Hello Folks,
I got back in town yesterday afternoon after being at Pastor's Fellowship in Winchester, Ky. I have been attending there since 1980 and have only missed 2 years that I can remember. This event has filled my heart with great joy over the years and has helped me to grow up in Jesus. This year is no different even though there were different preachers and themes. What a joy to be with my brothers and sisters at that place.
Last Sunday night we dismissed our worship with the directive that all of you that could should go out into the community to help the tornado victims and at least 100 of you did exactly that. What an amazing group of people you are! God has allowed me the joy of being your pastor and of seeing your efforts to be ambassadors for Jesus in the community. Some still out there today helping in many different ways.
Something else that you should know about is that we took up a food offering to help The Oaks, a Free Will Baptist ministry, to purchase food to provide meals for those who were effected by the tornado. We have sent them $2715.10 for that purpose. We also took up our normal "Other's Offering" and designated it all to go to help the tornado victims. Today a local business gave us a $500.00 and with that we have a total of $3866.35 to help families who are dealing with their losses due to the tornado. You folks are just wonderful and I am thankful for you.
Continue praying for the needs in this community. I pray that He will bless you all.

Pastor H. G. Rudd
