Grace

As I have been writing articles on prayer throughout the year, one of the thoughts that crossed through my mind was
in reference to saying grace or a table prayer. I wondered about the background of people saying grace.
I thought that this might be a good topic to reflect upon as for some, the saying of grace or the blessing of food prior to
a meal is a significant part of their prayer life.
As I did some research about the saying of grace prior to meals, it seemed like all the places that I looked or resources
I surveyed began with a verse from the Old Testament. That verse is Deuteronomy 8:10 which states:
10
You shall
eat your fill and bless the LORD your God for the good land that he has given you.
The book of Deuteronomy contains instructions for the people of Godhow they are to live and serve God. The con-
text of this verse is that it is God who has led the people to the land flowing with milk and honey (which means that it
is a good land and will produce much harvest) and as they settle here they are to eat their fill. However, the instruc-
tion within this book is that not only are they to eat their fill, but they are to bless God for the land that he has given to
them. It is a warning to the people to not forget God during times of prosperity. This verse calls the people to remem-
ber where the food they are eating ultimately came from. Throughout the rest of the Bible, you can see example of
people living out this verse. One clear example is Jesus when he was feeding the 5000 people. That story tells us that
Jesus took the little bit of food that he had looked up to heaven and blessed the bread and fish, then distributed it to all
the people.
The saying of grace may not be the most difficult thing to do, but it is a significant statement as to how we live out our
faith. The question to askdo we stop and remember where this food came from and give thanks to God that we
have daily bread? Or do we take our daily bread for granted?
The key is not how we say gracewhether you use a common table prayer (e.g. God is great, God is good. Let us
thank Him for our food. Amen. Or Come, Lord Jesus, be our Guest, and let these gifts to us be blessed. Amen)
or create your own prayer. Or whether we say the table prayer out loud as a group? Or if we say the table
prayer to ourselves? Or even whether we sing it or speak it?
The key is: Do we remember to bless God for all that he has done and give thanks for our daily bread and spe-
cifically the food that we are about to eat. Remembering to say grace is an easy way to deepen our prayer
lifefor it reminds us that all things come from God. Then it may lead us to give thanks to God for all things.
Keep on praying in the new year!

Text II Kings 5:1-14
(All Saints Sunday)
After King Solomon, the kingdom splits into two separate kingdoms (North and South). Throughout this time, God rais-
es up prophets to call people back to faithfulness. Over the next 5 Sundays, we will hear of some of the prophets during
this time. Today, we hear of the prophet Elisha who heals Naaman (a commander of the army of the king of Aram).

November 9
th
:
TextMicah 5:2-4; 6:6-8
Micah is the next prophet that we hear from. One significant theme to remember as we hear from the prophets is that
they are not fortune tellers or predictors of the future. The main role is not to tell the future, rather they are to announce
to the people the Word of God that is given to them. Micahs message is two-fold. He has oracles of judgment then fol-
lowed by oracles of hope. Both are used to call people to faithfulness.

November 16
th
:
Text Isaiah 36:1-3, 13-20; 37:1-7; 2:1-4
Isaiah is probably the most well-known of the prophets of Israel. The words we hear today proclaim that even in spite of
wars, there will come a day when the swords will be beaten into plowshares. This is meant to be a word of hope that
God will bring about peace.

November 23
rd
:
TextJeremiah 1:4-10; 7:1-11
Today, we hear of the call of Jeremiah and what is called his Temple Sermon. Jeremiah warns the people as to how they
are defaming the temple and making it a den of robbers. He calls the people to faithfulness and amendment of their ways.

November 30
th
:
TextHabakkuk 1:1-4; 2:2-4; 3:17-19
The book of Habakkuk is a series of complaints to the Lord, followed by the Lords answers. The theme is the prophet call-
ing out for help and being grieved by the injustice at the time. The Lords reply is that he is there and at work and calls
people to faithnot just as an answer, but as a way of life.

immediately after breakfast and end with plenty of time
left to play games before noon.

RECYCLING TIP

coffee at church on Sunday mornings? Why
not do your part by choosing to use a washa-

ing rack in the kitchen.

FRIENDLY CARE

GODS ANGELS is the new name for the
group formerly known as Moms Angels. It
was decided to change the name to reflect
the groups focus, which is to provide a
healing atmosphere for both moms and
dads whove lost a child. The group gath-
ered in October for refreshments and a
time of sharing in the Fellowship Room.
Those in attendance shared bible verses
that have been particularly comforting to
them. In November the group will meet for
sandwiches before attending Trinity High
Schools presentation of the musical
Annie. (Watch for an email containing the
date and ticket information.) If you know of
any parents in the community who might
benefit from being involved in this group,
please pass on contact information to
Trish.

peals to you! If you are interested, but arent
sure if you are the right person for the job,

SUNDAY SCHOOL CHRISTMAS SERVICE


November 30
7:00 pm


Each year many people -- those who are griev-
ing, lonely, and hopeless -- dread the approach
of the holidays. They have little enthusiasm for
the cheer and the bustle of the season. For
these hurting folks, Christmas will be difficult,
either because they have had a death in the
family, a loss or a broken relationship, or be-
cause of painful memories of holiday seasons
past.

We believe that the One who was born at
Christmas came to share our sorrows and bring
us eternal comfort. And he calls us, who are
called by his name, to bear one another's bur-
dens, to weep with those who weep.

Whether you are in need of encouragement for
sorrows you bear, or want to support others
during this holiday season, we invite you to
come for a time of remembrance, lament, and
comfort at our Blue Christmas service this year.

OPERATION
CHRISTMAS CHILD:

Operation Christmas Child brings joy
and hope to children in desperate situations world-
wide through simple, gift-filled shoe boxes and
evangelistic materials that tell the Good News of
God's love. Use an empty shoe box or a small plas-
tic container. They may be wrapped (lid separately),
but it is not required. Some suggestions for items to
fill the shoe boxes with are school supplies, toys,
hygiene items (any bars of soap must be in a plastic
bag), or t-shirts and socks. Do not include used or
damaged items, war related toys, chocolate or food,
any liquids, or medications and vitamins. A $7 do-
nation will help cover shipping and other project
costs. The collection deadline for shoe boxes is No-
vember 9th.

A free-will offering breakfast will be served on
November 9th

and the donation will go towards any
remaining cost of shipping for the shoe boxes. A
sign-up sheet will be at the Welcome Center for
breakfast food donations. Contact Tyler Claycamp
with questions.

Communion During Advent



The season of Advent is a time of preparation.
One of the dominate themes throughout the read-
ings during Advent is that of preparing for the
coming of the Messiah. The word, Advent, itself
means coming. Most of us are pretty good at pre-
paring for the coming season as we decorate our
homes, buy Christmas gifts, etc. However, the
main question is how do we prepare ourselves for
the coming of Jesus spiritually?

One way in which we can prepare ourselves is
through receiving Holy Communionthe body and
blood of Jesus Christ. Hence, during the four
weeks of Advent we will be having the opportunity
for people to receive Holy Communion at both ser-
vices. Any questions, please talk with Pastor Ste-
ve.

Dartball



Dartball will begin on No-
vember 10th at 8:00 p.m. Games will be on Mon-

ber 5th from 6:00 8:30 p.m. King James, the

Orphan Grain Trains Indiana Branch
Is celebrating its anticipated move
to a new facility in Jonesville, IN!!!


This new facility is a blessing in so many ways! In addition to its easy to find location, it will allow
for more efficiency in loading, unloading, and storage, and theres ample room for future expan-
sion. Theres also a rental home on the property which generates a monthly income.

Orphan Grain Train accepts donations of gently-used clothing, furniture, appliances, bibles and
unused Sunday School materials. These donations are directed to local families in crisis as well
as victims of disaster in the U.S. and worldwide. For the past 12 years the distribution warehouse
has been located on the Gene Wint farm near Azalia, IN. Although intended as only a temporary
site, from this location hundreds of shipments have been sent throughout Indiana, the United
States, and the world. Thousands, if not millions of needy people have been served. Gene Wint
has faithfully overseen the daily operation of Orphan Grain Train for the past 12 years. Mr. Wint
will be retiring soon as the Indiana Branch Manager. Rev. Gene Ernst will fill the position of Indi-
ana Branch Manager at the Jonesville facility.

A letter of thanks for St. Paul-Borchers past support of the Orphan Grain Train was received re-
cently. We have been asked to help raise funds to cover the purchase and remodeling of the
new facility. Watch for a promotional video clip to be shown during screen announcements prior
to services. Throughout the month of November donations will be accepted at St. Paul-Borchers
through Sunday offerings. Please mark your envelope with Orphan Grain Train or write it
on your check. A lump sum will be given to the local chapter in early December.
On Saturday, November 8
th
and Sunday, November 9
th
there are several celebratory events
scheduled in the area. If you would be interested in attending one of these events, or if youd like
to learn more about how St. Paul has been involved with orphan Grain Train, please see Trish
