Hello Folks,
Resurrection Day was wonderful here at Greeneville First Church of God! Our worship was amazing, the choir gave marvelous praise to the King of Kings and the attendance was very good with 686 here to worship. I met two new couples who came to our Easter Worship because they had been at the Drama and decided that they wanted to come to see what we were like as a congregation in our worship. God has used the Drama to reach people for Him and to help those who are here to grow in Him and in our love for each other. He is absolutely amazing and He always does far more than we think can be done!
I want to ask you to pray for a friend of mine by he name of Ed Long. Ruth worked with him a number of years ago when she drove a school bus and I was privileged to lead him to Lord when he was in the hospital with throat cancer. Over the last 15-18 years he has battled with that cancer as it reoccured in his life. It appears that he has come to the last miles of life here but due to his commitment to Jesus he can look forward to an eternal home where he will never deal with cancer again. Unless the Lord intervenes and heals his physical body he will be going to his eternal home soon. Pray for him and his family. Ruth and a woman at our congregation in Illinois, Becky Dixon, were used by God to lead his wife, Toddy, to the Lord.
Pastor's Fellowship is coming next week so I will not be writing a blog on next Tuesday. I always look forward to Pastor's Fellowship and believe that some of the best preaching in the Reformaiton Movement takes place there. As part of that ministry a new magazine has replaced Reformation Witness with the name Truth Matters. The first edition has come out through Reformation Publishers. The new editor is Jeannette Flynn and I believe we will have an opportunty to do some things that will have real impact upon the Kingdom. By the way you can go on line and read the magazine by going to Reformation Publishers website and if you want a hard copy you can also order through Reformation Publishers. For those who are part of this congregation Anita Miller has an article in it about how truth matters to teens.
You folks have a great week in the Lord.

Yours in Christ,

Pastor H. G. Rudd
