Memory Verse of the Week
"In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 NASB 


Many of you know Michael & Sherri Gagliardi, family members of Desert Springs Church.  Michael often plays in our worship band and Sherri runs the Refresh family room service.  Both are precious to us and to the Lord; such servants!   

Last Sunday Sherri's 28 year old nephew was killed in a car crash.  Would you lift their family up in prayer, they will need the comfort and peace that can only come from God!

THANKSGIVING...a time to share your blessings with others.  Because of your generosity The Food Pantry at Desert Springs put together over 30 Thanksgiving dinners for families in need.   

Just a thought to ponder, what if the question around holiday tables wasn't "What are you so grateful for?"  but rather "How are you changing the world because you are so grateful?" 

Let's make a difference in our church, our community and the world!

Memory Verse of the Week
"For as he (a man) thinks within himself, so he is." Proverbs 23:7 

PHILIPPINES IN CRISIS
Tacolban, Philippines is the hometown (born and raised) of our very own Evangeline Byrnes-St. Clair. Evangeline just returned from months of doing her missionary work with the UTAP Community Bible Church there.   As you can understand she is heartbroken over the loss of life and destruction of homes and her city.  If you would like to make a contribution that will help directly, please contact Evangeline at utapmissionary@yahoo.com to find out how you can make a tax deductible donation.


Our precious sister Shirley Smaldino passed away last week, unexpected and very quickly.  Shirley was very involved in our Prayer Shawl Knitter's group and in Pastor Jim Smoke's class.  

A celebration of life service is being arranged; details and information will be posted as soon as finalized. 

Please lift Shirley's family  and friends up in prayer, for comfort and strength.
