Editor reserves the right to edit for content and space. DOING OUR PART You are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 1 Corinthians 12:27 Before my left big toe was amputated, I had never really thought much about my toes. I quickly learned what a difference losing one big toe can make. Once it was gone, I walked with a limp, and it was difficult to keep my balance. I now realize that even the smallest member of my body is important to the proper functioning of the whole. Similarly, the body of Christ has no insignificant members; all God s children are needed for the body to work properly. If one part is missing or injured, the church s effectiveness is hindered. As Christians, together we are God s hands, mouth, feet and toes! God wants to use all of us with our unique gifts and talents to do the work of the kingdom: teaching God s word; helping the poor, needy, and sick; reaching out to those who are lost. To be complete, the body of Christ needs the skills and talents each of us can offer. We pray Dear Lord that you will please show us how we can be involved in the work you are doing on this earth! GOD NEEDS WHAT I HAVE TO OFFER Paula Davis, Alabama

Please send these addresses to the Church Office. We have a group of ladies in the church who would love to send words of encouragement, love, and thinking of you cards and letters to the students and military men and women. They also send a care package to our military personnel. Please help us collect these addresses so we can become an encouraging support system for these loved ones. NEW MEMBERS Please give a Centennial Baptist Church welcome to our newest members: Sharon Munford Peggy & Mitzi Rosen We were also blessed with 17 visitors during the month of October. God is still at work in our church. Pray for future blessings.
