Hannah is a young, female Husky & Border Collie mix. Volunteers say “She’s the nicest dog you’ll ever meet” due to her sweet and loving disposition. This Husky mix gets quite excited when she sees a human friend coming toward her with a leash and when you are outdoors, Hannah is by your side. Hannah has inner beauty as well as outer beauty. Her inner beauty shows as she always has a smile on her face with an upbeat attitude and the outer beauty of course, is her beautiful shaggy coat. Call or email anytime.

“WHY JESUS CAME”
(First in an Advent series) “For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost” - Luke l9:10
There is a very revealing statement in Luke l5:1 as follows: “Now tax collectors and ‘sinners’ were all gathered around to hear him.” It tells us Jesus (as His critics pointed out) was a “friend of sinners” (Luke l5:2) … which explains why they loved Him so much. Rather than condemn persons as hopeless sinners, Jesus thought of them as persons who had lost their way.
Examples: • A sheep was lost through other interests (Luke l5:3-7) • A coin was lost through idleness (Luke l5:8-10) • A son was lost through selfish desires (Luke l5:11-24) • Another son was lost through envy and resentment

(Luke l5:25-32)
• A tax collector was lost through greed and dishonesty (Luke l9:1-9)
The story is told of a teenage girl who ran away from home. Her parents were hopeful when news came she was seen in Dallas, Texas. The girl’s father and pastor went looking for her, day and night, but could not find her. So they gave up searching for her. A few days later, however, she surfaced in Washington, D.C. She had heard somehow that her father was looking for her. Touched by his love, she called him wanting to go home. Her father was on the next flight to bring her back. The point: God sent Jesus into the world to bring us home to God. And that is why Jesus came. Good news: He is looking for you! Prayer: Here I am, Lord, I am coming home to You. Amen. Peace to you and please join us for worship this Sunday in a church where Jesus’ love is lived.

James R. “Bird” PAYNE
AGE 57 – NILES James passed away suddenly, but of natural causes, on Wednesday, November 19, 2014, at Lakeland Hospital in St. Joseph, Michigan. He was born on February 16, 1957 in Martin, Michigan and raised by his mother Elizabeth Ann (Lee) Clark. James graduated from Martin High School and soon after joined the U.S. Navy, where he served his country proudly during the Vietnam War. After many years of service, James received his honorable discharge. He worked as a fabricator and welder for Fab-N-Weld Sheetmetal in Berrien Springs. He also enjoyed his work with the APA Pool League. James was so loyal to employers; many would say he had an addiction to work. He also loved riding his Harley with his friends, bowling, golfing, shooting pool, playing video games, spending time with family and friends and weekend breakfast with Doc and Kay. He also liked quiet time, sitting in a chair with a Louie L’Amour book. In 1982 James married Pamela Wery and to that union a son Justin was born. Although the marriage ended a few years later, the two of them remained lifelong friends. Sometime later, James married Susan Harris and helped raise her daughters as if they were his own. He was preceded in death by his mother Elizabeth A. Clark, a brother Joe Rocha and a son Travis Thompson. James is survived by his son Justin Payne (Ellen VanKirk) of Niles, three daughters; Nikki Tittle-Chapman of St. Joe, Jesika Chester of Niles and Mindy TempletonRuiz of Elkhart, three nieces Crystal, Elizabeth and Heather Rocha, and a grandfather to Gillian, Breeanna and Travis, as well as countless friends. A time of visitation to celebrate James’ life will be held on Sunday, November 30th from 5:00pm until 7:00pm at Brown Funeral Home, Niles, MI Full military honors will be held at Ft. Custer National Cemetery in Augusta, Michigan on Monday, December 1st, 2014 at 10:30am. Memorial contributions may be made in James’ memory to Wounded Warrior Project, Disabled American Veterans or to the American Diabetes Association.

NOVEMBER is...Homelessness Awareness Month As I write this article today, I am working from home ~ SNOW DAY. Imagine not having a home to work from ~ ANY DAY.
As people come for help at Christian Neighbors, we ask about their housing situation. If a family is homeless, they share with us if they are living with friends/family or if their situation would be considered inhabitable, such as living out of their car or perhaps sleeping outside. Of the two situations, we might think that some situations are better, and given the opportunity, living with friends or family would be preferred. Unfortunately, when I met Tanya that was not the case.
Tanya had served in the military since she graduated from high school. Many budget cuts were being made throughout the government and with that the military had started downsizing. After 11 years of service, her job was cut. She had been out to sea when her husband was deployed with the reserves and their 4 children were living with her parents here in Michigan. With 10 days to pack up her family and find them somewhere to live (most of that time spent on the boat back to land), she chose to live in the same area as her sister. The cost of living was lower and they thought they would be able to find jobs quickly. The situation was not what she had expected at all. Her sister gave her a walk-in closet for her and her family to live in. Shortly after they settled into the closet they were given, her husband returned from deployment. He wasn’t back very long when they were told they needed to find other arrangements. Desperate to get out of their living situation, they tried to find an apartment to rent. They had their stipends from the time they had served, but without jobs and a steady income, they were unable to find someone willing to rent to them.
They invested part of their money into a mobile home and lived there until they eventually got jobs. Until they were back on their feet, they frequently had to make use of food pantries and soup kitchens to get by. After 3 years they have established stable careers and were recently able to purchase a home of their own.
Every story is different. Families that are homeless are unemployed and employed. They are active military or Veterans, businessmen, high school graduates, and people with disabilities. They are seniors. They are children.
Since the first of the year, Christian Neighbors has served 70 homeless individuals or families (169 people) with a variety of services. We have taken some of these precious people through our food pantry, helped to complete and file homeless verification forms for one of our local subsidized housing units, paid back utility bills, or helped with first month rent into a local apartment. Without your help we would not be able to help families like Tanya’s. During this season of thankfulness…..we are asking you to consider helping. Any financial gift will be investing into a family, allowing them a fresh start. Can you help today?
