Week 38 of 52 Hebrew Words Every Christian Should Know by Dave Adamson: “Ohr” = light. The Hebrew word means “to illuminate” or “to dispel darkness.” Jesus seized upon this image and referred to both himself and his followers as “the light of the world.” The apostle John also had a lot to say about light in the darkness. Consider the useful purposes of light, for the ancients and for us: safety, security, warmth, improved vision, even sustaining life. Are we having this kind of impact on the world around us?

MCC News:  MCC’s Phase II is starting tomorrow for our Sunday school kids. The guidelines are mostly what you would expect, but parents can see the specific details on our website (and we might post them here later in the comments).

Tomorrow is also the day our kids (including the ones who are too old for Phase II Sunday school) can help pack shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. Thanks to all of you who have donated. If you missed out on the shoeboxes, or if you are looking for more opportunities to be generous during the holidays, we will switch to Angel Tree next week as usual.

The Strunas are back! But they are quarantining with Kim for the next two weeks. Thank you to Will for bringing them home from the Miami airport yesterday. They will be at church on Sunday, 11/29 and also Sunday, 12/6. I hope you will be able to connect with Chris and Sharon somehow before they head back to Honduras soon.

MCC Do-Gooders: Here’s an opportunity to help just by making connections. I am trying to find two cars, one temporary and one permanent. I have a friend who needs a reasonably priced, reliable car with good AC. Also, we are looking for a car that our missionary friends could use for several weeks from late November until the start of 2021. Please contact me if you have an idea for either car.

Please join us for worship at Melbourne Community Church this weekend, however you can. The live service begins at 9:00 AM, and it is live streamed on our YouTube channel. The full service is available on our website after that.

Our “virtual foyer” Zoom meeting has settled into a steady group of attenders who connect briefly (about 45 minutes) after the worship service. Newcomers are always welcome. Please contact me any way you can if you would like to join us this Sunday.
