. 11 oz. We join in celebrating this new life!!

Welcome to two new members of our vocal team!! Trish Taulbee (who has been part of the 605) and John Bender.
We are continuing to grow as a Worship Arts community. I don't blame people for wanting to be part of our team....you are a special group of people! They will be joining us for our November 18th Sunday.

Tawni Martinez has finally arrived and has been living here for the past month along with their 3 kitties: Zoe, Franky & Rocky. Her husband, Tony, also finally arrived on November 2nd, so the move is complete.

Continue to pray for Jonathan and Christine Corbett. It seems that the Lord has closed the door to the police department in California and he is no longer being considered for a position there. Since they have been going through this process for six months, they are obviously very disappointed. Please pray that they will be open to God's purposes and leading.
