after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth. These are the words of Jesus. He had told them all along that He would be sending another Comforter. I believe that we need a resurgence of the Holy Ghost!!!!! The last 2 Sunday nights, the Lord has met people where they were when they went after a greater anointing of His Spirit. Weve had people filled with the Holy Ghost and refilled. Were you there? Were you there to hear the sermon, were you there to see the Holy Ghost manifest Himself? Were you there in the altar going after God for yourself? I just want to encourage you to not miss any service that the church offers. Why? Listen to what the Holy Ghost said Sunday night: HEAR ME, FOR THE WORDS I TELL YOU ARE FAI THFUL AND TRUE. PERI LOUS TI MES LI E BEFOREYOU. YOU NEED THIS GI FT I HAVE GI VEN TO YOU. YOU NEED THE POWER AND J OY OF THE HOLY GHOST. I HAVE GI VEN THI S GI FT SO YOU MI GHT BE ABLE TO STAND AND DO THE WORK I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU. I HAVE GI VEN YOU THE SPI RI T OF LOVE, OF POWER, AND OF A SOUND MI ND. BE STRONG I N THE LORD AND THE POWER OF MY MI GHT. RECEI VE THI S GI FT. CLI NG TO THI S GI FT. RECEI VE THI S GI FT OF THE HOLY GHOST THAT I HAVE GIVEN YOU.
Did you get what the Holy Ghost said? Perilous times lie before you. YOU NEED THIS GIFT THAT I HAVE GIVEN TO YOU.. WOW! What a loving God that would prepare us for what is ahead by both giving us warning and providing what we need. You and I need the power of the Holy Ghost in our lives. We need the Word of God in our lives. We need a current, up to date devotional time with the Lord. Do you have all that? These things are key to surviving and defeating perilous times. PLEASE, be careful about church attendance and make sure that you are full of the Holy Ghost. If the Lord allows, I will be talking about the Holy Ghost all during the month of October on Sunday nights. Hope to see you there!!!!!!
There will be an informational meeting concerning a Mission Trip to Honduras in the Spring of 2015. If you would be interested in going or would at least like to know more information about it, then plan on meeting with us on Tuesday evening, October 21 at 7:00 PM in the dining room. There will be coffee and pastries to enjoy while we discuss. We may also explore the option of changing our trip date as well, so come if you have any interest at all. Bendiciones!
You still can pick up a missions bag in the lobby. They are on the desks in the foyer. The money this year will go towards our building fund. That also means that we will need people to help us contribute to missions through your tithe envelope. Mark it either general missions or wherever you would like for it to go. Your gifts towards Honduras or Jamaica will enable us to use those funds

Some instructions for Ustream (the live streaming of our services). Right now our website is down due to it being hacked. There is a link on the Under Construction page of the website that goes to the Ustream page for Woodruff Church of God. Some had trouble accessing it Sunday and we apologize for that. There were some popup setting that were changed to try to fix that situation. You can always type in your browser Ustream.com and in the search line type Woodruff Church of God. Also, if you have subscribed to Woodruff Church of God through Ustream, you should be getting emails when the feed goes live. You can also click from the email and get to the service. You can also go and watch after the service is over. It is recorded and can be found there. Thank you for those who want to watch while youre sick or out of town. It is nothing like being here LIVE AND IN PERSON, but it is good to be connected to your church!

Toy Closet: Thanks to all the Sunday School classes and Departments that purchased the specific items we requested. Those items were to be turned in by the end of September. The following is what we still lack: Hats and gloves---Boys and girls (small-large) Boys underwear---(small-large) Novelty T-shirts---Boys and girls (small-large)
We really need items for pre-teen and teen boys and girls. We need items like: Perfume/Cologne Purses/Wallets Movies/DVDs Boardgames Jewelry (Boys and Girls)
We need the Toy Closet fully stocked by Mid November. This year our Toy Closet will be open on the night of our program "Miracle on Poole Street" and all Toy Closet recipients are required to attend "Miracle on Poole Street." The children will be occupied while the parents visit the Toy Closet. That way we not only help them with Christmas but we make sure they get a nice meal, hear the Word of God, experience the love of the WCOG, and possibly win many more gifts and prizes. We want them to leave with their stomachs full, their hearts full and their hands full. If you have already purchased the items for young kids, we will certainly use them.
Comforting Hearts Meals: Our food fund is very low. If you are down to give money to this ministry, please do so as soon as possible. Also, a great big "Thank you" to all who are so faithful to give, prepare food and serve in this important ministry.
