With so many demands of raising a family and making a living who in the world has time to also deal with the trials of this life? As if this life wasn’t beating you down enough, you and I also have to deal with the constant concern of whether or not our spiritual lives are measuring up. Well in the above passage there are three key principles that we are to remember whenever we find ourselves in the clutches of this life’s difficult situations. First things first, the bible wants you to know that no matter what you are going through; ‘You are not alone.’ That’s right. There is no situation, trial, test or circumstance that you are currently going through that someone else has not made it through. This is good news because that means you can use the past failures, weaknesses, strengths and wisdom of others past in order to experience success in your present. Secondly, the bible wants you to know that God will not allow you to go through anything that you can’t handle. In other words the things you cannot handle, He would not put in your life but the things you think you cannot handle, He knows you can. That is why He allowed them into your life. Like a parent watching their child from a distance and instead of swooping down to rescue them, they pause to see how the child handles themselves. Well how do we know that God has not made a mistake? Simple, He is God. He doesn’t make mistakes. Remember the verse says He is faithful and His faithfulness is not dependent upon your faithfulness. In fact His faithfulness has anticipated ad still works in response to your unfaithfulness. Take heart because not only are you not alone, but ‘God is watching over you.’ Finally, don’t let the pain of your past or present paralyze you, don’t let the condition of your circumstance(s) confine you but remember that in every situation God has already prepared a way of escape, it’s just up to you to find it. And while this escape may not rescue you from the trial, or deliver you from your discomfort it will enable you to endure it while you wait on God to navigate you out of it. In other words we find in this life that when we are going through the trials of this life, we are not alone, God is watching over you and He will make a way for YOU!

Our teens are growing together in fellowship and spiritual growth. They have chosen a group name, LBC (Led By Christ) and a group verse, 1 Timothy 4:12. We are so thankful for the amazing things God is doing in this ministry. In the coming months our youth will be putting together fundraisers to try and raise the fees to attend Youth Arctic Blast Retreat in January at Grace Adventures! They are excited at the possibility of this experience. Please watch announcements for more information in the coming weeks. Youth group is every Sunday at 5pm6:30pm in the KLC fellowship hall and includes dinner, fellowship and a lesson. All 6th-12th grade girls and boys are welcome to attend! See Brother Bambi Ngubeni with questions ([email protected]). Praise and Worship Can you sing? Play an instrument? Is music your way of worship to the Lord? Not sure what to do or who to talk to? Well you’re in luck, the Praise and Worship Team has put together an application for those who are interested in trying out. They are available for pick up on Sundays. Please see Sis Rebecca Nobles or Sis Theresa Bouyer or send an email to [email protected] for more information. Page 6 KLC Newsletter Page 6 Kingdom Kid’s Children Ministry By Sis Denise Ngubeni Our Kingdom Kids ministry is growing as we are blessed with an increasing number of families with children attending Sunday services. With this increase comes a continual need for volunteers to watch over our infants and teach our toddlers - 5th graders. We have made some changes thanks to a generous donation of some wonderful curriculum for our toddler-5th grade classrooms. Each week your kids will be bringing home a folder with a sheet explaining what they learned and some activities/discussion items for you to have with them. When they return their folder with the sheet initialed by a parent the next week, they get a point. They also get one point for attendance. We will be having 2-3 Kingdom Kids parties each year, where the kids can spend their points on some great prizes or gift items. We have also made changes to our teaching model. In order to give our children some consistency from week to week, our teachers will be scheduled one month at a time and then off for two months. This new schedule paired with the new curriculum will do wonderful things for our ability to share the Word of God with our children and their families. If you have an interest in helping in the nursery or as a monthly teacher, please sign up on the sheet in back. Contact Sis. Denise Ngubeni ([email protected] ) with any questions.
