FREE THANKSGIVING MEAL!

There is such a thing as a free lunch.

Come on by the Crab Shack this Thursday for some turkey and all the fixings.

You can bring a covered dish to share if you like, but even if you don't have anything to bring - we'll have plenty of food, come on by and enjoy lunch out by the river with your family.

We might even have some boat tours of the river available (depending on how many generous boat owners show up).

Send us an Email if you know of someone who could use a little extra help with food this season or if you'd like to volunteer to help with this feast Thursday.

Sunday is for Surfers - Bryan Jennings - Walking on Water

I met Bryan one time when he was coming through St. Augustine.

He's got a good thing going here:

Walking on Water

Be a Grocery Giver This Weekend @ Providence

We're collecting food to share with our community during these difficult economic times. We'll be delivering gift baskets the week of Thanksgiving and will be packing and storing them at the Outback Crab Shack. Bring some canned goods to Providence the next two Sundays or drop them by the Crab Shack this week. If you know of someone in our community who could use some extra food, or if you could use some yourself, send us an email and include the families name, address, phone# and the number of people in the home.

Also, this weekend, we'll be wrapping up our series TXT MSG. This might be the most important message of the series. If you really get and apply what we're talking about this Sunday it will flat out change your life. Don't miss it. Pray for our services, get there early and bring a friend.

5 months earlier, Ronald Reagan stood in front of that wall and said this:

BLC

Join us this week at Providence for breakfast before our 8:30 service at Outback Crab Shack and/or lunch after our 11:00 service at Wards Creek Elementary School.

Both meals are old-fashioned covered dish, so get grandma's cookbook down and whip up something yummy to share!

If it's chilly Sunday morning, we'll eat and have service inside with the heaters at the Crab Shack.

Proverbs 27 and a Volcano

Last week, Mikey was reading Proverbs 27 along with some other folks from Providence. We're reading a Proverb a day, that coincides with the date - so today was Proverbs 5.
We looked up and saw this:

We saw lava all night, but when the sun came out, all you could see was the smoke trail from the lava flowing down the side.

TXT MSG

We're in the midst of a series called TXT MSG at Providence right now.

If God sent you a text message, would you read it? Read it?1 You'd probably memorize it, make a t-shirt with the 140characters on it and hang it in a plaque on a wall in your house!

Here's one of my favorite preachers, John Piper, talking about memorizing scripture:

"P"umpkin

Don't just carve a Jack-O-Lantern.

Carve a "P"umpkin this year and invite all the little Phineases and Ferbs that come to your door to Providence. Give 'em some good candy a couple P tattoos, and some invite cards that we'll give you this Sunday at Providence.
