Minister’s Corner

Shalom aleikhem! שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם Peace be upon you!

Good morning and indeed I pray that God’s peace rests this morning upon you and those dear to you. As we get ready to worship, following in the footsteps of those who in the 1st century met briefly while there was still dark outside to celebrate the resurrection of their Lord and to commit themselves to one another and a life lived under the leadership of Jesus, we will remember their hearts, their devotion and their courage. We are part of the fruit Jesus brought forth through them, and in a similar fashion, Jesus is bringing forth fruit through us. Fruit that will last for centuries to come, perhaps millennia, until our Lord shall appear in the sky to take His rightful place in the leadership of this planet. What will those that come behind us speak of us? What legacy of worship will we leave them? Today, our example of worship is being passed down to our kids as they are discipled so that someday they will disciple others. Let us lead them fruitfully in the arms of Jesus by our example in worship today! Thank you for your part in it!

This Wednesday – November 18th – Family Time & Bible Study

Wednesday I invite those of you who are willing to come join us at the building from 6:00 PM for our Family Time dinner. Bring your takeout or brown bag at the building and have it together with us.

From 7:00 PM we will continue this interesting study of the Book of Genesis following the book Genesis – God, Creation and Destruction by Dennis Prager as facilitated by Charles.

Anniversary this week: Gary & Diane Flatt (21st)

Bible Reading

I invite you to join us in the journey of reading the entire Bible chronologically following the Chronological NIV Study Bible. We are at chapter 28 of Genesis and we read on Tuesday and Friday evenings from 7:30 PM to 8:00PM.

Small Group

Due to my family’s expecting a new member shortly, I would like to start the small group online only at first. Right Now Media has come up with a zoom like platform that allows us to follow the same Bible Study together viewing the videos, chatting and having video of each other at the same time. I would like to start in the beginning of December with a study on Advent. As I am prayerfully seeking guidance, I ask that you also start praying about being a part of a small group or leading a small group. Stay tuned!

Offering

Don’t forget, for your convenience and safety you can still make your offering on line at http://ww.troychurch.net/give

We will not pass an offering tray/plate around. If you want to make your offering via cash or check please place it in the offering tray/plate as you exit the auditorium. Thank you.

Mahrokh Roksare Kanbari – Status Update = Released

After 226 days of imprisonment this Iranian Christian is released. She was initially released temporarily due to the Covid-19 crisis in Iran. Subsequently the prison authorities informed her that she does not have to serve the remaining of her sentence. Thank you for your prayers and remembrance of our brothers and sisters persecuted around the world. Your prayers matter! Next week we will add a new name to our list of three prisoners we are praying for. It will be another Iranian national by the name Yousef Nadarkhani and at this moment he has already been imprisoned for 847 days.
