Woodruff Church of God e-Edition Newsletter November 19, 2013

Pastors Notes: What a great weekend of ministry!!!! It started on Saturday with a great time of ministering to the needs of people. Several people gathered together to distribute 300 meals. Ham, macaroni & cheese, dressing (just to name a few things) were cooked and placed in "to go "boxes and delivered to needy individuals. What a great expression of the love of Jesus. Special thanks to Donna Burdette and the Extreme Kidz Ministry for heading this up. Also, thank you to some of our youth and music department that joined in to help. We thank all those that prepared the food, prepared the boxes and went out to make the deliveries. You are making a difference for the Kingdom of God!!!!! Then Sunday morning, ACTS Student Ministries did an amazing job leading us in worship. They were in charge of the entire service. The dramas were great, the singing was anointed and the message brought by Pastor Jason was absolutely ON TIME! I hope many people joined in and began to pick up the mantles. Thank you Pastor Jason and your staff for providing for us such a wonderful and meaningful service. Finally, on Sunday night, we sang and testified for almost 2 hours. What a great way to focus on being thankful .....taking time to testify for what the Lord has done in our lives. We found out that God has done great things in marriages, in physical healing, in providing children through adoption.... WOW, what a mighty God we serve. This coming Sunday morning, we will be giving an opportunity for Church Membership. If you are born again and wish to unite with the Woodruff Church of God, please meet Pastor Terry at 9:30 AM in the CLC Council Room. Come in the door marked "STAFF" and go into the room directly in front of you. Let me be among the first to say WELCOME to the family! Sunday night, we will be partaking in Communion together. This is another great way to focus on being thankful. We will take time to reflect on the Lord's great sacrifice and offer thanks for His broken body and shed blood. I hope you will make your plans now to be with us on Sunday night. Our custom during the week of Thanksgiving, is to move our Wednesday night service to Tuesday evening. This gives families a little more time together as well as gives an opportunity for travel time should you be required to travel. This year, we have been asked to join together with the Woodruff Baptist Association and

have also been asked to be part of the program. Pam Garrett will be singing and Pastor Terry will be delivering the Word. So our service will be transferred to Cavins Baptist Church, Tuesday night November 26th at 7:00 PM. Please make your plans to be part of the meeting and support this community service effort. Thank you in advance for being there! If you want your infant to be in the baby parade this year on December 15th, please see Jollene Priester. Thank you! Please use the cloak room for coats, hats and umbrellas only. Do not store other items in the cloak room. We need this space to look nice at all times as visitors may pass by. Thank you! Prayer List
