Hurt People HURT PEOPLE

I was watching two 5-year-old boys while their mothers went shopping. They were
having a fun time playing together until one of the children threw a ball that
accidentally struck the other on the nose.
The boy who was hurt scolded his friend and said, You can never come over to
my house again! Is it true, I asked, that you never want your friend to come over
again? No, the boy responded. But when someone hurts me, I say mean things
to them.
Then he asked, Would you show me how not to say mean things to people when
they hurt me? I went from awe at this 5-year-olds self-awareness and repentant
heart to a painful realization that Im not qualified to teach this lesson. For Im often
prone to respond the same way; when someone hurts me, I sometimes use words to
hurt back.
Lashing out at others can be a sign that something is wrong with us. Dont allow
your hurt pride to lead you to hurt others. Proverbs 17: 9 - speaks of a healthy
response to those who wrong us. Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but
dwelling on it separates close friends. Solomon wrote, If you repay good with evil,
evil will never leave your house (V 13). If we forgive rather than using harsh words
as revenge, we will glorify God and restore relationships. (Copied)

We are excited about some new
changes coming to the nursery!
First, Pam Bewley and Kristen
Shultz will be working the nursery
every Sunday morning. We hope
that adding some consistency will
improve our ability to care for your
little ones. Secondly, we will be
making some renovations to the
current nursery area. We hope to
update and revamp some of the toys
and amenities, as well as expand
and add an addition in order to make
room for all of our new arrivals! If
you are interested in helping, we
currently need volunteers to help in
the PM services. Please contact
Pam Bewley if you are interested in
serving our littlest church members!
Thanks, RCOG Nursery

FROM THE PASTOR
ANNOUNCEMENTS AND INFORMATION
August 17, 2014
April 8, 2012
We know with certainty that the Bible is the inspired
Word of God. Today, your child will learn that the
Bible is more than just facts and history. The Bible is
inspired; its very words came from God's mouth. That
means the men who wrote it were guided by God's
Holy Spirit to write the truth. The Bible brings us to a
saving faith in God through His Son Jesus Christ.

All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for
teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in
righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16

Thank You for supporting the Russellville Church of
God Childrens Ministries.

PLEASE NOTE- NEW WORSHIP MINISTRY

We are very excited to announce the beginning of a
new worship ministry! Incorporating the gift of sign
language with interpretive movements to music
provides a powerful ministry to worship our Savior.
For more information we will have a meeting on
Sunday August 31
st
upstairs following the a.m.
service or contact Kim Nash.

Pastor Jonathons Word of The Week
The greatest encouragement throughout the
Bible is God's love for His lost race and the
willingness of Christ, the eternal Son, to show
forth that love in God's plan of redemption.
The love of Jesus is so inclusive that it knows
no boundaries. At the point where we stop
caring and loving, Jesus is still there loving
and caring ~ A.W. Tozer

~Jonathon
