This week’s newsletter highlights Sunday’s message, “Paul’s Example: The Marks of a Spiritual Father,” based on 1 Corinthians 4:14–21. The congregation is invited to explore the characteristics of a good spiritual father and what it means to provide godly leadership and encouragement.

Several important church announcements are included. On Sunday, Nov. 8th, the church will commission the North Carolina Reach Global Team following worship, with a freewill donation opportunity. The Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child project continues, with shoeboxes available for pickup and completed boxes due Nov. 22nd.

There is a date change for “Soup with the Shepher,” scheduled for Nov. 15th. Pastor Troy will host a meal for anyone interested in learning more about The Log Church and its ministries. Reservations are required because space is limited to 12 people.
