Humor-Filled Faith Message: “Behold, I Stand at the Door and Knock, Knock”


On Saturday, October 13, 2018, at the Woodville Congregational Church, 5868 County Road 120, Woodville, N.Y., Jennie Mantle will present “Behold, I Stand at the Door and Knock, Knock,” a humorous look at how a relationship with Jesus can lift one up from sorrow and discouragement. Participants will be asked to respond to a series of “Knock, Knock” requests that sparks words of wisdom and comfort from the Bible. The program is free to attend.

The Woodville Congregational Church Women will offer a complimentary breakfast from 9 am to 9:45 am; the program runs from 10 am to 12 pm.

“We all have times of sorrow and challenges. It helps to laugh, even if you cry first, and it helps to know Jesus is always there in whatever situation you find yourself. The Bible serves as our ‘Life’s How-To Manual’,” Mantle says.

She credits attending Camp Aldersgate as a child for developing a foundation for her cheerful outlook on life challenges. Mantle now helps provide Christian hospitality to hundreds of visitors, from college-age runners to families with children with cancer, at the camp and retreat center in Greig, N.Y. 

The October 13 program is a presentation of Live More Ministries, a Christian women’s outreach program offered quarterly at churches throughout the Jefferson County area. For more information, contact Chris at 315-767-2058,  or sallyj@twcny.rr.com
