Table of Contents:

We have all lost something during some point in our lives. We’ve misplaced our keys. We have forgotten our watches or our wallets. We may even have lost a pet dog or cat once. What did we do when we noticed that these things were missing? Did we search for them? Often it depends on the need or the urgency at the time. If it’s something we need, we start searching right away.

What about people that are lost? What do we do when we discover a person is missing? What if our son, daughter, husband or wife mysteriously disappeared? Would we search for them? Of course we would. Our family is near and dear to our hearts and minds. They are not something that can be replaced. They are an important part of our lives. We would spend as much time and money as necessary to find our loved ones and bring them home.

We’ve seen posters in Wal-Mart stores, post offices and on the windows of restaurants explaining that a child or loved one is lost and needs to be found. We’ve made it a part of our culture by bringing missing persons to the forefront of our television news programs. We’ve determined that searching for people is so important, our government agencies have set up special task forces that include police and fire departments. Today, we even have a system known as the Amber Alert to assist with finding children. People are important to us, and we dedicate our money, time and talents to search for those who are lost.

In Matthew 15:24, Jesus says that he “was sent only to the lost sheep.” He was not here for those who were already saved, but for those who were lost. So, who did Jesus focus his attention on? Did he spend all His time in the temples to convert the Jews? No. He spent His time talking with tax collectors, prostitutes, thieves and other people considered to be at the bottom of society. He spoke to those who lacked moral and ethical values. He spoke to sinners and those who had lost their way. In Luke 19, Jesus spoke to Zachaeus, a tax collector, and rejoiced when Zachaeus found the way. Jesus spent most of his life searching for the lost and rejoicing when He found them.

Just as the shepherd chooses to leave the 99 sheep behind and search for the 1 in the wilderness, it is up to us to do the same. The 99 left behind will congregate and form their own bond. They will be safe for a time while the lost is sought. In the same way, we are all missionaries who must leave this building, and enter the mission field of the real world. It is up to us to actively engage in the search for the lost and find those who truly need your help.

The problem lies with our own lack of desire to start the search. Sometimes, it’s a lack of confidence in our speaking ability. Sometimes, it’s a fear of embarrassment. Rarely is it a lack of opportunity. Can I challenge you? Begin the search today. You can make the difference of eternity for someone standing near you.

Blessings, Pastor Bob

“Come Believing God for a Miracle”

2000 years ago jesus was born in a manager, because there was no room for them in the inn.Today, millions of people have no room for Jesus in their lives. It seems as if they have a sign on their heart that says:No room available.What about you? Is there room for Christ in your life today?

“Do  you  know  who  you  are?  God  made  you  a  woman.  Accept  His  giK.  Don't  be  afraid  to  be  feminine  and  to  add  physical  and  spiritual  loveliness  to  the  seMng  where  He  has  placed  you.  You  are  a  child  of  God.  You  are  a  part  of  the  bride  of  Christ.  You  belong  to  the  King-­‐-­‐you  are  royalty.  Dress  and  conduct  yourself  in  a  way  that  reflects  your  high  and  holy  calling.  God  has  called  you  out  of  this  world's  system-­‐-­‐don't  let  the  world  press  you  into  its  mold.  Don't  think,  dress,  or  act  like  the  world;  inwardly  and  outwardly,  let  others  see  the  difference  He  makes  in  your  life.”  ―  Nancy  Leigh  DeMoss,  Lies  Women  Believe:  And  the  Truth  that  Sets  Them  Free  

 Whether  married  or  single,  you  can  make  an  indelible  impact  on  every  person  you  meet;  let  it  be  a  posiAve  one.    As  a  woman,  you  have  the  opportunity  to  see  intuiAvely,  to  walk  into  any  situaAon  and  breathe  life.    Remember,  the  words  you  speak  can  either  build  up  or  destroy.  

Choose  today  to  speak  life  over  your  children,  your  husband,  and  your  close  friends.    Choose  today  to  use  your  lips  to  bless  and  honour  God,  

to  encourage  other  women  and  to  speak  life  over  our  younger  women.    Choose  today  to  be  friendlier  and  to  be  intenAonal  in  building  friendships.    Friendship  is  God’s  idea,  and  as  a  woman,  you  were  created  for  connecAon  and  relaAonships.

The  Women's  Ministry  strives  to  bring  women  of  all  ages  together  with  the  purpose  of  encouraging  and  connecAng.    Each  event  is  designed  to  encourage  and  foster  such  relaAonships.    Our  desire  is  to  see  women  grow  and  mature  in  their  relaAonship  with  Jesus  Christ,  and  to  live  out  their  faith  at  home,  in  the  marketplace  and  in  their  local  communiAes.  

As  part  of  our  community  outreach,  we  have  supported  Elisa  House  Women’s  shelter,  in  Etobicoke.  The  women  of  GKM  donated  personal  care  items  for  the  women  at  the  shelter,  this  year,  we  will  be  partnering  with  them  again.    Thank  you  for  your  generous  giKs.    We  also  sent  a  team  to  Newlife  Girls’  Home  in  Trenton.  The  women  shared  tesAmonies,  life  stories  and  leK  a  giK  of  flags  for  the  young  ladies  to  use  during  their  worship  Ame.    In  the  future,  we  are  hoping  to  partner  with  other  community  groups  to  bring  life  to  the  women  in  our  city.

We  invite  you  to  join  us  for  our  upcoming  event:

Saturday,  November  10th  at  10am    –  “Are You a Teacup or a Mug?” Don’t  forget  to  sign  up  and  remember  to  invite  a  few  of  your  girlfriends. Pastor  Elly  Morin

Our Vision:Life with Jesus - Everyday, Everywhere.

1. Beat 1/3 cup shortening and butter on medium speed 30 seconds. Add sugar and baking powder, then egg, milk, and vanilla. Beat in cocoa powder and as much flour as you can with mixer. Stir in remaining flour. Divide dough in half. Cover; chill at least 1 hour.

2. Preheat oven to 375 degree F. Working with one portion of dough at a time, roll to slightly less than 1/4-inch thickness on lightly floured surface. Using a 4-inch candy-cane-shape cutter, cut dough. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven 7 to 9 minutes or until firm and lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheet; cool on a wire rack.

3. Heat white chocolate and 2 teaspoons shortening in a small saucepan over low heat till melted, stirring often. (Add more shortening, if necessary, for drizzling consistency.) Drizzle one cookie with chocolate mixture; sprinkle with candy. Repeat with remaining cookies. Let stand till set. Makes about 36 cookies.

Directions:

1/3 cup shortening 1/3 cup butter (no substitutes) 3/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 egg 2 tablespoons milk 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 4 ounces white chocolate 2 - 4 teaspoons shortening 1/2 - 2/3 cup crushed peppermint candy canes

Ingredients:
