Pastors Notes:

I dont always do this but I just

feel led to this morning. I
wanted to give you the three
points I made in the Sunday evening service. I was
talking about how to get victory over things in your life. The text was from the book of Joshua.
They were about to go in and take Jericho. The only problem was this city had very high and very
thick walls. This was huge obstacle from taking the city. But the Lord told them they would have
victory. How do you get victory when there are obstacles in the way? 1) You have to know where
to go for help. The Lord should be the FIRST place we go, not the last place. He is our source of
help and power. 2) You must follow instructions. The Lord told Joshua how many times to have
the children of Israel walk around the walls. One time a day for 6 days, 7 times on the 7
th
day, be
quite except for the 7
th
time, then shout and blow the trumpets. Very specific instructions that may
not have made sense, but it was crucial to them having the victory. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!!!!
3) CLAIM the victory. It is one thing to be told you have the victory. It is another thing to claim it
for yourself. The walls fell flat, but they were still standing on the outside. They had to march in
and claim the citythey had to claim the victory. We may very well have to march over some stuff
that has fallen in front of us, but thats what we will have to do in order to get the victory. Some of
us need to claim some things by faithbefore we see the evidence. Some of us need to go ahead and
walk into the victory that is before us.

Woodruff Church of God e-Edition Newsletter
September 16, 2014

We are excited to announce some changes to some things we have done in the recent past.
We truly feel that the way to see our church grow (winning souls, not transfer growth), will come by
making ourselves known to this community and doing what we can to impact them so we can share
the gospel with them. With that thought in mind, several things are in the workings:

1) Make our annual Trunk or Treat a bigger event While we have had many people come, we
think we can do it even bigger and better by moving it outside. We are checking to see if we can
block off the road in front of the church for safety purposes and have
things on both sides of the road. Being outside will enable us to
reach more people as well as be seen by more people. We are
EXCITED about this opportunity! Please be willing to volunteer
and help in any way that is needed.

2) Build on Miracle on Poole St. This was a special outreach that was led by our music ministry
but involves all ministries and the entire church. What a great opportunity to provide a meal, the
love of Jesus, gifts and the message of Christmas. Plans have already been made and the collection
of things is under way. Again, whatever is needed, please plan to participate and help us reach this
community for the Lord Jesus Christ!

3) Mission Bags September has been the month over the last 3 years that we have passed out
missions bags. We have asked that you take them and collect money in the bag over a 6 month
period. This year, our mission bag money is not going to another country. Our mission this year is
our BUILDING FUND! When you receive your mission bag, prayerfully, strategically,
consistently.place money in that bag. Spare changed, dollar bills, a set weekly amount, monthly
amount or whatever the Lord puts on your heart.

To help us make the greatest impact, we are going to move FALLFEST from October this year to the
Spring. It will be sometime the later part of April or first part of May. We are going to coordinate
the date to coincide with the ending of the money bag project. In other words, the day we bring our
missions bags(building fund offering) will be the Sunday of the SRPINGFEST weekend! So that all
the monies in the mission bags and all the profit from SPRINGFEST and the Vision offering we take
on the Sunday afternoon following SPRINGFEST will be a TOTAL amount raised for the Building
Fund!

By moving FALLFEST to the Spring, it allows us more time and energy to devote to the first two
events I mentioned. It also helps us all to not have some many things we are asked to donate to in
a row. It also spreads some major events throughout the calendar instead of having them all at the
same time. Those attending our meeting all felt this was a positive all the way around. WE ARE
EXCITED ABOUT IT!!!!!!

There will be a special meeting to set the date and to offer suggestions of new things that can be done
to SPRINGFEST on October 9
th
, at 7:00 PM. Meeting will be held in the dining area of the CLC.
A second meeting is planned for November 13, at 7:00 PM. Please mark your calendars and plan to
come and help us make this the most successful and vibrant festival we have ever had!

Hey guys, Yall ready to go fishing? Band Of Brothers will be traveling to Santee Cooper on Friday
in preparation for our guided fishing trip on Saturday. If you have any questions feel free to call
me at 864-706-3877 or Wayne Bishop at 864-909-4775. Please be prepared to pay your due
balance in cash. The guide service does not take checks nor do they have anywhere at the dock
that has an ATM machine. Extra cash is probably the best bet for everything, LOL.
The guide service has advised us that they will be leaving the dock promptly at 6:00. If we are
not on the boat, we will miss our trip because they have informed us that they will not wait.
Make sure you have your fishing license BEFORE you leave home for the trip. There is nowhere
to get your license at 6:00 a.m. Be careful in your travels and we will see you in Santee!!!!!
