Food Pantry Needs for Oct.

From Jon Reynolds 2 Corinthians 10:5 “We demolish arguments and every

pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of

God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to

Christ.”

I wish I could say that I had mastered this

verse. In fact, it is probably the most overlooked and ignored passage in scripture. The idea that we can control

every thought seems overwhelming. If you are like me, then your mind wanders

when focus and resolve is required. That term “captive” means to conquer, force into submission, or capture every thought

and make it obedient to Christ.

There is an old saying that speaks of this truth, “The battle begins in your mind.”

Our mind controls our actions and so we, as Christians, must manage our thoughts until Christ is first in every part of our

lives.

“Transformation” week 3 There are handouts with the lesson outline at the main entrance to the auditorium, and also in the four auditorium wall racks. You may want to keep them in a folder to refer to during the week. Extra copies of each lesson will be available at the Life Group table in the foyer each week, in case you miss one. Also, as a reminder, there is an optional workbook that goes along with the series. If you wish to order one, go to the following link to order a copy. http://www.saddlebackresources.com/collections/transformed

Life Groups meet tonight.

Flawless Retreat Your children are amazing!

In spite of cold and wet weather our

retreat was simply “flawless.” Warm

hearts and perfect praise made this

retreat one to remember.

We don’t have an article from our Hispanic minister,

Wilfredo Salvatierra, today since he is in Dallas on a

speaking engagement. Please pray for his travel safety.

Registration Brochures are NOW available at Sign-Up Central.

Deadline to register is Sunday, Oct. 25

If your schedule doesn’t allow you to be there for the whole time, then come join us for as long as you can. There will be a retreat planning meeting this Wednes-day night at 6:00 for anyone who would like to help in room 211.

Room-In-The-Inn..... .....will resume in November. Please be thinking ahead

how you can help in this important ministry. Watch for upcoming announcements.

Haywood Elementary Needs Our Help The school will be hosting their annual event called

Haywood Harvest on Saturday, October 24. They are in need of donations of blankets, clothing, toys, household items and miscellaneous for their BIG give-away. If you

have items to donate, please bring them to the box marked with their school name in the foyer.

Thank You Note Dear Rural Hill Family, I want to thank everyone for the cards and letters they have sent. And for the people that have visited me. It means so much to me and Billy to know we are in your thoughts and prayers. We haven’t been able to attend church recently. I miss being with everyone on Sunday. Hope to be back soon, Love, Sharon Vaughn

Thought for the Day God wants us to stretch our dreams and goals.

Ephesians 3:20-21 (NIV)

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all

we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work

within us, 21

to him be glory in the church and in Christ

Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Special Thanks to an amazing staff. We are truly blessed to have so many teens that are passionately developing authentic relationships with Jesus. It was good to see many of our youth show Spiritual leadership among their peers. The worship times were so uplifting and encouraging. Also, our theme seemed to really connect with our young people. May God continue to bless our youth at Rural Hill.
