FAREWELL FOR NOW

As many of you know, Larry and Evelyn Moore have officially moved to Lubbock to be a little closer to their children. Our congregation is so grateful to the Moores for the many years of faithful service they gave to us. Evelyn was a wonderful blessing to our children’s Bible class program and a helper we could count on in so many other areas. Larry faithfully served us as an elder for many years and his counsel was always a big help. We will miss this godly couple, but we know God has some exciting opportunities for them in their new home! God bless y’all!

 In visiting those in need.

 In maintaining our lawn and shrubs.

 Please see Cary Miller.

EEM Offering

We thank the brethren at Highland Lakes for their generosity in the annual contribution for Eastern European Missions. The initial count from Sunday was $3,355, which will undoubtedly grow from additional gifts still coming in. When you consider that $5 can equip a student and $1,000 can equip an entire school with Bibles and related materials, this offering is sure to have an impact for Christ!

Well done, church!

BEAUTIFUL FOOTNOTES
Our congregation has long supported efforts to share God’s word with people seeking their creator. For many years we have supported the efforts of EASTERN EUROPEAN MISSIONS with a yearly contribution of support. Each year as EEM seeks to fundraise to support their efforts, we have taken an opportunity to increase awareness of this work and to give the congregation opportunity to individually support prayerfully and if desired by additional financial contributions. On Sunday, September 16th, a special collection will be taken for EEM. Contributions should be earmarked “EEM”. Prayerfully consider your support.
For the elders, Ken D
FOR FREEDOM (Galatians 5:1) Jesus came to set the captives of this world free (Luke 4:18), and those He has redeemed have been charged to join Him in that mission (Matt. 28:19). God continues to open doors and provide opportunities to join him on His mission as we print and distribute Bibles in 30 countries in over 20 languages. We invite you and your church to join our MDS campaign to share God’s Word and His liberating power!
After the fall of the Soviet Union and the lifting of the Iron Curtain, Eastern Europeans jubilantly celebrated the political freedom they had long been denied. But few have realized the true freedom that comes from knowing God’s Word. Since 1961 EEM has been delivering the Bible and this year we continue to have an opportunity to share true freedom only experienced through knowing Jesus.
Thank you for your support as we begin our 2018 Million Dollar Sunday (MDS) annual fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $2.4 Million. Our Million Dollar Sunday campaign provides funding for Bibles and Bible-based materials, free to all. Your financial partnership in this campaign will transform lives as freedom in Christ and His love is proclaimed! Donation of $5 provides individual biblical book or bible and $1000 provides an entire school with biblical materials. Tens of thousands of biblical books and Bibles are planned to be delivered to Poland, Serbia, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Serbia. For Freedom, Give God’s Word!
