Many thanks to the members of Copeland Baptist Church for bringing items this past year for the Operation Christmas Child shoe-boxes. WMU will be operation_christmas_childcollecting items to go into the shoe boxes for 2022.  The drop off box is located inside the front entry way. 
Each month, throughout the year, will have specific item that will be needed to fill each shoe box at the end of the year.  And this list will be displayed above the drop off box, as to make everyone aware of what can be given to Operation CHRISTmas Child.   
October is OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD shoebox time.  Begin now finding items to put in one or two boxes for children who wouldn’t have Christmas any other way. Pick up a box (or two) from the church foyer to fill and bring back to the church by early November.  Our goal this year is to have a total of 100 boxes to send to the kids.  You WILL want to be a part of this special ministry effort.
Please pray for God’s presence with each of these boxes and also for the children who will receive them.

 Hebrews 10:25 –  And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.

What is the true MARK of a Christ devoted church?

Just a simple but yet reassuring reminder…HE IS STILL RISEN!  Now before Jesus went to the cross, He mentioned to the disciples in Matthew 16 that He was the one who would build His church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.  And when Christ left this earth and went back to Heaven, the responsibility of building upon the Rock of Jesus Christ was solely up to us (the CHURCH).  So how do we become a church that is building upon the Rock of Jesus Christ?

First, we have to exam ourselves according to Act 2:42-47… The believers of Christ devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.  They were devoted to one-another, they meet daily with one another, and they shared a meal with each other on a regular basis with glad and sincere hearts. 

Now the Bible didn’t say they devoted themselves only on Sundays when they came to church but daily and in their homes as well.   Do you devote yourself to the teaching of God’s Word?  I am not just talking about on Sunday mornings during service only but how about Sunday school and Sunday evening prayer.  We can’t leave out our daily quiet time with God either and last but surely not least Wednesday evening Bible study.   These are great opportunities to devote ourselves to the teaching of God’s Word.

We have 2 opportunities this month to show the true mark of a devoted church. First opportunity will be on April 20th from 8am-11am, our missions team will be having a Pancake Breakfast in the gym. Everyone is invited to come support the missions of Copeland Baptist church. The second opportunity will be on April 27th as Kids Kingdom will be meeting once again to invest in the lives of our students for the Kingdom of the LORD. Mark your calendar and come join, support and invest in our missions and our kids this month. This leads me to ask this question?

How do you spend your time outside of the church? Or do we just see and visit one another only on Sundays?   The true MARK of a devoted church is how we spend our time with each other outside of the church.  We can’t expect true fellowship to occur during Sunday morning service; it has to also happen on a daily basis.  

Do we devote ourselves as a church to lift each other up in prayer on a daily basis?  Church is NOT just about numbers but when the Church is devoted to Jesus, God can’t help but add to our church, those who believe, on a daily basis.  So once again I ask…. Do we bare the MARK of a Church devoted to Jesus?

Investing in the Kingdom,

Pastor James
