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

Made Alive
O Come To The Altar
Here I Am To Worship
He Has Won
Made Alive
Verse 1
I once was dead in sin alone and hopeless
A child of wrath I walked condemned in darkness
But Your mercy brought new life
And in Your love and kindness
Raised me up with Christ and made me righteous
Chorus
You have bought me back with the riches of
Your amazing grace and relentless love
I’m made alive forever with You life forever
By Your grace I’m saved
(By Your grace I’m saved)
Verse 2
Lord You are the light that broke the darkness
You satisfy my soul when I am heartless
If ever I forget my true identity
Show me who I am and help me to believe
Bridge
My sin has been erased
I’ll never be the same
O Come To The Altar
Verse 1
Are you hurting and broken within
Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin
Jesus is calling
Have you come to the end of yourself
Do you thirst for a drink from the well
Jesus is calling
Chorus
O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
Verse 2
Leave behind your regrets and mistakes
Come today there’s no reason to wait
Jesus is calling
Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy
From the ashes a new life is born
Jesus is calling
Bridge
Oh what a Savior
Isn’t he wonderful
Sing alleluia Christ is risen
Bow down before him
For he is Lord of all
Sing alleluia Christ is risen
Verse 3
Bear your cross as you wait for the crown
Tell the world of the treasure you’ve found
Here I Am To Worship
Verse 1
Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes let me see
Beauty that made
This heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You
Chorus
So here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You’re my God
And You’re altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
Verse 2
King of all days
Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came
To the earth You created
All for love’s sake became poor
Bridge
And I’ll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
And I’ll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
He Has Won
Verse 1
To all who are the tired and the heavy laden
Hope has come
To all who feel the weight of the broken spirit
Hope has come
Lift up your eyes lift up your head
The power of our sin is dead
Chorus
(‘Cause) (Yes) He has won
Death is swallowed up in victory
Through the Son
The grave has lost its sting and its grip over me
Yes (‘Cause) He has won
(Yes He has won)
Verse 2
To those who seek the love of a perfect father
Hope has come
To those who see the light of the risen Savior
Hope has come
Lift up your eyes lift up your head
The power of our sin is dead
Bridge
Jesus has come Jesus has come
Sing it louder sing it louder
Jesus has won Jesus has won
Sing it louder sing it louder
Sermon Study Guide
That You May Proclaim: Week Fifteen
Pastor Tim Walker
1 Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
2 so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God.
3 For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry.
4 With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you;
5 but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6 For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.
7 The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.
8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.
9 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.
10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace:
11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 4:1-11 ESV
20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,
21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21 ESV

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.

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.
Their 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 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
