From the Pastor Let me begin this week just by saying, “THANK YOU!”

Your acts of kindness, notes of encouragement, cards,

and gifts have been amazing. I definitely feel appreciated by

each of you. It is an honor and tremendous blessing to be

pastor at Immanuel Baptist Church. You have shown

kindness to my family as well, something a husband and

father always notices. So, thank you again.

I would like to thank Kevin Little in advance for teaching Wednesdays,

November 8 and 15th. He has been working on presentations of “Creation”

& “The Flood” which he will share on those nights at 6:30. I hope you will

come and take part! Also, thank you to Josh for taking care of preaching on

November 12. Both men are preparing to share what the Lord has revealed to

each of them. Bring your family and friends!

We will begin a new series this Sunday, “Habakkuk: Strong Faith for Confusing

Times.” This message is very relative for our times and will encourage us to

think about the goodness of our Heavenly Father. This series will be presented

in morning and evening services in order to finish before all of our holiday

festivities.

As we enter this season of thanksgiving, I hope you will spend some time

thanking the Lord for all He has done, is doing, and promises to do. He is busy

and active all around us. May we notice, answer His calling, rejoice, and be

thankful for His invitation to be involved!

Thank you! Bro. Tommy
