We are collecting gently used blankets for the Hicksville United Methodist Food Pantry. If you are able to donate, send blankets in by November 20th.

It seems like every time we have a Bible lesson, somehow we end up talking about using God’s strength in times we need help. This has continued to encourage me in my personal life and I realize how blessed I am to come to work each day and discuss the love of God, His strength, and His plan for each of their lives with your children. I have been thinking about this verse this week:

He will keep you strong to the end so that you will be free from all blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns.

1 Corinthians 1:8

When I focus on the fact that I can call on God for His strength at any time, I know that with His help I can overcome any obstacle I face. I am strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. This goes for you too! I hope this has encouraged you in some small way. Have a great week.       Mrs. Lively
