This book is a thoughtful, comprehensive analysis of American culture. Positive in nature, but spot-on in applying biblical and common sense to identifying weaknesses and suggesting solutions in areas such as passivity, education, age segregation, work ethic, consumerism, travel, and reading. Thought-provoking and challenging, especially for parents. Loading the Operation Christmas Child boxes after church for transport to our area collection center will be done after church services. Help in the assembly line will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! 325 2nd St. | Eaton, CO 80615 | 970.454.2481 | eatoncc.org | info@eatoncc.org WELCOME NOVEMBER 12, 2017 Organ Prelude Welcome & Announcements Dedication of the Boxes for Operation Christmas Child Memory Verse Psalm 51:17 “My Faith Looks Up to Thee” Hymn #84 John 6:68-69, “…Lord, to whom shall we go?
