Save the date!

Save the date! January 19, 2008
Garnett is hosting a Crown Financial Freedom Seminar January 19, 2008.

Do you want to get out of debt? Want to understand more about biblical principles for handling your money? Did you know the Bible contains more than 2,000 verses related to money? This is not a get rich quick seminar and Crown is not selling a product or service at the seminar. We do use their curriculum, which participants purchase, and Crown brings in excellent guest presenters.

After the seminar, starting in February, Garnett small groups will be encouraged to use a 10-week curriculum from Crown on Financial Freedom. Imagine the positive impact on your small group and your family as small groups share the journey away from debt bondage and toward financial freedom. To lead a small group, leader couples first attend a small group leader seminar December 8, 9 am – 2 pm at a local church. For more details, contact Pam Rushmore 607-6775.

Food Pantry and Clothes Closet Thursday, November 8

Thursday, November 8, 9:30 am - 11:30 am is our Food Pantry and Clothes Closet and is open for all in need who live within a few miles of the church. We are connected with the Tulsa Food Bank and distributors around the city have certain regions they cover.

Would you like to come and volunteer? Or are you in need of warm clothing or food right now? Know someone who is? Tell them about the Food Pantry and Clothes Closet.

We also typically take orders for Angel Food during this Food Pantry/Clothes Closet time and open our prayer center for those who would like to spend moments of peace with God. This month, because of Thanksgiving, ordering is already done. There is an Angel Food link to the right of this page. While Food Pantry and Clothes Closet is a free service to those in need, Angel Food is a way of helping people reduce their food expenses by offering nearly $100 worth of groceries, meats, frozen foods for $25. You order early in the month and pick it up the last Saturday of the month.

Habitat House is already finished!

All are invited to the Home Dedication Ceremony this Sunday, Nov 11 at 2:00 p.m. The owner and her daughter are very excited and so are we. Many were able to get to know Cat and her daughter and we enjoyed working with them on their home.

Address is 3707 W. 54th Street. Go I-44 West to 33rd St. W. Ave exit and go back under I-44 and immediately turn right along feeder that runs along I-44. Take either second or third street on left and within a block you’ll see neighborhood with lots of Habitat homes and people there for dedication.

From Paul Kent at Habitat Tulsa

THANKS for the gift of service and love that you have shared with
Cat and Mary Catherine through the building & funding of their new home.
You are LIFE-CHANGERS!

Habitat for Humanity International is compiling materials to include in a
scrapbook that will be presented to the family that funds the Open Door
Foundation that graciously made available the grant for building the Tulsa
Habitat/Willow Creek home this fall.

I'm looking for letters that might express what your church's participation
in this project did for you and your people, as well as a "thanks for the
grant funds" ($25,000 matching gift)-HANDWRITTEN LETTERS SEEM TO CONNECT
BETTER THAN TYPED ONES.

If you have a picture that you would like to donate to the cause, that would
be great.

Please let me know if you would like to share something. You can bring it
to me at the Home Dedication Ceremony this Sunday, Nov 11 at 2:00 p.m. or get it to me at the Habitat office by next Wed, Nov. 14th.

Blessings to you!
