FAITH & VALUES

November 11, 2025

Blanket Creek

It was an exciting day when the Holy Spirit lead Kyle Florer to go forward and accept Jesus Christ as his Savior asking to be baptize in His name and become a part of the Blanket Creek family. We welcome him and his family with open arms and love.

Scripture for Sunday was from Luke 2 where Jesus stays behind in the temple while his family moved on. When ask why, He said “Don’t you know I have to be about my Fathers business.” Which Father are you serving?

Please remember the families of Keith Wright and Bill Barker.

Join us at 9:45 for Sunday school where we are studying the book of Ezekiel and 11 for Worship.

Big things are happening come be a part of it.

Greetings friends. Have you considered that we are all on the same team? Young Christians and established Christians alike. We all belong to God.

We here at BCCC wish to express our appreciation to everyone who supported our Christmas Auction on Saturday! It was a tremendous success and so much  fun. We sure did miss Marvin, however.

The Women will be meeting on the 21 for their thank bank service at 7.

We will be hanging the greens on November 30 for the Advent season.

On Dec. 6 the ladies will have their Christmas party at Brenda’s home.

Please pray with us for all our sick ones including, Mary Ann, Mark Kyle, Daryl Mullins, Nancy McElfresh's father, Carolyn, John Barrie, and our bereaved, the Hargett family.

We are so happy to welcome William and Elizabeth to our church as new members and dear friends.

God bless you all!

I hate to start off on a negative note, but sometimes Christians fail to see the treasures we have.  The best treasure of all is knowing God personally and His power. If you have Jesus within, you have the best treasure of all!

Bro. Mark’s message was from Ephesians 2:1-8.Grace….doomed forever for your sins. You went along with the crowd, full of sin. But God is so rich in mercy. We were spiritually dead but he gave us back our lives again when he raised Christ from the dead. God can now point to us as examples of how rich his kindness is and it too is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good we have done. It’s God himself who has made us what we are. If you give little you will get little.  God will give you everything you need and more.  We can count on God’s grace to carry us through anything.

Sunday the children’s message, Unto the Least of These, from Matthew 25:31-46, was a lesson for all to hear. Bro. Dale explained to the kids how we are serving Jesus by serving people. It’s as simple as if you see someone at school that needs a pencil, give them one, if someone on the playground needs a friend, be one. “And the King will answer and say to them, ’Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.” Matthew 25:40

Callie Seedle read Psalm 8:1, 3-5 followed by the Praise team special. The message, A Life of Thanksgiving from Luke 17:11-19, Bro. Dale shared his thankfulness for the things the Lord has done in his life; things such as a Christian home, keeping him, bringing Ann into his life, for saving him, for an education, for His call in our lives and for counting us worthy. Remember to thank God for the little things, they build up to the big things.
