Finally cooler weather has arrived. It is comforting to see that seasons change. But how did that come about?God, in His wondrous love for mankind, created the seasons before He placed man on the earth. He put the seasons into motionjust for you and me. Each season has its own unique look and purpose. Spring brings new birth, Summer is a time of growth, Fall displays maturity, and Winter brings death. But that is not the end. Spring comes around with new birth again and so the cycle continues just as God planned. So enjoy the season!

I was so excited about the volunteers for the 1^st official NGBC Pantry Food Giveaway. Our next open date is November 14^th. I expect a large number of needy people. Pray for the ministry that we will be able to make a difference in someone’s life. If you would like to be involved in mission work, join the Pantry Ministry Team. See Barbara Siefkas to sign up.

Another way you can be involved in mission work is to help with Thanksgiving Baskets. There are boxes in classrooms and the Worship Center to place Thanksgiving food items. If you know of a family that needs to be blessed, call Nancy at the church office or Alberta. We will need to have all supplies and names turned in by November 11^th. That will give time to prepare and deliver the baskets before Thanksgiving.

Please continue to pray for our Multi-housing ministry at Lifegate Mission. If you have not went to check out what our Team does with the kids, I encourage you to go and experience a blessing. You might get hooked on serving.
