Closing Prayer
When he was reviled, he did not revile in return;
when he suffered, he did not threaten,
but continued entrusting himself
to him who judges justly.
I Peter 2:23
You know that he appeared in order to take away sins,
and in him there is no sin.
I John 3:5
These are written so that you may believe
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,
and that by believing you may
have life in his name.
John 20:31
“The Resurrection is the event
without which there is no Christianity,
without which there is not salvation,
without which there is no forgiveness,
without which there is no heaven.
The Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ
was the divine affirmation of His work
of atonement on the cross.
When God raised Jesus from the dead,
He was declaring that He was satisfied
by Jesus’ perfect sacrifice,
had accepted it as full payment
for the sins of His people.
Resurrection then demonstrates
that sin was atoned for,
death was conquered,
and eternal life is available
to those who believe the Gospel.”
John MacArthur
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ where I lie, Christ where I sit, Christ where I arise,
Christ in the heart of everyone
who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every one
who speaks to me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
Salvation is of the Lord.
Salvation is of the Christ.
May your salvation, Lord, be ever with us.

Dear members of the Lafayette Reformed Baptist Congregation:
I would like to extend our sincerest gratitude and thanks for your support of Grace’s Pantry through this recent Christmas Season. The needs have been great but our Lord’s ability to provide has been greater! With your assistance we were able to provide food baskets and Christmas gifts for 27 families in the northern Sussex County area. The back story is that we assisted an additional 24 families throughout the month with just our normal amount of help.
Even more impressively is that our shelves are currently well stocked as we head into the winter
season. Having said all of this, please allow me to add that hunger does not take a vacation. Shelves that are full today could very easily be depleted in only a few weeks. So I would ask that as the year proceeds that you keep Grace’s Pantry in prayer and when the opportunity arises please feel free to donate.
Again, Thank You! From Grace’s Pantry.
Douglas Mac Rae, Food Panty Coordinator
