WERE HAVING A BABY SHOWER!

It is speculated that the tradition of having a baby shower for an expectant mother was started by a German immigrant, Franz Shauer, in the 18th century. He was a silversmith and merchant who encouraged gift-giving amongst the upper-classes of New York. With that said, everyone is invited to come to the baby shower for Jai & Val Alvarez on Sunday, December 6. It will be held here in the Fellowship Hall after the Sunday Service.

The Pastors Message

by Pastor Hector de Guzman

THANKSGIVING
Christians have a greater blessing in the opportunity to give thanks to God. Whether people in this world want to recognize it or not, everything they own is given to them by the Lord and there is going to be a day when all will give an accounting. Christians are thankful for God's saving grace. Ephesians 2:8-10 says, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. By grace alone, through faith alone, to God be the glory.'" The Bible teaches that everything Christians have comes by grace. "Grace" (charis) here affects man's sinfulness. It not only brings forgiveness to repentant sinners, but also joy from the Holy Spirit and heartfelt thankfulness to the Lord Jesus. This grace changes repentant sinners into new creations without destroying their individuality. Those who live on this earth were marked by sin that came down to them as a curse from the time of Adam. It was decided and agreed upon by God the Father, Christ His Son and the Holy Spirit that Jesus would come to earth and redeem sinful mankind from willful sin. Christians have been saved by grace and they are sustained only by the grace of God. The precious children of God feast from the manna of God's Word daily, and there will be that day when all who have Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord will be eating at that greatest Thanksgiving feast, the "Marriage Supper of the Lamb of God." What a day that will be! Does your life Express God's Grace?

Begin by thanking Him for some little thing, and then go on, day by day, adding to your subjects of praise; thus you will find their numbers grow wonderfully; and, in the same proportion, will your subjects of murmuring and complaining diminish, until you see in everything some cause for thanksgiving.
