The Colo Community Food Pantry has been serving an average of 20 families a week! Supplies are running low and getting difficult to keep up! As we near the end of year, finances are also running low. If you feel led to help out in any way, whether food, paper products or finances, now would be a good time to do so! Needed items are: Boxed meals, meat (canned and wrapped) canned fruit, canned vegetables, cereal. As we get near the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays items needed would be, pumpkin pie mix, stuffing, evaporated milk, cranberries, etc. Thank you to ALL for your help with this important ministry. Your donations are always very much appreciated!

Healthy Church Initiative Communicating For A Change By Andy Stanley and Lane Jones
"How's my preaching?" Another way to say that is to ask, "Am I communicating a message that will help change the lives of my congregation?" Every message should take the congregation on a journey where they discover a truth that will change their lives. The authors outlined seven "imperatives" that are critical to the process of engaging and inspiring members with one solitary idea. First you need to determine your goal or what you are trying to accomplish. Second, pick a point of what you are trying to say. Third, create a map for the best route to make your point. Fourth, internalize you message or your story so you can tell it without referencing your notes. Fifth, engage your audience to capture and keep their attention. Sixth, find your voice or be yourself when delivering your message. Seventh, i f you get stuck, start all over again. Cut out what isn't necessary. At the end of the day, it is God who empowers people to change. The Holy Spirit opens the eyes of the heart and Jesus Christ gives men and women the courage to love and forgive. -Elaine E. Stucky
