WELCOME KITS
We will be accepting kit donations at FBC until Sunday, November 28.
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

THANKS FOR GIVING BLOOD DRIVE
Sign up TODAY, November 21, before or after the Main Session.
Other activities that day include a flag football game led by Will Espedal, a family game room, treats, hot drinks, and childcare for donors while they donate.

Death can’t hold us down
We shout it out
We’re alive ’cause You’re alive
Sermon Study Guide
That You May Proclaim: Week Sixteen
Pastor Tim Walker
10As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace:
11whoever 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.
12Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.
13But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.
14If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.
15But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler.
16Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.
17For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?
18And “If the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
19Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.
1 Peter 4:10-19 ESV
1“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
2In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
4And you know the way to where I am going.”
5Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”
6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:1-6 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.
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
