Read Hebrews 4:14-16

When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears,

and rescues them from all their troubles. The LORD isnear to the brokenhearted, and saves the crushed in

spirit.- Psalm 34: 17-18 (NRSV)

I have been single for many years. Since my childrenleft the nest, I have experienced bouts of loneliness and

depression. Simple tasks like grocery shopping for afamily on one can overwhelm me with despair.

One Saturday afternoon at the grocery store, I sorted

through the banana bin and found just the right bunch.

As I pulled off one banana that I didn't want and put it

back in the pile, I felt a deep, unexpected sadness. I

know what it's like to feel isolated, left out, and discon-

nected.

That day as I retrieved the single banana, I remem-

bered how God retrieves us. God understands our deep-

est needs; and in our loneliest times, God draws us close

in fellowship and love. We can rest

assured that we are God's precious

children, held gently in God's care.

Prayer: Thank you, God of comfort, for your constantpresence in our lives. Fill us with your love, your hope,and your promise.

Amen.

Thought for the Day:

Though we may feel left out, God retrieves us anddraws us close.

Prayer Focus:THOSE WHO FEEL LEFT OUT OF THE BUNCH

A SINGLE BANANA

She is a precious woman of God who loves the color purple.Grandma Purple always wears something purple (hats, shoes,dresses, jewelry).

On September 6, we honored Grandma Purple (i.e. Marga-ret Hammond) for all she does for others by wearing purple. Inher hometown of Thomasville, NC, Grandma Purple ministersto patients in hospitals by her visits andprayers for their healing. Just beingaround her will make you smile and feelbetter.

another success. We met so many peo-ple in those two days. Our banner dis-

ple were not Well but were familiar with Christ Cen-tral. Comments were positive in ex-pressing appreciation for the ChristCentral ministries of Aiken. I hope thatthose who visited our booth will nowhave a better idea of the ministry inWagener.

Tuesday, October 4, we will start a

new Bible study at 10:30. These studies have brought womentogether who would not otherwise be together. Our discussionsare scripture centered and our fellowships filled with fun andgood food. We welcome and invite all women from all denomi-nations to join us.

More events are on the calendar for October. The trip toHendersonville, NC for apple picking will take place the middleof October (13 or 20). We also will be exhibiting our handiwork

in Columbia on October 19 at theSC Christian Chamber of Com-merce. We plan to include break-fast at Brookland Baptist Churchon #378 that morning.

Until next month, Be Blessed.

As I stood at the bus stop waiting for our new crop of kids this school year, the neighbor-hood moms were lined up and down the sidewalk as well. They were lining upto place their children on a waiting list for our program-most of them beggingfar the Lord has brought us in a little over a year. We started tutoring under an

neighborhood and I give Him all the glory.

We currently have 16 K-5 th grade children enrolled in our after-schoolprogram with a waiting list of 18. The kids enjoy being transported to our new

location at Hope Plaza, Crossroads Church, twice a week. We look forward to seeing what the Lord will ac-complish in the lives of these children this year.

Why I Want My GEDIt has come to my attention, that many job opportunities are unavailable to me forthe simple fact I do not have a high school diploma. I plan to acquire my GED and attend a technicalschool before college. Nothing would make me happier than to be successful in the field of medicalsciences; however, only medical training facility requires a high school diploma or equivalent. Afterdropping out of high school to work full time, I soon realized it to be the worst decision I've ever made.

Although a high school diploma would have been the smarter easier choice, I am glad the GED pro-gram exists to aide people like myself in achieving a better life. A GED is the first stepping stone on mypath to a happy comfortable life. Without it, I am doomed to minimum wage work for the rest of my life.I have always aspired for greatness, but being under educated has severely stunted my financialgrowth.

There are many people that have helped me since I've been on my own. My most important goal forearning my GED is to return favor to these whom have aided me in my time of need. That is why Iwant my GED................this was submitted by a GED candidate.

Here is a report on my brother who is in a rehabilitation facility in Columbia with ChristCentral ministries (Bethel House). Addica is doing great. He left fort mill with nothing andhave gained everything which is wisdom from God. He was home for the weekend and wehad a family cookout he put together. It was really good to see him and I know he feltgood to see most of his family in the surrounding area and not have to do drugs to main-tain. Since he has been in the rehabilitation house they were able to show him how to getthe Air Force and his job was a chief airman mechanic but because of his addiction he wasdischarged. He worked for Bowater, Duke Power and Freightliner and so many more great

companies as a certified welder, but because

of this addiction he lost these positions. Hejust got another chance at employment withthe VA hospital. This is a temporary positionand he is praying they will hire him permanentso keep him in your prayers. Just would like tosay thank you for your support and GodBless...submitted by a family member.

CCM - Concessions of Hope

A group of us met this past Thursday. Next weekend will mark a year since Iwalked onto the Hope Plaza property. In the last year, I have met so many people andlearned many lessons. Larry and I met today. We sat in the plaza for over an hour. Thisweek, it was evident we need to firm up the foundation of our coffee shop. I told Larry we arebeing pruned. Over the last year, the need continues to minister to the homeless. Every day,people come to the plaza, seeking friendship, and a cup of coffee. They leave with both.

.God is teaching me to stay on the path that he as laid our

for me through His Word. I'm learning not to lose myselfand get caught up in the everyday battles of this world. I'm

focusing on keeping my eyes fixed on Christ and not let-

ting small insignificant things distract me. I have also

learned not to put limits on what God can do. think, hope,

and dream for big things.

Jesus is a friend to those who don't have friends. We

can count on Him through thick and thin and I love that I

can do that. I know sometimes it seems as if I am standingall alone but I will get through it because His grace, love

and mercy won't let me fall. God is there to help us carry on
