Transcript of Nov 2015 Newsletter
Newsletter of the United Church of Primghar November, 2015 Volume 11
November is really the month where we start to really
count our blessings. Harvest is ending, we have gotten
used to the school routine, the weather is cool, we are see-
ing the fruit of the seeds we have planted, and we take the
time to really be thankful for all that we have. We are finishing Lord’s Acre, cele-
brate Lord’s Harvest, and enjoy our families at Thanksgiving. And we prepare for
the winter to come.
The parsonage has been transformed. There is a new waterline, a new water soften-
er, new doors, a new refrigerator, a new stove, and the place has been painted. It is
amazing how the transformation has taken place, and we know that we are prepared
for winter. It is easy to let maintenance slip, but amazing how things can come to-
gether when it is really needed. This has been just one of my many blessings that I
have witnessed since arriving in O’Brien County.
But there is more to come. We have confirmation continuing, we have WWW go-
ing strong, we have Advent quickly approaching, and it seems there is always one
more meeting. God is great. God gives us some time to count our blessings, but
God also wants us to be prepared for what is to come. Celebrate the fruits we gath-
er, and as we give God’s share back to God, we know that God helps us plan so we
are provided for in the years to come.
~Blessings, Pastor Kris

If you are aware of someone in
need of a pastoral call, please
inform Pastor Kris on her cell
phone 712-344-2846 or leave a
message on the office phone,
957-4960. She would rather
hear from multiple sources than
from no one at all. In these
times of privacy rights, hospitals
and nursing homes may not di-
vulge information relating to a
resident or patient, so it is very
important that members and/or
their families let the Pastor
know of all needs for pastoral
care.
