Woodruff Church of God e-Edition Newsletter August 6, 2013

Pastors Notes: Please pray for our Jamaican Missions Team!!!! Pray for their safety (they arrived in Old Harbor, Jamaica safe and sound), their health and the success of their mission. Pray that souls will be won to the kingdom of God and pray that relationships will be built (we like to call it Kingdom Connections). All of this for the GLORY OF GOD!!!!!

What a mighty moving of God in our services Sunday! Sunday morning was an hour and a half of worship & prayer. I still hear the words of that new song.Victors Crownstrongholds shall be broken. I am believing that strongholds were broken and fresh praise is coming from the lips of Gods people. OH HALLELUJAH!!!!! Then on Sunday night, Pastor Shealy brought an awesome and powerful word from John 11 entitled Jesus Wept. He described the things Jesus could have been weeping over, things He is presently weeping over and then we were charged to weep too. We should be weeping over sinners and sin. When is the last time we shed a tear over our lost loved ones, the sin in our community, etc.? I was challenged and stirred. How about you? PASTOR SHEALY will be preaching again this coming Sunday night (hell also be preaching the last 2 Wednesday nights of this month as well). PLEASE, please, please. Allow the whole day on Sunday to be the Lords day and be in church Sunday night to hear the Word of God. The Word of God is never wasted and is always useful and productive for us.
