†October is National Breast Cancer month. If you are the 1 in 8 women that will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, an early detection plan is the best way to take action to detect the disease in its early stages. The Early Detection Plan is an interactive tool to help remind women to utilize the foundational early detection methods, breast self – exam, mammogram, and clinical breast exam. By answering a few simple questions, NBCF (National Breast Cancer Foundation) provides a recommended early detection plan including a flexible reminder system using email notifications, calendars, text messages, etc. For more information, log on to www.mypinkplan.com.

† Think about this…If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day. If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say "I love you”, instead of assuming you would KNOW I do. If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away. For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right.
There will always be another day to say "I love you”, And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do?"But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day, that you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish. So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear. Take time to say "I'm sorry,” "Please forgive me,” "Thank you,” or "It's okay.” And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.

Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
WORDS FROM THE PASTOR
We serve an on-time God: wouldn't you agree? So, let’s all make a special effort to be on-time for church! We put forth a lot of effort to be on time for our jobs, appointments and other events that we consider to be important. But God should be at the top of our priority list. Let us keep in mind that God gave us His best. Doesn't He deserve our best in return?
INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT
Give and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you. Luke 6:38
