Title: Abide and Bear Fruit

Scripture: John 15:1-11 “I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me. Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father. I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!”

Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child Shoe Boxes are available today– take as many as you can fill. This is all about Jesus! By filling ordinary shoeboxes full of new toys, supplies and school items, you can be part of taking the gospel around the world. Local believers in more than 100 nations hand out these gifts at festive outreach events where the Good News is included in the box in their language and the Christmas Story is presented in a child-friendly way. Each box bursting with items such as a flat soccer ball/pump, doll, puzzle, or stuffed animal becomes a tangible expression of God’s love to the child. Every box counts as it means another child is invited to attend the jubilee. YOU CAN DO THIS ONLINE for $30 each— Go to our website for the link so we can count your box and meet our goal. If you want to give but need help, designate your giving accordingly. Want to follow your box destination? Activate the shipping label online when you pay your shipping. Each box has a $10 shipping fee. “Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap.” Luke 6:38

Grace Kids are packing 200 boxes next Sunday! What a wonderful way to teach giving, missions and thinking of others! Can you help with their shipping fees?

Prayer Path & Swing Notice the beautiful area outdoors set up for prayer and peaceful time with the Lord. The swing is in loving memory of Carol Mullis, who loved hospitality on Hilton Head Island and Grace Community Church. Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”
