1 November 27, 2016 Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship Welcomes You To Sunday Morning Worship CONTENTMENT PHILIPPIANS 4:11-13 Rev. Bobby Gibson Discipling The Church To Impact The World

2 Happy Thanksgiving Dear Church Family, First of all, on behalf of my wife Lois and myself, we hope you had a very Happy Thanksgiving. With all the turmoil and divisiveness around us, let us remember to continue to give thanks to our great God for all the good things He has done for us in spite of the many challenges that confront us. Secondly, let me express my apology for any inconvenience you may face with parking in light of our new construction. This is a great illustration of God taking a negative and opening the door for a blessing as we look forward to the completion of our core campus. We have never needed your commitment to Christ and involvement in our church more than now. We have a unique open door for spiritual impact that God has given us. Let s not waste this opportunity to Disciple the Church to Impact the World. As we seek to have transformed lives that transfer the values of the Kingdom of God, know that we will do all we can to minister to you with truth and love. In our moving forward, please pray that God will use this season to grow us deeper and make us effective in bringing the good news of Jesus Christ to a world in need. We thank you for patiently working with us as we go through this construction expansion and for your faithful financial support and service. We need both to meet our goals. God bless. In His Service, Pastor Tony Evans COMFORT & CARE Creating a Caring Community... SICK... BEREAVED...
