Agape Meal Today: Every Communion Sunday, we share a meal together after the service. We warmly invite you to share in that with us today!

Quarterly Business Meeting Today: Join us after the worship service and Agape Meal this morning for our quarterly business meeting where we’ll discuss the good things the Lord has done as of late, and the things the Lord has in store for us in the coming months. 

Worldview Academy Registration: Worldview Academy is a dynamic ministry that equips students to defend the Christian faith against competing worldviews. Nowthen Alliance Church will be hosting a weekend event, November 10-11. Consider making this a priority as it will be an excellent opportunity for parents and students to grow in faith together.

Father-Daughter Dinner: The date of the big event for dads and their daughters is Saturday, November 18. Tickets will be on sale ($10 per household) at church today and next Sunday. Contact Pastor Kevin for more details.

All-Church Prayer Meeting Wednesday November 29: Join us from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at the Handke Center on Wednesday, November 29 for a concerted time of prayer for the ministries of GCF, our cities, and the spread of the gospel among the nations. If you have any prayer requests you’d like us to lift up before the Lord during this time, contact Carmen Gunderson at admin@gcfmn.org.


Next Week’s Fighter Verse 
I have been crucified with Christ.
It is no longer I who live,
but Christ who lives in me.
And the life I now live in the flesh
I live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave himself for me. 
Galatians 2:20

Reflective Glory: How the Moon Displays the Mercy of God

By
Our sun is a fitting metaphor for the glory of God. In the context of our solar system, it is massive, bright, beautiful, powerful, self-sufficient, heat-producing, life-giving, and dangerous. It is, by far, the dominant feature of our solar system and without it the system would fling apart and all living things therein would die.  On the other hand, our moon is a fitting metaphor for human beings, especially for those who believe in Jesus Christ. First, compared to the sun, the moon is tiny and dim. The sun is 400 times larger than the moon, its mass is 27 million times greater than the mass of the moon, and from our perspective its light shines 450,000 times brighter than that of the moon. The sun is so much greater than the moon that it’s difficult to quantify and express the difference. Likewise, the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, is so much great than each and all of us that it’s impossible to quantify or express the difference. Indeed, the Lord is very great and greatly...

When Children Say "I'm Bored" By Julie Lowe

By
This Article is written by Julie Lowe and was originally posted on the CCEF blog.  I highlighted the areas of particular interest. I had already prepared a blogpost on dealing with boredom from a Christian worldview and then came across this. There is much overlap between the two, perhaps this one is more concise while my work attempts to explain the connection between the ability to think and the ability to be happy. You can visit the original blogpost in the link provided below.  https://www.ccef.org/resources/blog/children-say-im-bored   We have a common crisis in our home; it is the calamity of boredom. Our children might even consider it a catastrophe. “I’m bored” is repeated so often it would not be an overstatement to say that these words echo continuously throughout our home especially during any break from school. These are children with limited media time but still children with a Wii and Xbox system, a pool outside our door, multiple games, toy...
