Lottie Moon Christmas Offering National Goal: $150 Million Faith Baptist Church Goal $10,000 Mission March Sunday, December 11th During Morning Worship Service “Andrea, watch out!” I looked down to see a cobra in its classic pose, sitting in a basket, just one foot in front of me. Snake charmers in the parks, monkeys in the trees, elephants in the traffic, camels pulling heavy loads, “holy” cows, the honking of rickshaws and taxis, antiquity mingled with modernity, Hindu and Muslim prayers, beautiful women in bright-colored saris, cottage-industry markets and street vendors, tea with buffalo milk, and hot, spicy curries, Those are a few of the sights, sounds, and tastes that make India one of the most exotic places on earth. Surely it brought God great joy to create this amazing place!      India is just one of the places where God is doing amazing things. All around the world people are hearing the good news and coming to Christ in great numbers. Churches are being started. Human need is being met through thousands of believers who are using their abilities to show the love of God. Telling others about Christ is an act of worship.      Missions is not about sending, but about God revealing Himself to and through His people. You and I can join with believers around the world as we know Him!

Tips on Saving Money Water, Water Everywhere It is a necessity, but don’t waste it. Here are some tips: Wait until you have a full load for your washing machine. Don’t overload it but partial loads waste water. While your lathering up in the shower, turn the water flow down or off. When your ready to rinse turn it back up. Fill up your sink when washing the dishes then shut the water off until you are ready to rinse a bunch of dishes at once. Take care when washing your car or watering your garden. Don’t use too much water. Fix any leaky faucets and toilets that keep running. It doesn’t seem like a lot of water but believe me it adds up quickly. In one night my drippy faucet filled a large cooking pan. Imagine that every night, every day for a month. That’s a lot of water you are paying for. Family Night Supper has been cancelled until further notice.
