Pastor’s Notes
Sunday was another
GREAT day at Woodruff
Church of God. Three
more souls came to Christ and we received
5 new members. We’d like to welcome
Richard & Lori Crocker, Lyndsi Adams,
Thomas Peebles and Darryl Crowe.
WELCOME HOME! We are so honored
that they have united with us and are looking forward to great ministry together.

The service Sunday night was absolutely wonderful. Great things happen when God’s
people praise Him. Although the service was differently put together, the praise was
fantastic and the presence of the Lord was AWESOME! Many have commented that the
service was “just for them” because of things they are going through or facing. God is an
“on time God, yes He is…”!!!!!! Don’t forget that you do not have to be in a church
service to praise Him. Praise Him in your car, in the bed, in the yard…. wherever….
JUST PRAISE HIM!!!!!

If you receive this by email, then you know today is the

day to vote. I hope and trust that if you are registered to
vote, you will participate in the election. I read that
usually only 43% of the registered people vote during
an “off year” election. That means that less than ½ the
people decide what the rest of the people have to live
with. NO GOOD! You’ve been given the privilege to
vote and whether you think so or not, YOUR VOTE
DOES COUNT. So go to the polls and vote your values!

I failed to mention this last week but want to this week. The newly reorganized class
called RECONNECT, started a new series of lessons
dealing with prayer. The series is called “Seven
Steps To A Deeper Prayer Life”. If you have an
interest in prayer or want to have a deeper prayer life,
you would be welcomed to join in this class during
these lessons. You will enjoy the ministry of Brad
Burnett and Danny Knight. Once you come into the
lobby of the church, just follow the “RECONNECT”
signs.
 We will be paying special honor to all Veterans and their
families in the service Sunday Morning. Please join us in
church Sunday so that we can pay special honor to these great
men and women. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!!

This Thursday evening at 8:00 PM, the General Overseer of the

Church of God will be doing a first for a General Overseer. He will be doing a
“WEBCAST” via the internet. He will be answering questions that have been submitted
by mail or email. If you are interested in this, the web address is www.churchofgod.org
and there is a “webcast” banner to click. Again, that is this Thursday at 8:00 PM.

We are manning the clothes closet the month of November. I’m sure that Alysia Hayes
would love MORE HELP! What a wonderful opportunity to
spend a few hours fellowships with some fellow church people,
working for the Lord and ministering to our community. If you
would like to help, please sign the list in the long hall as you
leave the church lobby.

In just a couple of weeks, we will be feeding the Fellowship of

Christian Athletes. Wednesday morning,, November 17th is the
date. We need help in getting the drinks prepared, laying
all the food out and most of all, being a smiling, Christ
filled presence! This will be held in Woodruff 1st Baptist
Church Fellowship Area (same as last year). You would
probably need to be there by 6:15 AM to help get
everything organized. The breakfast starts at 7:00 AM. If
you would like to help, see Pastor Terry.

BABY DEDICATION is planned for Sunday,

November 21st during the AM service. Please understand, that baby dedication is a very
spiritual thing. It is an act of presenting the baby to the
Lord with the understanding that the one’s presenting the
baby will be responsible for the spiritual nurturing and
upbringing of the baby. For that to happen, the people
bringing the child to the Lord need to be believer’s
themselves (are at least one of them). I hope you
understand. Please make sure that you meet the criteria
before committing to this. Once you know that the
spiritual side if covered, make sure you contact the
church office (476-2977) and leave the proper
information to our secretary.
MARK YOUR CALENDAR - Special Thanksgiving Service…..Tuesday, November
23rd at 7:00 PM. As is our custom, we will move our Wednesday evening service that
week to Tuesday evening. We will have a one hour service of Thanksgiving. Last year’s
service was WONDERFUL. Mark your calendar, invite your friends and family and
come and thank God for all His many blessings!

Thanks to everyone who made “TRUNK OR TREAT” a huge success. We gave out 388
hotdogs and had many, many more people than that who went through for the candy. We
showed our community genuine love and kindness! Thanks for all you did. Special
thanks to the Children’s Ministry for sponsoring this event, cooking the hotdogs and
popcorn. Thanks to all their workers and volunteers!!!!!
 CHILDREN’S CHURCH NEWS: Ages 6-12 will go bowling Saturday,
November 6th, so this age group needs to be at the church at 10:15 A.M. Ages 2-5 will
have a playtime in the gym from 10:30 - 12 Noon and lunch will be provided. The bus
will not run, so parents need to bring children to the CLC and plan to pick them up there
also. Children should bring socks! !

EXTREME KIDZ are taking donations to make “thankful baskets” for shut-ins for
Thanksgiving. They need packs of peanut butter crackers, travel size toiletries, sugar free

They also need COSTUMES from 1940,1950,1960,1970,1980, and 1990. If you have
any items from these time periods and would let the children use them, see Donna
Burdette or Deanna Burgess. Thanks in advance.
