Pastors Notes:

Well, we are halfway through

our Community Revival. I dont
know what everybody else
thinks, but spiritually speaking, I believe this has
been one of the best weve had. There has been such a sweet spirit that is so discernable. The
singing has been geared towards ministering to the people and putting them in the best position to
hear and respond to the Word. Both messages have been truly REVIVAL geared in trying to get
the CHURCH to turn to their first love. If we the church will listen, we can experience renewal &
refreshing. Will you pray for tonights service and Rev. Clarence Thomas and tomorrows service
and Rev. Andrew Shull? These could be the breakthrough services! I also want to thank those from
our congregation that have attended so far. We have had excellent attendance from our folks. I also
want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all those that worked so hard on Sunday. Many of our people
were working all afternoon in packing up sound equipment, setting up sound equipment, repacking
sound equipment. Many were also practicing in the community choir most of the afternoon as well.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE CAUSE OF CHRIST & HIS
KINGDOM!

This coming Sunday is National Senior Adult Day. We are thankful for the best group of Senior
Adults you could find anywhere and also thankful for the best Senior Adult Pastor you could find
anywhere. Can I get a hardy AMEN?!?!?!?!? They were ministering in the service this coming
Sunday morning. You do not want to miss this great time of ministry. Sunday School is as 9:45 AM
and worship is at 10:30. Make you plans to be with us!


CHURCH MEETING, October 5
th
at 5:00 PM This meeting is to give our yearly financial
report to church members or faithful financial supporters of the church.


The PAVILION is up!!!!! If you have not driven by our new property, drive by and see the
beginnings of the Pavilion. We are excited about the beginning of this project and are anxiously
awaiting the other parts of that project that will bring it to its completion.


We are excited to announce some changes to some things we have done in the recent past.
We truly feel that the way to see our church grow (winning souls, not transfer growth), will come by
making ourselves known to this community and doing what we can to impact them so we can share
the gospel with them. With that thought in mind, several things are in the workings:






Woodruff Church of God e-Edition Newsletter
September 23, 2014

1) Make our annual Trunk or Treat a bigger event While we have had many people come, we
think we can do it even bigger and better by moving it outside. We are checking to see if we can
block off the road in front of the church for safety purposes and have
things on both sides of the road. Being outside will enable us to reach
more people as well as be seen by more people. We are EXCITED
about this opportunity! Please be willing to volunteer and help in any
way that is needed.

2) Build on Miracle on Poole St. This was a special outreach that was led by our music ministry
but involves all ministries and the entire church. What a great opportunity to provide a meal, the
love of Jesus, gifts and the message of Christmas. Plans have already been made and the collection
of things is under way. Again, whatever is needed, please plan to participate and help us reach this
community for the Lord Jesus Christ! Here is a list of things we are looking for: Purse size tissue
packets, gum/mints, beef jerky, purse size hand sanitizer, men's combs, chapstick, car air fresheners,
chip clips. Thanks for your help and support!


3) Mission Bags September has been the month over the last 3 years that we have passed out
missions bags. We have asked that you take them and collect money in the bag over a 6 month
period. This year, our mission bag money is not going to another country. Our mission this year is
our BUILDING FUND! When you receive your mission bag, prayerfully, strategically,
consistently.place money in that bag. Spare changed, dollar bills, a set weekly amount, monthly
amount or whatever the Lord puts on your heart.

To help us make the greatest impact, we are going to move FALLFEST from October this year to the
Spring. It will be sometime the later part of April or first part of May. We are going to coordinate
the date to coincide with the ending of the money bag project. In other words, the day we bring our
missions bags(building fund offering) will be the Sunday of the SRPINGFEST weekend! So that all
the monies in the mission bags and all the profit from SPRINGFEST and the Vision offering we take
on the Sunday afternoon following SPRINGFEST will be a TOTAL amount raised for the Building
Fund!

By moving FALLFEST to the Spring, it allows us more time and energy to devote to the first two
events I mentioned. It also helps us all to not have some many things we are asked to donate to in
a row. It also spreads some major events throughout the calendar instead of having them all at the
same time. Those attending our meeting all felt this was a positive all the way around. WE ARE
EXCITED ABOUT IT!!!!!!

There will be a special meeting to set the date and to offer suggestions of new things that can be done
to SPRINGFEST on October 9
th
, at 7:00 PM. Meeting will be held in the dining area of the CLC.
A second meeting is planned for November 13, at 7:00 PM. Please mark your calendars and plan to
come and help us make this the most successful and vibrant festival we have ever had!

are starving, pastors cant afford to pastor and the country is worse than before. Please help
