IT IS SIMPLE TO PACK A SHOE BOX!Everyone loves to receive gifts. During the Christmas season, we celebrate the arrival of God's Son, Jesus. He is the greatest gift of all. This year millions of children will experience Christmas joy when they receive gift-filled shoe boxes and hear the Gospel through Christian literature and follow-up discipleship programs. Our church can play a crucial role in touching young lives, first by preparing shoe box gifts, and then praying for the boys and girls who will receive them. PACK A GIFT: Use an empty shoe box. It can be wrapped in Christmas paper, painted or left plain. Determine whether your gift will be for a boy or a girl. The child's age category:2 - 4, 5 - 9 or 10 - 14 . Mark your box by taping the label on the lid. Fill the box with a variety of gifts that will make a child happy. Gift suggestions may include pens, pencils, paper tablets, sharpener, solar calculators, color books, small cars, balls, dolls, stuffed animals, kazoos, yo-yos, toys that light up or make a noise (with extra batteries), slinky and some hard candy. PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE: war items, liquid soaps or lotions, or breakable items. GIVE: Include your $7.00 donation to cover the cost of shipping by placing it in the donation envelope or just place the donation in the shoe box. If you prepare more than one shoe box, please make one combined donation. Shoe boxes will be collected the month of October. PRAY: Pray for the child receiving you shoe box. God is at work in the lives of the children and their families. In 2007, Samaritan's Purse collected more than 7.6 million shoe box gifts for poor, sick, and suffering children. Our church sent 66 boxes to these children. Join us as we share God's love by packing a shoe box or two, and giving a gift donation to cover costs of shipping around the world. More information may be found at the "Welcome Desk" in the church foyer. May God richly bless you for your gifts of love! Sue McMaster Operation Christmas Child Coordinator (360) 482-2547 REFUELING THE TANKBy Courtney Rice Recently someone was telling me that they think of going to church as “refueling their religious tank.” We go and fill up once a week on Sunday and as the week goes by we begin to get low on fuel and energy. We have to keep coming back regularly (more than once a week) in order to keep God and our relationship with Him in perspective. Think of it as a car; when the fuel tank begins to get low you better go fill up your car because you won’t be able to travel anywhere without the energy that makes the car go. God is the fuel that energizes us. We have to be filled with his love and grace in order to go anywhere because life without him isn’t worth living. Being a Christian isn’t easy, just like gas these days isn’t cheap. We have to work at it everyday to let God’s love shine through us. I challenge you to try and spend at least 10 minutes a day with God. Make the time for Him because He is the source that keeps us going, without Him we break down on the highway. Get On Board NowFor An Upcoming Mission Trip To Vicente Guerrero, Baja, Mexico
June 20 - 27, 2009If your heart is Missions and you are feeling the call to go to Mexico, the MCHOG Missions Committee is planning ahead for June 2009. There is room for just 11 persons and is on a first come, first served basis. Some of the requirements are: You must be in excellent physical health, at least 14 years of age, able to lift at least 40 pounds and more and have a willing heart and strong back. The Mission trips to Vicente Guerrero are work camps {not the word WORK} but the added blessings far out number the daily work projects. A $100.00 deposit is due soon to hold the spot for our 11 MCHOG Mission Workers. Sign up and get your first $100.00 in now. Also remember you will need a passport... SPIRITUAL LIFE NEWSComplete Consecration Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself. Mark 8:34 "Today Christ is calling Christians to cleansing – to dedication – to consecration – to full surrender. If you are a Christian and have been suffering defeat or have been living outside the will of God, I beg you to surrender every area of your life to Christ. Only surrendered Christians will make an impact on our world. The world does not need any more lukewarm Christians, or lazy Christians, or quarrelsome Christians, or doubting Christians, or prideful Christians. The Bible says, "a double minded man is unstable in all his ways" (James 1:8, KJV). What keeps you from a full surrender of your life to the King of kings and the Lord of lords? Your response will make the difference between success and failure in your spiritual life. It will make the difference between your needing help and being able to help others. It will revolutionize your habits, your prayer life, your Bible reading, your giving, your testimony, and your church relationship. This is the Christians hour of decision!" These words of wisdom are from "Hope for Each Day" by Billy Graham. We ask you join us in our prayer focus for this month which is for the Annual Church Business Meeting. May God be glorified in our response to the leaders planning for the coming year to the edification of our church. Your Spiritual Life Committee, Doris Parnel Sandy Casberg Annette Hollingworth Leona Wright SENIOR NEWSXtra Years of Zest NewsHello to all our XYZ friends! Join US the third Thursday of each month at 11:30 A.M. for food, fun and fellowship. Bring your favorite dish to share with the XYZ group. Our next gathering will be Thursday, October 16th. If you have a talent or would like to witness to the XYZ group, or just have a question, see or call Marge Crass. SEE YOU THERE!!! Jerry, Jeanine, Norm and Donna will be hosting the October meeting. November we'll be going by bus to the Lake Quinault Lodge for lunch. It's off to Centralia in December for a very special singing event. We have some exciting events for Seniors planned for this Fall. We invite YOU to come be a part of our XYZ group. John 10:12 "I am come that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly." Christian living is living "abundantly"...meaning to the full. You might say "zesty" living! And "zesty" living means making right choices each new day. A REMINDERFOR THE November 2008 MONTE MESSENGER.  Articles for the November 2008 Monte Messenger are due by Saturday, October 25.
