For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith —and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9
Our Mission is to follow through
on Jesus' instructions to His disciples...

“Go into all the world
and preach the gospel to all creation.”

6 Things to do When You Feel Stuck in Life
Are there situations in your life right now where you feel stuck, unable to make progress, and are waiting for someone or something to come along to change your situation?
Ruth Clemence provides “6 Things to Do When You Feel Stuck in Life.”
“Life has a funny habit of continually moving forward whether we like it or not." Christian author and speaker Elisabeth Elliot once said, “the secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances.” We can spend our days longing for a better tomorrow, or we can glorify Jesus with our today, for that really is all the time that we have.
Jesus sees your heart and knows your longing. Whatever situation you may feel stuck in at the moment, know that Christ is the King over it all and He wants to rule in your heart. Perhaps the “stickiness” of the situation will bring you closer to Him, so that you can know Jesus is a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
She suggests:
1-Pray;
2-Look Upward, then Outward;
3-Reflect on Biblical Examples;
4-Set Out in Faith;
5-Practice Thanksgiving and Lament;
6-Remember You are Placed for a Purpose.

It’s that time of year! We are beginning to collect items to fill shoeboxes with gifts for children around the world.
“By filling ordinary shoeboxes full of toys and other fun items, you can be part of giving boys and girls what may be their first gift ever!”
Go to samaritanspurse.org/occ for a list of suggestions for either a girl or boy shoebox. You can pack a box of your own and bring it in or you can donate items for the children to use while they pack boxes during Sunday School.
If you have questions please
talk with Julie Crider.
Skidompha Library is offering a FREE series to provide you with tools, resources and information to help yourself and others in this age of financial and digital deception.
NOV. 4th, 10:30am - “Holiday Recap!”
Each session will include a notice of the latest scams we are aware of that month and updates from Local Law Enforcement. Refreshments will be served. For more info, contact Julie Casson at jcasson@cmrb.me
Next Sunday Marilee will be in Burlington, Vermont with her Mixed Doubles tennis team competing in a Districts Championship. Please welcome John Thorpe as he comes to lead worship. He will be taking you to the New Testament and sharing insights of the Beatitudes.
Looking ahead…
• David is to travel to Indonesia for the annual SIL Asia Pacific Area meetings being held there the last week of October. He will be meeting with SIL leaders from the area for two weeks. Since he will be so close, it only made sense for him to continue after those meetings to spend a few more weeks in the Solomons with the team there.
• Deb will be spending November in the Midwest with her family, and we plan to reunite there for Thanksgiving before returning to New Hampshire on the first of December. We don’t expect that either of our boys will be able to join us, unfortunately.
• We continue to plan to spend the first few months of 2027 in the Solomon Islands together.
