Hello Folks,
I got back from Pastor's Fellowship 2013 at Winchester, Ky late last night. Ruth and I look forward to getting to be at the Fellowship every year. We have attended since 1980 and have only missed 2 of them in that time. Through the years it has served as a time when we can go and have our spirits renewed and our hearts filled with the wonders of God's truth. This year was no different! The preaching was spirit filled as well as the singing. The different individuals who preached brought their personalities and methods of presentation with them when they stepped into the pulpit. But you could also see that they had prepared and that God blessed them as they preached the Word. What a joy it was to hear such people as Arlo Newell, Bill Neece, Charles Heater, Darryl Allen, Bill Means, and Dave Hall who have been used powerfully of God in the past. Then to hear Rick Hays and Ray Wyant who I had never heard before was a joy for my heart. God used these individuals to fill me up. On top of that the fellowship with friends of the past and people who I had met for the first time was a real blessing. I pray that you will consider attending this event, it is for anyone who would show up, next year the first Monday and Tuesday of May at Winchester, Ky First Church of God.
This year Brother Bill Neece had to preach sitting down but God still filled him up with the Spirit. Brother Neece has some kind of lung disease that is affecting his ability to breathe if he exerts himself. But what a sermon! The anointing of God was present and as he preached my heart was filled with joy of being a follow of Christ. In the next few days the sermons will be placed on the Greeneville First Church of God website and you can listen to all eight sermons. You would be blessed if you would listen to them. If you want to purchase a set of CD's or DVD's e-mail me and I will get you and address to contact.
May He bless you all today,
HGRudd
