A small Church, In a small Town, Serving a Big GOD.

The Lighthouse Volume 16 Issue 11 November 2015

North Anderson Baptist Church

God’s Revelation to North Anderson Baptist is…”To honor and glorify God through worship, prayer, teaching, community service and mission opportunities.”

From Your Pastor… Christmas is such a holy and joyful time! The

scriptures talk about the birth of Jesus includ-

ing His mother’s experience in finding out that

she was to give birth to the Son of God, the

Messiah, His actual birth, the angel’s procla-

mation of the coming of the Son of God to the

city of David, the shepherd’s experience, the

travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem where Mary would give birth to her first born Son in

a stable and the manger where she would lay the Creator of the universe. We also are

told of the Magi who came from far off to pay homage to the King of the Jews and the

evil king who would kill innocent baby boys with the hope of killing the revival king,

born in Bethlehem. The Old Testament portion of the Bible tells of

the many prophecies of the coming of the Messiah, the Anointed

One and through the messages we will see many of them.

Wow! Christmas time is filled with memories of the this great event

in the history of this world and celebrations about such a wonderful

time for believers in Jesus Christ, God’s beloved Son.

Are you ready to celebrate your King? We will once again experience worship through

the “Advent Wreath,” asking families or individuals to light the candles on the wreath

to begin the worship services. The theme of each week will be another aspect of the

Advent of Jesus Christ through lighting the can-

dles of: Hope, Peace, Joy, Love and finally the

Christ Candle on Christmas Eve. Don’t forget the

wonderful service we have on Christmas Eve

which begins at 11pm December 24th.

Come and share the celebration of the birth of our

Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. When you come

bring a neighbor, a friend or a family member, each

of you will be blessed and touch by the Spirit of

God.

From your Director of Administration & Education…

I am writing this note the first of September because it is around this time of year that

North Anderson Baptist Church receives a certificate of appreciation from the International

Mission Board for our giving to the annual Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.

Lottie Moon was a single woman, 4 feet 3 inches, from Virginia appointed to share the

gospel in China. She was 33 when she left for China and served there close to 40 years.

She would often plead for more money and more resources to help share the gospel with

the lost in China. On December 24, 1912 on her way to America at the age of 72 Lottie

Moon passed away. We as Southern Baptist honor the memory of Lottie and her service

for Christ by the annual Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.

This offering provides the resources needed for 4,700 Southern Baptist missionaries to live

and serve overseas, evangelizing the unreached peoples of the earth. All of the collection

goes to missionaries overseas and not for administrative cost.

In 2010, 2011, and 2012 North Anderson Baptist Church meet the Carterville Challenge.

The Carterville Challenge is giving a dollar amount of between $25 - $49 dollars per cap-

ita. This per capita amount is based on average Sunday morning worship attendance. We

gave $36, $37 and $43 dollars respectively those years. In 2013 we went up to the Teng-

chow Challenge and gave $52 dollars. This past year in 2014 North Anderson also meet

the Tengchow Challenge and gave $62 dollars for a total of $12,162 dollars to the Lottie

Moon Christmas Offering.

I would like to thank everyone who has given to this offering, your gifts help with sharing

Christ around the world. I would like to encourage you to continue to give to this valuable

offering and even though it is not December yet please start thinking about how much you

would like to give.

An Open Letter So, you are in your late teens or early 20’s. Now what? You are making some of life’s major

decisions that will have long term impacts:

What career path will you take?

What friendships will you make?

Who will you marry?

Will I marry?

What about money?

The potential to make choices similar to your peers and follow the trends of our culture are

enormous. But, are these the best choices for you? Many of your peers will make choices

that lead to deepening debt, relationship issues, possible addiction issues and a generally un-

fulfilled life.

Your life can be different. Come fellowship and study God’s Word with us as we seek to

learn how to use Biblical principles to lay a solid foundation for the future. God’s plan is to

prosper you, not harm you, to give you a hope and a future. (Jer 29:11) But, the catch is,

you have to do it His way. See you Sundays at 5 pm. Tim Danyels, Lead Teacher

Bible Study – Food – Fellowship Sundays at 5 pm

WEDNESDAY NGHT SUPPER’S WILL RESUME JANUARY 6, 2016 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Very Special “Thank You” to all who responded to our need for set-up,

take down and kitchen clean-up for the 1st Wednesday Night Suppers. We

still have a need for more of you to volunteer in this great ministry. The

purchasers and preparers are Robin George, Nancy Danyels, Kellie Gilles-

pie, Paula Holland and Diana Beall. If we get committed individuals and

serve God while serving others. Please pray that God will lead you and con-

tact, Nancy, Robin or Diana Beall.

Special Note… We are trying to make things easier for you by not requiring a

reservation for supper, but because of the uncertain numbers in attendance we

are only going to be preparing for approximately 65-75 people and serve until the

food runs out.

In Flanders Fields

by John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly.

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow

Loved, and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.
