Next Sunday: Joy Adoption Grant Meal Fundraiser
Set a reminder for next Sunday October 20th. Our Refuge Youth Ministry will be serving a great meal in the youth room after our morning service. Your donations will fund our Joy Adoption Grant which will be awarded on Orphan Sunday November 10th. Invite a family to attend these special events and help us spread the word on orphan care and support.
Defeat is costly. The greatest price will be paid by the future generations, we can see the greatest defeat that takes place after the time of Joshua.
Judges 2:10 After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel. (NIV)

Questions for reflection:
How has your fight been lately?
Look at our lives, are we living in everything God has for us? Or are we drowning in worldly living?

The Church of Joy is honored to partner with Bethel Mission Outreach every year for its Shoe Boxes for Haiti Project. These "shoe boxes" are distributed on Christmas morning to local children and their families, and orphanages in southern Haiti.
Bethel Mission Outreach's goal is 1000 boxes across all of their ministry partners. Let's help them meet that goal!
This year, Joy will not be packing boxes, but rather, donating supplies to make and fill boxes.
