Hello Folks,
We are already in the month of November and it appears to me that this year has raced by at an exceptionally fast pace. The month of October was Pastor's Appreciation Month and I would like to thank all of you for your wonderful cards, gifts and your kind words. It is a pleasure for me to be the pastor of this congregation and I pray that God will enable us to move forward to build the kingdom of God and this local congregation for His glory. Last Sunday night after worship there was a celebration time for "Pastor's Appreciation" and I want to all of you who made it possible. Thank you David Dotson our Steward of Fellowship and your wonderful team that did so much work in making that come about. I really loved the baked potatoes and the time with all of you.
In the month of November I will be preaching about the family starting Nov 14 and if you would like to invite your friends to come during that time it is a wonderful opportunity for them to hear God's plan for the family. On Nov. 14 I will preach "The First Earthly Family" and look at what took place with that family and how we can learn from it. This is often a great time to invite people that you know to be part of our worship.
Starting Nov. 28 through Dec. 19 I will be preaching on The King. The sermons will be: Nov. 28 "The Family of the King"; Dec 5 "The Coming of the King"; Dec 12 "The Purpose of the King" and Dec. 19 "Relationship with the King". We will be providing invitations that I hope you will use and help us make this Advent a time of reaching people for the King.
Last Saturday the Choir had a get-together at Locust Springs and I really enjoyed the time of fellowship and celebration. Dale Gruver and those who worked so hard to make it a great time helped me enjoy our choir members and their families.

May the Lord Bless you all,

Pastor HGRudd
