Only 1 week left ! That's right, you only have until November

22nd to fill those shoeboxes and bring them back to church. A

small shoebox can have a big impact. What goes into the box is

fun, but what comes out of it is eternal. Be a part of changing

children's lives all over the world in Jesus' Name through the

power of a simple gift with Operation Christmas Child. See

Debbie Hausher if you have any questions.

Reba Fichthorn sends her thanks and lover for her many beautiful Birthday cards that you sent to her on her 107th Birthday! She enjoyed reading every one and will continue to enjoy re-reading them during the year. Thank you again for your kindness. With Love & Thanks, Reba

PSALM 24 1 The earth is the Lord's and all that is in it, the world, and those who

live in it; 2 for he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the

rivers. 3 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand

in his holy place? 4 Those who have clean hands and pure hearts, who

do not lift up their souls to what is false, and do not swear deceitfully.

5 They will receive blessing from the Lord, and vindication from the

God of their salvation. 6 Such is the company of those who seek him,

who seek the face of the God of Jacob. 7 Lift up your heads, O gates!

and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in.

8 Who is the King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord,

mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O

ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in. 10 Who is this

King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory.

Matthew 25:14-29 14 "Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and

entrusted his property to them. 15 To one he gave five talents of money, to

another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability.

Then he went on his journey.16 The man who had received the five talents went

at once and put his money to work and gained five more. 17 So also, the one

with the two talents gained two more. 18 But the man who had received the one

talent went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money. 19 "After a

long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.

20 The man who had received the five talents brought the other five. 'Master,'

he said, 'you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.' 21

"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been

faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and

share your master's happiness!' 22 "The man with the two talents also came.

'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two

more.' 23 "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have

been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come

and share your master's happiness!' 24 "Then the man who had received the one

talent came. 'Master,' he said, 'I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where

you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 So I

was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, here is what

belongs to you.' 26 "His master replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered

seed? 27 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the

bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest. 28

" 'Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents.29 For

everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever

does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
