Hello Folks,
The work in Camp Creek and adjourning areas continues after the tornado. There are still many people who have not recovered from the destruction of their homes and deaths in their families. I ask you to pray for them as they continue to deal with all that these kinds of issues entail. I am also thankful for the many who are still giving of themselves to provide meals and labor. A lot of folks from this congregation are still doing all they can to make a difference in our community and I praise the Lord for their willingness to help.
This past week I was able to be part of the Pastor's Fellowship again. I hve been attending there since 1980 and find it to be a place where the traditional message of the Church of God is still being preached. This has always been of great joy for me and I find it to be a spiritual blessing in my life. While I was there I saw three of the past pastor's of this congregation: Charles Heater, Leroy Oesch and Darryl Sovine. I am thankful for the way all three of them invested their lives into this congregation and I am a director recipient of their efforts. I pray that God would continue to bless and use them.
You may not know it but a young lady in our congregation, Danielle Ricker, has been ranked #1 in the nation in the Walking Horse Youth 121-17 catagory. She won 13 of the competitions she entered and came in second in the other two. I would like to congratulate her on her wonderful success. I pray that God will use her to bring glory to Him through her endeavors.

Blessings to all,

Pastor H. G. Rudd
