MARK’S remark
Dear Friend,
During my lifetime, I’ve had the privilege of seeing
God move across America in powerful ways, and yet we have
seen our nation steadily sliding into moral and spiritual ruin.
As I approach my 95th birthday, I believe that unless God
sends a sweeping revival, America as we have know it—a
nation rooted in biblical values—will be a thing of the past.
Today, around 60 percent of Americans don’t attend
church regularly. Among young people in our churches, half
think that many religions can lead to eternal life. Since 1990,
the number of people who specifically identify themselves as
atheists or agnostics has more than tripled.
This is why I believe My Hope America is crucial. It could be our last chance to see our country turn
back to God. I hope you will join us in this nationwide evangelistic campaign and reach out to your unsaved
neighbors and loved ones with our only true hope: the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The hour is late, and the need is urgent. The eternal destiny of many souls—and the future of our
great nation—is at state. Pray that we will turn form our wicked ways and that God will heal our land.
-Billy Graham

I want to thank the Young at Heart that
went to Pennsylvania for a wonderful trip.
You all were great and I look forward to
the next time we travel together! November 5, the Young at Heart will be volunteering at Second
Harvest Food Bank. Due to some work being done on
the church parking lot, we will meet at the food bank at
9:00am!
Please keep November 19, 11:30am marked on your
calendars for our Annual Thanksgiving Meal. We will
have a traditional Thanksgiving meal with all the fixings.
The Planning Committee works very hard to make this a
special event for our senior adults, and I pray many of you
who have not joined us before will be here this year!
Anyone that needs a ride, we will be happy to provide one
if you will call the church office.

Smoke Alarm Installation
Approximately two-thirds of home fire deaths occur in homes without working smoke alarms. Since most fatal fires occur at night, it’s
essential that every home has working smoke alarms to provide an
early warning. Working smoke alarms increase the chance of surviving a home
fire.
We have received Smoke Alarms from the NCBAM and NC OFSM to install into
homes free of charge. The Challengers will be traveling to homes and installing
smoke alarms and checking the existing smoke alarms. We will be starting first
with the homebound. Contact the church office to get on a list if you are interested in this program.

THE TIE
This Sunday, Nov. 3 will be our "My Hope" Sunday. Many are planning "Matthew Parties" for that evening to share the hope of Christ with
friends and family. The Crave band will be doing special music. I ask
the choirs to be in prayer for this Sunday that God will speak in miraculous ways in our community. There will be a Prayer Service at the church, Sunday
evening at 6:00pm if you are not hosting a party.
Music Ministry Opportunities
Sunday, Nov. 3—NO Instrumental Ensemble, Preschool or Children's Choirs
(due to My Hope with Billy Graham events)
Tuesday, Nov. 5, 6:00pm Young at Heart Choir
Wednesday, Nov. 6, 7:15pm Sanctuary Choir rehearsal
It has always been my utmost hope and prayer that the Children’s Ministry at ACBC share God's love with every child we encounter. I want to
say Praise God and Thank You Abbotts Creek for its ministry during the
Fall Fest! Over 125 children, youth and adults participated Sunday evening, many of
these were visitors to our church. My personal gratitude goes out to the many hands
and hearts that shared the love of Christ. Never fear God's workers are here!

OUR RECORD SPEAKS

Operation Christmas Child
We will collect items to place in shoeboxes starting in October.
Items will be donated to be placed in boxes for the Shoebox
Ministry. This will be in addition to the boxes you and your
family bring on Sunday, November 17th for the Shoebox
Dedication.
pencils/erasers/sharpeners/crayons/soap/washcloths/
toothbrushes/toothpaste/toys/candy/be creative
Please have your items to the church on Sunday, November 2nd.
Join us Sunday, November 10th for our Packing Party in the fellowship hall.
This will be a Church-wide Missions Night where families of all ages will
work together packing shoeboxes.
WHY A SHOEBOX?
Why School supplies? Some children can’t go to school because
they don’t have a pencil.
We would like to thank each one of you for your love and support during this
difficult time. Our words cannot express how much your prayers, calls, cards,
visits and flowers meant to us. All of the food was delicious and we greatly
appreciate the meal that was prepared for us. We were deeply touched by the
donations made in memory of C.R. (Dad), and for the love we felt and continue
to feel each day through your kindness and generosity.
Love,
