In His Image Newsletter ~ November 2013
An email communication of First Church of the Nazarene of Pasadena
~~~~~~~
Shout to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with joy; come before him with singing. Know that the Lord is God. He made us, and we belong to him; we are his people, the sheep he tends. Come into his city with songs of thanksgiving and into his courtyards with songs of praise. Thank him and praise his name. The Lord is good. His love is forever, and his loyalty goes on and on.(Psalm 100 (New Century Version))
This month many will come together for a time of praise and thanksgiving. I would encourage you to do the same. No matter what is going on in your life, find at least one thing for which to give thanks and praise to God our Father and Creator. He is worthy of all our praise.
Beginning, Sunday, November 3, Be a Star for Hope House will be available. For the past several years, PazNaz’s In His Image ministry has sponsored the teens who live at Hope House. Hope House is a home for teens who have moderate to severe special needs. Be a Star provides an opportunity to bless one of these teens with a Christmas present. Come by room 123 on Sundays to pick out a star with the name and wish list of the teen. Most items are around $20-$30 dollars. Purchase the gift and either bring it back to PazNaz Special Needs Ministries by December 8, or come on December 14 to Hope House for a Christmas sing-along. See below for more information on this great event.
I would also like to extend the invitation to anyone who has a prayer need or request. Please email either myself or my assistant Leslie. We would love to be in prayer for you. If you desire to have the request passed along we will also do this. You can email either jkeith@paznaz.org or lesliemoreno@paznaz.org.
I wish you and your family a very blessed Thanksgiving Season.
