WMU: Rita Bilbo When you visit my home you will see that in most rooms there are scriptures, crosses, or lyrics to songs that adorn my walls or counters making reference to our Lord and King. This month we celebrate Thanksgiving. I am so thankful when I think of all the Lord has done for me and my family. In the good times, the bad times, the sad times, and the waiting times, we know that the Lord is God and is good and is sovereign. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18 it says, “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” I remember the lyrics to a song that said, “Thank you Lord for saving my soul, thank you Lord for making me whole, thank you Lord for giving to me; Thy great salvation so rich and, full and free.” As you gather for your Thanksgiving Day with family and friends, remember Whose you are, and thank our Lord and Savior (Psalm 139). Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless you. Rita This month our congregations will be busy with activities around Thanksgiving celebration. The Women’s Day of Prayer will be held on Monday, November 4, 10:30 a.m. at the Lee Conference Center. Come, let us join in prayer with women around the world. Prayer changes things. Prayer is precious to God. Our prayers are ever before the Throne of God. Read Revelation 8:3-5. Come be a part of this gathering. We will be serving a lunch of soups and sandwiches. If you like, bring a favorite dessert. See you there!

We’re really here for Food!Grandma stuffed the turkey, then the turkey sure stuffed us.Brussel sprouts, turnips, and her fresh cut asparagus,Her pumpkin and apple pies made with her famous crust;Yes, Grandma stuffed the turkey, then the turkey sure stuffed us.Now Grandma has her apron on, it’s the only one she owns.Grandpa carves the turkey, till there’s no meat on the bones.Kids fighting for those drumsticks and the wishbone to make a wish,With all the commotion we just keep fillin’ up our dish.Yes, Grandma stuffed the turkey, then the turkey sure stuffed us.Now the men are up from the table, because the football game is on.The women are in the kitchen, yes talking up a storm.The kids are running wild, wrestling on the floor, the game is finally overYes, we can eat some More!Now things are always changing, but those turkeys stay the same.Our family keeps on growing, and Grandma’s glad we came.Adding chairs around the table, sometime two or three,Now with so many people, there’s no leftovers left for me!Oh, Grandma stuffed the turkey, then the turkey sure stuffed us.
