Welcome to Guthrie Grove Church of God. We are glad that you are here, and pray that your faith will be strengthened as a result of our worship today. This time of year (And always), let's be reminded that all good gifts we enjoy are from God, the ultimate and perfect giver.

(Psalm 136:1-3, 26)
(L) O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endures for ever.
(C) O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endures for ever.
(L) O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endures for ever.
(C) O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endures for ever.
Give Thanks:
Give thanks with a grateful heart, give thanks to the Holy One,
give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ His Son. (Repeat)
And now let the weak say, "I am strong,"
let the poor say, "I am rich
becauseof what the Lord has done for us!" (Repeat)
Give thanks with a grateful heart, give thanks to the Holy One,
give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ His Son (Repeat)
Give thanks. Give thanks.

From the Mailbag:
"Dear church family, thank you for your prayers, calls and cards during my treatments and my preparation time for surgery. It has been a long and difficult road. God has been with us and has again blessed us. I am currently recuperating from surgery done on Oct 23rd, and am looking forward to returning to church when I am feeling better. Thanks also for the flower & cards sent to me while I was in the hospital. Please continue to pray for me during my recovery process." Love in Christ, Joe Pack

Thanks to those who prepared breakfast, as well as those who attended yesterday's Men's Fellowship. As always, the food & fellowship was fantastic.

Thanks to those who helped with the Berean Yard Sale.
