Pastor’s Corner
Creekers are you staying dry from all of this wonderful, beautiful rain?? Isn’t it great!! Praise the Lord….’Lord, send the rain”
HEY, the baptismal waters will be stirring on Sunday Nov 30th & Dec 7th. Would you like to follow Jesus in baptism along with those that will be baptized on those Sundays? LET ME KNOW ASAP!!!
ALSO, do you play an instrument or carry a tune and would like to join the worship band? Let Jake know soon, we are always looking to add new vocalists & instrumentalists.
The Men & Women’s Bible studies are on a 2 week break right now, we will join back together in December. Stay tuned in for that announcement.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING THIS WEEK!!!!!
3 LOCAL OUTREACH NEEDS currently ongoing::
(1) Tiffany Fader has started collecting non-perisable foods to distribute to those in our church family that might be affected by what is happening economically in our country right now. You can donate by placing food in the container in the lobby or donating online/in person and writing: FOOD PANTRY in the memo.
(2) Christine Bentley is asking for donations of ‘clear’ backpacks for the Title 1 school that she teaches in. 2 years ago, Creekers donated 58 backpacks for children. We will be accepting them at the church over the next few weeks. We will have a donation tub in the lobby.
(3) Agape Ranch Christmas giving tree. You can pick out an ornament or 2 to purchase gifts for children in foster/adoptive care. The tree is in the lobby & someone will be there to help answer questions or to assist you in picking.
Be blessed today….experience His presence, & let’s grow as Disciples!!!

**we still have not yet reached our fundraising goal for the new black top, we are a little over 1/3rd of the way. Would you be willing to support this great addition to our facilities? The goals was for the equivalent of 200 people giving $200 (one time or spread out) to reach the goal (or whatever amount the Lord leads you to give). Praise the Lord for those that have and are currently giving to this fund.
Did you know that we have ‘text to give’? You can text your tithe (first 10% of your income) & offering amounts to 361-273-2699 along with a word ‘give’ to be prompted how much you would like to give. You can also designate where you want your giving to go (general fund, certain ministries, etc.). You can also set up recurring gives by typing words like: weekly, biweekly, monthly after the dollar amount.
