FAITH & VALUES

November 4, 2025

Blanket Creek

We are so blessed to have so many young people here. Vickie Carr gave a story for them called “The Monkey in the Lions Den.” We also want to thank Steve and Vickie Carr for opening their home to  us for our Fall Festival and hayride.

The message was from Matthew 2:13-23. Starting a series “From The Cradle to the Grave.” God wants to protect us from evil. Don’t let the world influence you.  For our evening service we prepared 300 treat bags to hand out for trick or treaters.

Please remember the families of Charles Klaber and Darryl Wright.

Have a blessed week.

Seeing God flow through our adult Sunday school class and the morning messages for two weeks now on the same line of thinking has been inspiring. Many have taken the call to be servant leaders. Our altars were full Sunday morning with men seeking after God. It was truly inspiring.

Bro. Mark’s message was from Luke 6:1-11.

On two different Sabbath days Jesus did something that the Pharisees thought was wrong. Their laws said you can’t do any type of work on that day.  While walking through some grain fields Jesus and his disciples broke off heads of wheat and ate the grain. The Pharisees said that it is illegal to harvest grain on the Sabbath. On another Sabbath Jesus was in the synagogue teaching and a man presented with a deformed hand. And of course the Pharisees were watching to see if Jesus was going to heal that man. Jesus said, reach out your hand and it was completely normal again.

Is it right to do good on the Sabbath day or to do harm? To save a life or destroy it? What is your initial response when you are confronted with your sins?

This Sunday at Trinity was filled with joy and purpose as we gained an extra hour of rest and celebrated our 34th baptism of the year! Our ongoing sermon series, Hope for Northern KY, continues to inspire and uplift our community with messages of faith and resilience.

As we look ahead, we’re committed to serving those in need—especially families affected by the loss of SNAP benefits.

And on Thanksgiving Day, we’re offering free Thanksgiving meals to anyone in need. It’s our way of sharing hope and hospitality during the holiday season.

Turner Ridge Baptist

If you don’t attend Sunday school I’m telling you, you’re missing a great time of fellowship diving into God’s word.

The beginning of our worship service was a special time, the children that usually attend children’s worship brought candy to Bro. Dale and flowers to Mrs. Ann to express their love for them, while in the background Robin sang and Sandy played, “Thank You for Giving to the Lord.”

Kip Gregg read Romans 12:4-7, followed by the Praise Team special.

Bro. Dale’s message from I Corinthians 12:4-7, “Empowered to Serve,” the message explained to us how the Holy Spirit empowers us to serve. When we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, the Holy Spirit enters us and gives us a gift from God. The best way to discover your gift is to serve Christ and His church, we must take the initiative to figure out and use our gift. Some are given more than one, but everyone has at least one gift from God.
