Weekly Letter from Pastor Dan - November 5
“Together we pursue Jesus, love our community, and live out His mission to reach the world.” Dear Mercer Creek Family, With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we have some wonderful opportunities to bless our community in the weeks ahead! First, please consider signing up for a Red Kettle shift. Every shift helps us raise more money to distribute to individuals and families in our community who need it most. Thank you for helping us love our neighbors in such a practical way! Second, please help us spread the word about our upcoming Turkey Dinner Giveaway on Sunday, November 15, at 2:00 p.m. If you or someone you know could benefit from one of these meals, we would love the opportunity to bless you! Please share this with friends, family, and neighbors who may need a little extra help this Thanksgiving. Meals will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, and we anticipate running out, so please plan accordingly. November 15 is also the date of our Financial Forum. You’ll find the financial reports from our previous fiscal year included in this email. If you’d like to learn more about how we steward the resources God has entrusted to us, or if you have questions about our church finances, I encourage you to join us at 9:35 a.m. in the gym, immediately following our first service. Finally, this weekend, Paul Stoeckl continues our The Real Thing series with a message from 1 John 4:7–21. We’ll be exploring what it means to live in the love of God and love one another. It should be a great weekend, and I hope to see you there! Serving with you, Dan Arnold
