Thankful

     This week as we celebrate Thanksgiving, we are so grateful for all the people involved in missions at NewPointe.  Maybe you volunteered for Second Saturday Serve, Helping Hands Ministry or Go 2011.  You might have gone on a mission trip, or participated in an outreach project with your family or small group.  Many of you have donated money so others could go on a mission trip, or maybe you contributed financially to our local community outreach program or one of our partner ministries.  We know that so many of you pray for our church, our community, our country and our world.  We give thanks to God for all of you!

            

We are currently in the middle of a two-week sermon series updating the church on the Only God campaign, now marking its one year anniversary.  Ephesians 3:20 tells us that God can do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.  Sunday we heard stories of the “immeasurably more” that God has done this last year through NewPointe, things that can be explained  in only one way – God’s power at work within us.  Take some time this Thanksgiving season to thank God for the work he has done in and through you, things that you couldn’t have asked for or imagined.  As you enter the excitement and anticipation of the Christmas season, watch and pray for God to do immeasurably more than you can imagine in your life, in the lives of those you touch, and in our church, our community and our world.
