1 November 2018 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. -Psalm 100 The News

Many of us have been through tough times in recent years, and have discovered that God is faithful even in the midst of tragedy, heartache and loss. At FPCA, we seek to follow Jesus in order to transform our lives and see our very society transformed as well. With current events revealing the divisions in the fabric of our country, Christians are called to be those who mend hearts, reconcile people, and heal brokenness. Christ s Church is utterly essential to healing the divisions in our country. Will you support Christ s kingdom work through FPCA in 2019? Thank you for returning a pledge card to express your prayerful support of the Lord s mission and ministry at First Presbyterian. Session votes to move forward with PILP loan for flat roofs. Congregational vote scheduled for Sunday, 11/18, at noon. With the severe rains in North Texas, many of you are aware of the leaks in our building and of our desperate need to repair the flat roofs on our building. As we have wrestled with our insurance company over claims for both the shingled and the flat roofs, we have evaluated our immediate needs to move forward. We now know there will be no insurance money for the flat roofs, and little if any for the shingled roofs. On September 27, because of the immediate need, the Session voted to make a loan request from our 2
3 denomination s Presbyterian Investment and Loan Program (PILP), who offers excellent terms on loans to its member churches. We just found out (10/25) that they have approved our loan request, pending approval by Grace Presbytery and by our congregation. We have scheduled a congregational meeting for Nov. 18 th at noon to vote on the approval for this loan, the collateral for which is our existing building. The congregation must vote on any encumbrance of the property, and that will be done at this congregational meeting. We have worked hard over the years to avoid long-term loans on our property, but we have little choice in the current situation, and this loan to quickly repair our flat roofs will save us money on additional water damage to our property. We are glad for this opportunity to move forward on a project that needed to be done decades ago. Further details about the loan, its terms, payments, etc. will be made available at the congregational meeting. Please pray that we are able to repair these roofs in a timely fashion in order to continue God s kingdom work in the ministry of First Presbyterian Church of Arlington. Praise the Lord for the offer of excellent terms of the loan available to us through PILP, and pray that we also could pay off the loan in a timely fashion. Faithfully yours in Christ, Pastor Rich McDermott Thanksgiving Fellowship Dinner Come one, come all to the Thanksgiving Dinner on Sunday, November 18, at 6:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall.

Is it a struggle to help your teen develop a personal devotional life? I believe that it s more important than ever for teens to establish their own life-long spiritual path. If teens can develop healthy spiritual rhythms now, they will be more likely to continue them as they head into adulthood. Below are a few tips for helping your pre-teen or teen develop their own time with God. 1. Encourage your teen in making their quiet time real. Teens today are tired of anything fake. They are faced with pressures, worries, and fears that go beyond what this generation of adults has ever faced. Superficial, surface-y devotionals simply won t meet their needs. They long for the hard truth, unexpurgated, because that s what they face every day of their life. Come alongside your teen to help them figure out how to make their time with the Lord effective and purposeful, and time that will help them deal with the pressures of life. 2. Model quiet time with the Lord. Does your pre-teen or teen see you spending time with Jesus? If you aren t spending time with the Lord, and your teen knows it, they will be quick to brush off your encouragement for them to spend time alone with God. If you don t spend daily time with Jesus, start now. 3. Steer your pre-teen toward resources that will meet them where they are at. Keep in mind they live in a digital generation. If reading a devotional online will keep them focused and engaged, and if they will do that before reading a hard copy, that s okay. There are amazing resources out there, including Good Morning Girls and Good Morning Guys an amazing online Bible study where participants read through the Bible one chapter at a time. I m praying for you and your family. Helping your teen develop a personal devotional life is one of the best legacies you can leave, and one they will carry with them into adulthood.

Last month we told you about the impact that increased collaboration has made on better determining how many language communities are still waiting to gain access to God s Word in the language they understand best. This month we want to tell you about another aspect of Bible translation. Mission Frontiers devoted most of their September-October 2018 issue to Wycliffe Bible Translators, with articles on how translation is expanding Bible translation in efficiency, extent, and flexibility. These articles deal with matters dear to our hearts as the members we serve in our roles on the Care Team are involved in areas mentioned in every article of this issue of Mission Frontiers. This month we re praising God for Brett s time at the Sept Global Member Care Conference in Quito was just as full, busy, challenging, and beneficial as he thought it would be. Praise God with us for all he learned, for the connections he made, for uneventful travel and good health, for information learned that he continues to process as it relates to serving members of Wycliffe USA. For the ongoing ministry of the Wycliffe USA members that Marla serves. Two members have faced particularly challenging times. One returned last week to Africa, and one will return later this month to the Pacific islands area. Marla s heart sings with joy every time she clears a member to return to field! Our very faithful ministry partners! Your prayer and financial partnership allows us to continue serving with Wycliffe. We are deeply grateful! 8
9 If you d like to pray for us, here s what s on our hearts this month Brett will be traveling once again as he represents Wycliffe USA at the sixteen: fifteen Mission Agency Consultation: Engaging the Church, Pursuing the Nations conference in Albuquerque from October. Please pray God would empower him in every way as he represents Wycliffe and engages with fellow conference attendees. Pray Marla would balance her responsibilities well, especially during Brett s absence. Marla s dad arrives in Washington today, Tuesday, 2 October. This will be the first time he s seen the house since our initial move in. While his schedule is a bit fragmented over the next month, pray he will begin settling well into his new home in Washington state. Your word, Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.
