Today’s Scripture: “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious
standard. Yet God, with underserved kindness, declares that we are righteous . He
did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty of our sins.”
(Romans 3:23-24).
Baby Dedication: If you have a baby to be dedicated to the Lord this morning,
please give Pastor Ted a note when you arrive that includes the baby’s name and
the names of the parents that are present. The Pastor, Elders, and congregation
will pray over babies immediately after the song service this morning.
Blessing Our Children: Immediately following the dedication of babies, Pastor
Ted will call all of our children forward from newborn through 6th grade to be
prayed for by Pastor Ted, our Elders and our congregation.
Thanksgiving Celebration: This Thursday, November 24th, is a day set aside to
be thankful. In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an
autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving
celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving
were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn’t until 1863, in the
midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national
Thanksgiving Day to be held each November. Take time to go for a walk, hike, or
get some time with friends and/or family members to express your thankfulness.
Turkey Bowl: This Thursday morning from 8:45 to 11:00 AM, our high school
group is inviting you to join with them for a fun and informal football game at
Nick Dial’s house, 4065 Scotch Pine Drive. Ladies, this is a great way to get the
boys and men out of the house on Thanksgiving morning, and for the guys to get
some exercise before a Thanksgiving meal. For more information call Nick Dial
at (719) 502-5328.
Tim Stone and Team on Missions Trip Today: Several of our members are
gone to New Mexico today to distribute turkeys, blankets, toys and 14 cords of
wood to needy families to supplement their Thanksgiving. Thank you, on their
behalf, to all of you who purchased and donated turkeys for this expression of
God’s love and kindness.
Coats, hats, gloves and shoes: Jo Wood serves a Medicaid community that has
asked her if she might be able to accumulate some coats, hats, gloves, and shoes
for men. All items can be second hand. This group has some mentally unstable
people. Let’s all pitch-in on this. Bring any items you can

give to the give-away table at the bottom of the north stairwell and leave
them there. Jo will deliver them on November 28th. On the behalf of the least
of these our brethren, thank you!
Connection Cards: If you are new to St. James and do not receive our e-mails,
please fill out a Connection Card and place it in an offering box.
Wednesday Night Prayer and Bible Study: This Wednesday night, prior to
Thanksgiving, we will have prayer at 6:00 and Bible Study at 7:00, as usual. If
you have family or friends coming into town for Thanksgiving, consider
bringing them to Bible Study with you. It’s one hour, from 7:00 to 8:00, and
will be a great time of encouragement in the Word.
A Note From One Of Our Missionaries:
Hello St. James Church Family,
My time here in the Cook Islands is coming to an end. I have, in the last
month, been playing in the International Rugby 7's Tournament, witnessing
to those in darkness, helping with kids camps, coaching young boys and
working to maintain our missions facilities.
I am blessed by His abundant love and care. Thank you all for the care you
have shared through prayers, finances and care packages.
My plans for this month, before I leave for our missions trip to Myanmar, are;
to fundraise and put in order all my responsibilities so I will finish well. I also
plan on finishing a coaching course that I have been working on throughout
this year.
I ask you to pray for favor as I have an opportunity to help with a pioneering
project in Switzerland. Our desire is to start a discipleship program in Zurich.
Thank you all so much for your prayers and love. May your joy be made full in
the love and voice of our Heavenly Father. May the Prince of Peace, and our
everlasting Father's goodness consume you all in His perfect Glory.
God bless you all,
Jess Roberson
