He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." Luke 4:18 19 (NKJ) It is the vision of Mt. Olive to be a church that is intentional in its efforts to identify and meet the needs of broken, hurt and oppressed people in the greater Glen Allen area through the message and ministry of Jesus Christ. From the Pastor's Desk Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 25, 2010 is on the way. However, we as believers don't have to wait until that date to be thankful for all that God has done. We know that everyday is a day of thanksgiving. Start thanking God right now and watch God lift your spirit above your circumstances. Love, Pastor Thompson Welcome to the Mt.

2 KINGDOMTIED August 29 November 28 (The pulpit attire is Green) We are in the season of KINGDOMTIDE, the color of KINGDOMTIDE is GREEN. The color GREEN symbolizes growth. The cloths on the Communion table and podium are changed to coincide with each season of the Christian calendar. KING DOMTIDE runs from August 24 until Advent. KINGDOMTIDE is the newest of the seasons, dating no farther back than the late 1930 s. KINGDOMTIDE gives place for due attention to the eternal presence of Christ and His Kingship with the parallel emphasis upon our stewardship. Its emphasis on the kingship of Christ and His kingdom, challenges us in our daily lives and in every area of our existence. General Theme For This Quarter: THE INESCAPABLE GOD The study this quarter focuses on the nature of God as the first person of the Trinity (Father). Its three units look at Old Testament texts from the Exodus narrative and from the poetry of Psalm.

4 MOBC November is Adoption Month But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, Abba, Father! Galatians 4:4 6 (NKJV) EDUCATING THE COMMUNITY SPEAKING THE TRUTH.DISPELLING ADOPTION MYTHS MYTHS VS TRUTH All children in foster care are bad seeds. Each child is different and in care for different reasons. Only Cliff and Claire Huxtable can adopt. There s too much red tape to go through. It cost too much to Adopt. There are no African American families out there to adopt waiting children. I m single. I cannot adopt. When the child grows up, he/she will want to return to their birth parents. You can t mold a child who is over five years old. His/her values are already set. What is Adoption? Adoption is a social and legal process that establishes the relationship of parent and child between people who do not have this relationship by birth. It provides adoptive parents the same rights and obligations that exist between children and birth parents. The social process is often more complex than the legal process. Who can Adopt? You can become an adoptive parent even if: You are single You are divorced You are a working mother You have a modest income You have other children You live in an apartment You are over 40 years old You have a disability All types of families can adopt. The Adoption process is complex; but it s worth it, and we re here to assist you through it. There is a minimal if any costs for the adoption of many African American children and for most of the children for whom we work. African American families are out there. It s our job to educate; reach out; to recruit. Single parent families are a great resource for many waiting children. Many of our families are single families. Many children will want to find out who their birth parents are or where they come from but most often it s a desire to know heritage or to make a connection not a desire to return. We will help you understand that phenomenon and work through it. Human beings have the capacity to learn, grow, and change throughout their lifetime. Jacob Age 10 Jacob is a very young man with a beautiful smile and a contagious laugh. He is the 4 th of 6 siblings born to the same parents. Jacob has an interest in football, video games the computer. He aspires to write a book and have it published. He enjoys spending time outside playing with his friends. The young man requires parents that will devote a significant amount of attention to his school. Jacob has a fun loving personality and enjoys playing with children his age.

5 MOBC HOW TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST INTO YOUR HEART Perhaps while reading the announcements you realized you have never made a Christian commitment. Don t delay that decision! We encourage you to embrace God s love today and receive the salvation that only Jesus Christ gives. Here are five simple steps you can take to find assurance of salvation. 1. Recognize your need. The Bible tell us that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Rom. 3:23) All of us are sinners, and we must admit our need for a Savior. 2. Repent of your sins. Our sins create a wall that separates us from God. By confessing our sins and turning from them, you will find forgiveness. The Bible promises: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). 3. Believe in Jesus. God sent His only Son to die so that He could pay for all our sins. Put your faith in Him and believe in His power to save you. The Bible says, For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16). 4. Receive His salvation. God has given us a great gift in His Son, but we must receive His gift. Thank Him for loving and forgiving you, and ask Him to live in your heart. His promise to us is clear: But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God (John 1:12). 5. Confess your faith. The Bible assures us: If you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Rom. 10:9). You have been born again and are now part of God s family. Tell someone else what Jesus has done in your life! MOBC Marriage Enrichment Ministry Invites you to a Holiday Angel Affair Saturday, December 4, 6:00 pm Multi-Purpose Building Banquet Room ADULTS ONLY- Donations $5.00 We will collect your $5.00 donations each Sunday after the 8:00 am and 11:00 am worship services outside the Church office until Nov. 21, For further information please contact any member of the Marriage Ministry. Christian Education Personal Development Workshops: November and December is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year but not if negative emotions and bad memories take hold of your holidays. The holidays are packed with stress, and therefore provoke tons of depression and anxiety. But there is hope! To help you through the Holidays we will offer a workshop on Making Peace with Your Past. Join us on Monday, December 6, 7:00 pm, for our Leadership Council Meeting to find out how to make peace with your past. Presenter, Rev. Donna Mack Tatum. Everyone is invited to attend. CHURCH SCHOOL Church School is seeking two teachers for the following classes: Primary (ages 6 8) and Junior (ages 9 11).
