We have other needs that we will be helping with before Christmas. Please continue to pray and ask God to use The Well Church to bless those in need.
We are so thankful for how the Lord has used our church to bless so many. This is the vision that we received when we started The Well. And because of your desire to respond to God's call, we are able to do these things and many more to come.
You are all showing your faith through the generous compassion for your fellow brothers and sisters. You are the salt and light of the earth.
We are planning to start a series by Jimmy Evans titled Marriage On The Rock. This teaching series will be held on Saturday's.

This week, Pastor Tim will lead our church in a message about the Christ Child, a gift from God.
Please Note: We will not be holding our normal Sunday Service on December 23rd. We will have the Christmas Eve service in lieu of.
This week we helped a single mother who is going through a challenging time. We helped her with her rent for this month and next and provided gift cards for groceries and Christmas gifts for her beautiful three year old daughter. Cindy and I met with this sweet lady, her daughter, her dad who came in from Chicago and her grandmother. Cindy and I could see the relief on her face when she received the help from The Well Church of Lewisville. This family prayed for our church and thanked the Lord with such cries of thankfulness right in the middle of a crowded Starbucks. She said, "This is the work of the Holy Spirit! He heard my prayers". Thank you all! I wish you could have been with us when we saw such joy!
We will also be assisting a school counselor, in the McKinney ISD, who has several children in need of shoes and other necessities. Sandra Scholten is coordinating this effort. If anyone would like to provide further assistance, please contract Sandra, Cindy, or Pastor Tim.
There is another family in need that we will be providing Christmas dinner for. This is a family that Roxanne Baker has brought to our attention. They love the Lord and have done so much for others, yet they barely have enough money to get by. We will be coordinating this effort with Roxanne.
We are also looking into funding water wells to be built in India through World Vision. We have not made any final decisions on this, but stay tuned. The Well may be purchasing a well that will provide clean water for many families for years to come in a foreign country.
Laura and Dallas recently hosted a parents night out. The kids had a great time making snowmen with marshmallows, playing games and doing crafts. Thank you Laura and Dallas for hosting this event!
As we approach Christmas in 2012 it is saddening to see this celebration, that was once centered on the birth of the savior of the world, continue to move toward the celebration of everything but Christ. As a church, how are we to respond? Our response must be to let other's know the real reason for Christmas. If the church isn't communicating this, no one is.
Let this be a time to bring the good news of the Savior of the world to the lost world! Let us celebrate Christ in a way that outshines the Christmas lights and the shiny bows.
This coming Sunday, Pastor Tim will continue the study of "Reaching the Lost". We will continue studying the parables of Matthew 25, which gives us a good understanding of Jesus' expectations for His followers.
As the body of Christ, we are called to help those in need. If there is anyone you may know who is in need of a hot meal, a little extra help on a bill or any other need that we might meet, please come prepared to discuss this Sunday.
