Cachagua: Slowly, Surely
With every meeting of Cachagua Church the Lord encourages
our small outreach team. At our first worship service in August I
was struck
again
with the Lord’s faithfulness in continuing to draw new people
to this
little church. Almost every time we meet there is at least one new
visitor!
One of our visitors in August was from San Francisco.
Her name was Sally. Sally grew up in Cachagua and told us that the
Lord had put
it on
her heart to pray for Cachagua a year ago. As I reflected on what
she
said I realized that was the same time our elders were prayerfully
formulating plans to plant a small church in Cachagua. Praise God!
Sally was a big encouragement to the Cachagua outreach
team. She reminded us of one main thing—God desires the people
of Cachagua to come
to know Him and He is placing this desire on the hearts of His people
to
pray.
The Lord is slowly but surely expanding the influence
of Cachagua Church in Cachagua. It might be one or two people at
a time but,
nevertheless, His word is spreading. Please do not underestimate
the
power of your prayers for this ministry. We desperately covet them
as we
seek to continue holding out the gospel of Christ’s salvation
to the
people of Cachagua. Thank you for praying.
Thank You: Ana and Paulo
In January, when it was freezing in Cachagua, and Cachagua
Church was
just getting started, a couple from SBCCV volunteered to serve the
children of Cachagua and establish a children’s ministry. That
couple
was Ana and Paulo Vicente.
Ana and Paulo came traveled with their kids, Danielle
and Shonn, to
Cachagua every time Cachagua Church met—they missed only one
Sunday (and Ana was in hospital that day). Ana did puppet shows,
creative crafts, and always did a great job communicating the Bible
story … my kids could remember it clearly! :-)
Thank you so much Ana and Paulo for being obedient
and faithful to the
Lord by serving the children of Cachagua. You have been a
tremendous blessing and we will really miss you. Lord bless you.

Nursery News...
We are so blessed to have 20-28 children under 4 in our nursery
on
Sunday mornings! They are precious!
We staff our nursery with 2 paid workers, and the rest volunteers.
We
are losing 5 military families by
September, all of whom help us in the nursery. Additionally we are
losing 2 other helpers as their children are "graduating" to
children's
church...That said, we welcome new people with young ones...and guess
what? We could use your help once a month in the nursery.
Please
contact Christine Williams to sign up at 659-1307 or
kiwimama8@comcast.net. THANKS!

Hands of Care
If you have ever received encouragement and help from the church
family you know what a blessing it is. We have many opportunities to
serve each other and we hope everyone will respond when called upon.
Beth Hall is the contact person for this wonderful ministry.
Hands of Care helps people in many ways. You may be called upon to
drive someone to a doctor's appointment, or help with an errand, or
provide a meal. Everything that is done provides an important
connection to the church body.
Providing meals is probably the most challenging thing to be prepared
to do, but it can be
approached creatively. Would you be willing to have a meal ready in
your freezer for a quick delivery? Are there easy dishes that you
could
put together from your cupboard, and then stop by the grocery store
for
a salad and desert? Think about the blessing you could receive by being
there for someone else.
Prayer Chain
There are many people on the prayer chain, ready and willing to pray
for
YOU! If you have a prayer need, please contact Shelly Everett
mtyshell@sbcglobal.net).M
Men’s Homeless Dinner
Once a month we have our Men’s Homeless dinner outreach
here at the church. Jodi Sherman provides and prepares a great
meal for the men, but would love your help. If you would like to
help out just come on Sunday, November 25 at 4:30 p.m. Also,the
men are in need of blankets and warm jackets for winter. Your donations
may be dropped off in the bins in the men’s bathroom in Faith
Hall.
Operation Yellow Ribbon
Operation Yellow Ribbon, Monterey
is a non profit organization whose
sole purpose is to provide care packages to our service personnel in
Afghanistan and Iraq. Included in these packages are personal hygiene
items, snacks, batteries, socks, phone and I Tune cards, and many more
items. In each box, we try to include a hand written note that just
tells the service man or woman that we are thinking of them and praying
for them. If you would like to help, we always need more written notes. Children’s
drawings are welcomed too and bring a big smile.
To send a note,
please write your thoughts of love and encouragement,
(no political messages please), and prayers, leave it unsealed
and place
it in the mailbox on the table in our church lobby. You may
include your
name and address if you so choose as sometimes the military
person will
respond. Lynn Welch will be picking up the notes and pictures
and taking
them to Operation Yellow Ribbon.
Quilt Group
Come join the fun and learn a new quilt
block each month. Our summer meeting is August 15th. We meet in
the Yellow Room of Faith Hall
at
6:30 pm until about 9 pm. Please call Terann Carr for a supply
list.
