There are some great opportunities coming up and available to get involved in this fall! Check them out to see how you might be able to participate. Invite friends and neighbors or volunteer your time to help at an event. We can all do a little bit to make our community brighter as we shine the light of Jesus on those around us! 

Treehouse Treasures

Our church family is growing!  Many babies have come and will be coming in the next few weeks/months.  We would love to bless our new moms with a gift bag filled with newborn items (diapers, wipes, baby bath items, onesies, gowns, or swaddlers).  Amy Prebil organizes this and has set up a Treasure Chest back in our nursery area to accept item donations.



BLESSING TREE NOMINATIONS

This Christmas we want to be a blessing to those in our church family that financially might not be able to afford gifts this year.  If you or someone you know from our congregation could use some gifts this Christmas, please complete a form (found at the Hospitality Booth) and place in the offering or Connection Box.  We will take nominations through NOVEMBER 9th.

 

Community Opportunity

Elmbrook Church has started a program called "Walking School Bus".  The purpose is to assist Whittier students in getting to school on time and safely.  There are three starting locations, all within a mile of Whittier.  Volunteers meet there by 7:50 am and walk the students to school.  If you would like to be involved, please contact Jason Knapp at jknapp@elmbrook.org

Trust in The Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in The Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to The Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:3-5

Sometimes I feel like there is just too much fussing in this world - myself included. Every little thing can cause somebody to fuss about it. 

God has been reminding me to just love people. That's all He wants. I don't need to preach at people every chance I get or force Jesus on others, no matter how badly they may need Him. I don't need to point out the error of anyone else's ways - that's God's job. 

By simply loving others, I am introducing others to Jesus - through me. God is love and when we love others, God is revealed to them. I can lead by example instead of harsh words. 

Lord, give me Your love for those around me so I can see them through Your eyes.
