Ann Vander Wal was thankful to God to return home from
the hospital this week. We trust she can manage again on her own.
Craig Van Stryland was able to return home from the
hospital on Friday. We pray that God will be with him and his family as he
recovers from his surgery at home.
Ann Vander Wal and family would like
to thank the congregation, as well as her friends, for the prayers, visits, and
many tokens of kindness shown during Ann’s hospital stay. “We thank God
for his healing and His grace.”
Do
remember our seniors and shut ins in prayer: Tony & Henny Middag, Ann
Vander Wal,
Tilly
Biel, Lea Dykstra, Wigger Meindersma, and Herman Scholing Sr.
Remember our missionaries around the
world.

Today you will find the devotional booklet, “Are You In?” in your church mailbox. There are daily stories that you can use at your own supper table, starting today and for the next 2 weeks. We will focus on World Hunger Sunday on November 14th and have a special offering for this cause on that day.

We conclude our series on worship with the Disciples Year 2 book. We will consider session 5 as we are Sent forth to Serve (Luke 10:1-20).

Announcements
Volunteer Link
Bethel continues to be
a wonderful supporter of Volunteer Link here in Lacombe, not only
financially, but also as church with many volunteers, helping those with
needs here in our community. That being said, the needs in
Lacombe continue to rise, and the volunteers have somewhat declined. If
you have some spare time on your hands, even if it is only a half hour or
an hour a week, you would be a wonderful asset to our Volunteer Link team.
Bethel is also looking for a "church coordinator", someone to
make a few phone calls and coordinate volunteers with those in need. If either
one of these areas appeals to you please contact Herman Scholing Jr. at
403-782-2701. Thank-You

The Persecuted Church
Uzbekistan
Has imposed a massive fine on a Protestant man for
owning a Christian film. Police raided Murat Jalalov's home in Tashkent --
apparently on the instructions of the National Security Service secret police.
They confiscated 75 DVDs and CDs. The discs included the Uzbek version of
"The Jesus Film." The confiscated materials were analyzed by the
national state Religious Affairs Committee. The committee declared that the
particular film "could be used among local ethnicities for missionary
purposes" and was therefore banned. All confiscated materials were ordered
to be destroyed. Please pray for
the church in Uzbekistan. Thank the Lord for the faithfulness of the believers
and their desire to spread the Gospel in spite of their restrictions. Pray for
all those involved in church leadership and evangelization; may they be bold
and courageous, yet wise and discerning.
