Back to the purpose, the report for Monday night visitation. This week, instead of going door to door as we would on a normal week, we were invited over to Brenda's house for dinner (Barbara and Grady's daughter, mother of Nikki and Cassie) and a time of fellowship. Some people had school work, prior engagements, or feeling under the weather, and some other things (but we need not get into everything!), but we had 3 go over for the evening. Cassie was in town for Thanksgiving, and as always, our visit over at their home was a blessing. We should continue as a ministry to be in prayer both for Cassie (she is getting ready to be on phase 2 of 4 at House of Hope in Clayton, which means she can come to church on weekends.), and for Brenda and Nikki as well, just for their family to grow in the Lord and be blessed by His grace.
Also, I write this particularly for the women, I would encourage you to befriend Cassie at some point while she is home over Christmas, if you haven't already. She should be moving back home sometime next summer (May-June, I think), and when she does she will be a member of the College/Young Adult Ministry. She loves the Lord, loves sharing the Gospel (Grady's grand-daughter loves sharing the gospel, go figure), and I think it would be a mutual blessing for anyone to bond with her and help to welcome her into our ministry (as well as the other people coming up, but with her not being at home all the time, it makes it more of an obstacle to really create a relationship there.)

Would the class like something like a Michael's gift card?
A Love Project- want to help out?
This is a handout I'm giving to the Sunday School classes explaining what this is (excluding who the family is) and what I'm asking of them. If you feel led to help out, look at the very last paragraph and check out the donation section starting with the Women's NIV Study Bible.
And feel free to contact me either through Facebook or the phone numbers/email address below.

A Love Project
As a Sunday school class, please pray if you believe this is a cause you would like help. If you feel led otherwise, that is okay!
Over the past few months, God has laid it on my heart to help a family that I know. The father works full time as a manager at a fast food restaurant and the mother is terminally ill. They have only one son, who is seventeen and a senior in High School. He has been through many severe emotional problems regarding his home life, but has recently started attending church.
Below is a large list of gifts. I want this to be a wonderful Christmas for them; to show this family in need that there isn’t just “someone” out there to help them, but that “someone” is completely able and wants to help them. I want this family to see God’s awesome and mysterious love.

I know Phillip suggested that Walmart would be cheaper than Michael's for gift cards, but could you find out where the people shopping like to do their shopping? Thanks.
