There is much attention given today on the concept of being “woke.”
The grammar issues notwithstanding :), the idea is that some people believe themselves to be more in tune with the social problems of our day while others choose to remain oblivious to them. This has been a sore spot of division and disagreement in our culture.
Perhaps a better term to use, where all of us could agree, is the importance of being “aware.” And just what is it that we should be aware of?
Brennan Manning said, “I believe that the real difference in the American church is not between conservatives and liberals, fundamentalists and charismatics, or Republicans and Democrats. The real difference is between the aware and the unaware.
When somebody is aware of the love that the Father has for Jesus,
that person is spontaneously grateful. Cries of thankfulness become the dominant characteristic of the interior life, and the byproduct of gratitude is joy. We’re not joyful and then become grateful — we’re grateful, and that makes us joyful.
This Thanksgiving season, may we all be more “aware,” and may that awareness make us truly grateful, and thus truly joyful.
With love, Pastor Scott
Here at SRBC we collect a Fellowship Offering on the 3rd Sunday of every month. This offering is used for emergency needs and financial assisstance for those in need. This has been a great ministry of our church through the years, and we just want to remind you that we are continuing to collect this offering. There is a basket marked Fellowship Fund on the communion table, or you may send in your offering specified as Fellowship Fund. We still focus on the offering on the 3rd Sunday, but you may give at any time.
Your giving Matters !

Our church Council gave approval for our church to participate in a neighborhood ministry sponsored by Hope4Riverside and in connection with an organization called Neighborhood Bridges.
The concept is simple. You can sign up to be notified of needs of school students that are brought to attention by school advocates such as school counselors, social workers or administrators. You will receive an email with details of that need, such as a pair of shoes, or clothing or financial assistance with something. If you feel led to meet that need, you can indicate on the email how you want to do that and then that need will be removed from the list. The easiest way for you to participate is to go yourself to the website; [email protected]. The instructions to subscribe are clear. Please notify Pastor Scott if you have any questions.

AWANA MINUTE
Awana is for children age 2 – 12th grade. We meet Wednesday nights from 6:05 – 7:30 PM.
Wow, it’s November already and the leaves are beginning to decorate the ground, and the trees are showing off their new colors. We are a busy club on Wednesday evenings. Our clubbers are busy learning, laughing, singing, and enjoying club. We’re in the season of Thanksgiving. With that said Thank you to all who support our club thru prayer, encouragement, and faithfully showing up and helping the experience happen each week!
October was a busy month in the life of our club. Oct 12 clubbers and leaders assembled 150 shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. Thank you for the helping hands that gave a few minutes to help assemble the boxes.
October 19 clubbers and leaders arrived eager to sport the self-generated hair styles in support of our theme “crazy hair night”. Having fun while Bible learning complete with prizes and yes, some interesting hair.
The 26th kicked off our pantry nights as clubbers bring in nonperishable food items to help restock our church’s food pantry. We also enjoyed parties, fun and food for Fall Fun night.
November will focus on giving, clubbers can fill shoe boxes for Operation Christmas child, and continue bringing in non-perishable food items to give love and food to the needy in our Church, neighborhood, and community for the holidays.
There will be NO club Wednesday November 23 a time that we should all slow down and celebrate with our family and friends. Club will resume Wednesday November 30, where we will also open the 1st Awana store of the year for clubbers to get their “Shop On”!
We are grateful that our church supports Awana as we can see God working in clubbers lives. Thank you to all who help clubbers learn God’s word, so they can hide it in their hearts and apply it to their daily lives!
We ask that you continue to partner with us by praying for everyone involved in club and that we’ll reach clubbers and their families through the teaching and memorization of God's Word, and for future clubbers.
Thank-you for your continued support in this ministry!

We are looking for someone who would be willing to serve as an apprentice for the job of church treasurer. Our long-time treasurer, Rick Taylor, would train you in the tasks of taking care of the church's bills and bank accounts. If you are interested, please see Pastor Scott.
At Dayton Christian School, we boldly proclaim a Christian worldview in all that we do. We seek to prepare our students for life by providing strong,Christ-centered, Biblically-based academics, a full spectrum of athletics, excellent fine arts, and a multitude of service opportunities. Along the way, our students are impacted daily by our “living curriculum” – our faculty and staff living out their own walk of faith before them. As a result, our students learn to seek God’s truth for their own lives. A DCS graduate is prepared for college or the career world and ready to impact their world in a God-honoring way.
