WELCOME KITS
Refugees and asylees often flee their homes at a moment’s notice. They arrive with few belongings and high hopes for the future. Arriving in a new place can also be unsettling for kids. Welcome Kits provide the basic household items people need as they begin a new journey in our community. Also, a kit of craft supplies can help kids feel welcome and wanted in their new community. For more information, visit: https://worldrelief.org/tricities/our-work/afghan-allies/
BUILD A KIT IN THREE EASY STEPS
1. Collect the items (new items only, please).
2. Include a welcome note for a family or for kids (depending on the type of kit you are building).
3. Deliver kits to FBC Richland: 1107 Wright Ave., Richland, WA 99354
Click here to view the flyer of suggested items
We will be accepting kit donations at FBC until Sunday, November 28.

With this heart open wide
From the depths from the heights
I will bring a sacrifice

With these hands lifted high
Hear my song hear my cry
I will bring a sacrifice
I will bring a sacrifice
Chorus
I lay me down
I’m not my own
I belong to You alone

Oh hand on my heart this much is true
There’s no life apart from You
Lay me down lay me down
(Oh lay me down lay me down)

Letting go of my pride
Giving up all my rights
Take this life and let it shine

When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace

Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You’ve never failed and You won’t start now

Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour

Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine

Sermon Study Guide
Dirty Clothes
Pastor Isaac Terry
As we leave on mission…
What must I do in response?
How does this truth apply to my life?
Personally?
As the church?
In my community?
What steps do I need to take to apply this?
(Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-based Goals)
To whom will I be accountable?
(reach out and ask… follow up)
The Christian life is designed to be transferred relationally and journeyed together. You need to “rope in”– brother to brother and sister to sister – on a weekly basis so that together we can draw near to God and join him in his kingdom work.
This is an exploration – commit and prepare for a long and rewarding journey.
To continue the conversation, email Pastor Isaac:

Ministry of the Month – November
Cam & Valerie Hamm
Wycliffe Bible Translators; residing in Alberta, Canada
Cam is from Ryley, Alberta, and Valerie is from Richland, Washington. Cam joined Wycliffe in 1995 and Valerie in 2000. They have three children, Noah, Elly, and Jojo.
Cam and Valerie are part of a large team assigned to a cluster of 10 related languages in Cameroon, called the Ndop Cluster. The team’s goal is to train local Christians to complete the task of Bible translation in all 10 languages in the cluster. All the languages have alphabets and literacy programs, while seven languages have some portions of Scripture translated and published.
Cam co-authored a partial description of the grammar of Bafanji with a linguistics student from Bafanji – they both learned lots! The Bafanji New Testament is now 80% complete. The present goal is to continue describing aspects of the grammar of the Bafanji language (Chufie’), and Cam plans to develop into a linguistics consultant. As they acquire a better understanding of the language, translators can be more aware of the unique capabilities of their languages to express the meaning of the Bible as it is translated. They work with Wycliffe Bible Translators to help give access to the Bible in minority languages of the world.
Cam and Valerie and family recently moved to Alberta, Canada where Cam is teaching at the Canada Institute of Linguistics (CanIL). Their family is in Canada until next July, Lord willing. Their email address is cameron_hamm@sil.org and their NEW mailing address is:
Cam and Valerie Hamm
101-19505 68A Avenue
Surrey, BC V4N 6K3
