Hello everyone!

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It's hard to believe that this Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent. If all goes well, we ought to have a festive service this Sunday as we learn about the Christian meaning of our Christmas symbols/decorations, while enjoying singing numerous carols. This is a great service to invite friends and family.

Hope you enjoy the newsletter!

See you Sunday!

Pastor Bruce

It Ain’t Over ..Until God Says..It’s Over!

Ezekiel 37:1-4  (Click here to listen Audio Bible now.)

CommunionMeditation:

“Giving Thanks in The Midst of Betrayal” Based upon I Corinthians (chapter 11)   “On the night in which He was betrayed…our Lord took bread…and when He had given thanks…” 

What a wonderful Lord we serve!  Here He is—knowing that He would be betrayed by Judas—knowing He would be persecuted, tortured, and killed—and He takes time to thank God the Father.  Wow!  What love; what focus; what courage!.....Click here for full article

About Our Current Pastor

January 2012 - Rev. Bruce R. Sandy

OMBC extends the warmest welcome to Rev. Bruce R. Sandy who now serves as our pastor, January 2012 - Present. Rev. Bruce is married to Bettylou Sandy, who supports her husband's ministry with a heart of love and kindness. Despite their one hour journey twice weekly, they remain commited to the cause. Their faithfulness has been greatly appreciated. Rev. Bruce regards the Old Mystic Baptist Chuch as "God's Acitvity in Old Mystic".

We meet together as a family to worship our Lord, and to support and encourage each other as we grow together in the knowledge and love of Jesus.

We support various missions and evangelism outreach projects such as Operations Christmas Child and Camp Wightman.

Whatever you send me, Lord, I will accept.

My response may be clumsy, or even inept.

But I know you want only the best for me, too.

So with your help, I'll do what you want me to do.

-Peggy Ferrell

Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face; and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.

“This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.”- 1 John 4:9
