Let's Remember the Zodhiates

Kathie's birthday is Thursday, November 7. Please bless her by sending a birthday card with a word of encouragement. Please also consider taking the time to write a note to Philip. He has not been receiving many cards or letters recently. If you don't know what to write, he enjoys receiving updates on your families and what you have been doing and learning. Continue to pray for the Zodhiates. The civil trial in Vermont continues to progress and begins December 2.

When Jesus Comes: "Know Yourself"

Hope that comes in Jesus I was really blessed on Sunday with the sense of God’s presence and the pursuit of the same among you who were there. Our lives exist with lots of opportunities to be downcast and downhearted at every turn, and yet we have this never-ending source of encouragement, strength, and hope that comes in God’s presence and by His Spirit.
