BLANKET NANAIMO
During the month of November we're collecting sleeping bags, tarps, emergency blankets, and items such as gloves, socks, toques--things to help people living on the street stay warm during cold weather. Please no comforters or afghan-style blankets (they take a long time to dry and end up being abandoned.) You can bring donations to the Galaxy lobby on Sunday mornings or drop them off during the week at 5665 Dustin Place in Nanaimo. Simply leave them on the front porch, no need to knock. Thanks in advance for your generosity, TMP!
FIRST STEPS
First Steps is a class to find answers to questions like “Who is Jesus?” and “What’s the Bible anyway?” Maybe you're at the very beginning of your journey with God, and you're not even sure if you believe in God. We want to help you take your first steps on that journey, and that’s what we talk about in First Steps. (It’s free just like all our classes & lunch is included.) It's happening on Sunday, November 23rd from 12:30-2:00pm @The Underground and you can sign up here.
TUESDAY MEN'S GROUP
Come hang out with us for an hour every Tuesday morning from 7-8am on Zoom. Email men@themeetingplace.org to get the link. Can’t make it every week? That’s ok, join us when you can.
WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY
We'll be looking at some of the parables (stories Jesus told) in the Bible. This study is great for new Bible readers as well as those very familiar with it. We'll learn a lot about Jesus through his parables, and get to know each other better, too. Please bring: a Bible & a copy of "Parables: The Mysteries of God's Kingdom Revealed Through the Stories Jesus Told" by John MacArthur. It costs $25 and is available on Amazon. Worksheets will be provided.
TWO opportunities! Monday evenings, 6:30 to 8:30pm and Wednesday mornings, 10:00am to noon. Questions? Email otterfox4@hotmail.com

~ FROM THE MESSAGE ~
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. - Romans 12:2
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." - Matthew 6:19-21
“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!" - Matthew 6:22-23
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” - Matthew 6:24
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." - Matthew 6:19-21
“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!" - Matthew 6:22-23
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” - Matthew 6:24
~ COFFEE QUESTIONS ~
1. What’s something you owned that at the time you thought you couldn’t live without? (DVD Player, pair of designer jeans, etc)
2. Read Romans 12:2. What are some “patterns of this world” when it comes to money and possessions, and how can a renewed mind help us live differently?
3. Read Matthew 6:19-20. Jesus contrasts storing treasures on earth with storing treasures in heaven. What are some examples of each, and what makes one temporary and the other eternal?
4. Read Matthew 6:21. How does what you value most shape the direction of your life and decisions? What does this verse reveal about the connection between our faith and our finances?
5. Read Matthew 6:22–23. Jesus says if our eyes are healthy, our whole body will be full of light. How might our “focus” or “vision” get clouded by materialism? What does it look like to have “healthy eyes” in a culture obsessed with more?
6. Read Matthew 6:24. Why do you think Jesus framed this as a matter of worship rather than just money management? What does serving God (rather than money) look like in everyday, practical terms?
