Rusty River's Ministerial Calendar
for  August 2011
CELEBRATING A NEW ERA IN RUSTY RIVER MINISTRIES

This Month's Theme Is: "Transition To The Future!"

Lobby Coffee shop
Don't forget, before and after each and every service our  very own Radiant Cafe is open serving the very best of the very finest drinks (AND that includes STARBUCKS!) and cuisine there is.
Located in the lobby, our coffee shop proudly  brews all the Starbucks favorites! With specialty breakfast foods, burgers and grilled chicken sandwiches. It’s the perfect place to grab a quick meal before service or hang out with your friends afterwards. Proceeds go toward financing our foreign missions.
Drive Thru Latte Stand
Located just outside the south entrance to the building. Start your day with the smooth, sweet flavors of Radiant Cafe's Best! We also offer delicious breakfast sandwiches and a variety of treats and pastries.
Volunteer Opportunity!
Do you love the coffee shop environment? This could be the perfect place for you to volunteer - we're looking for cashiers and baristas to help out on the weekends! If you're interested, just contact one of our staff and get started this week!
Contact the Coffee Ministry or call (889) 666-271 for more information.

On this blessed Sunday morning, the sister of Dr. Shirley River Coalson, Petchen Pensil, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the RRM will discuss the role of women in the Post Christian Era.

A pub church is a Christian Church which meets in a public house or similar establishment. Their purpose is to exist as an authentic Christian community, located in a way that is more accessible to non-churched people. They understand themselves to be "without the external trappings of more traditional churches.

Pastor Rusty River comments:  "If 'church' is what happens when people encounter the Risen Jesus and commit themselves to sustaining and deepening that encounter in their encounter with each other, there is plenty of theological room for diversity of rhythm and style, so long as we have ways of indentifying the same living Christ at the heart of every expression of Christian life in common."
 

HEADING FOR THE TOP

MAKE YOUR CHECKS PAYABLE TO:
Rusty River Ministries Inc.

Dear Friends,
As you have seen for the announcement at the top of this calendar, I am retiring as your Senior Pastor and turning the reins of the day to day operation to my two daughters and their husbands.  I know you will be greatly bless and that you will continue to grow spiritually under their divinely  inspired leadership.

This does not mean that I am no longer going to play an active role in this ministry which I founded over 55 years ago.  I will still play a managerial/supervisory role in all that goes on within this ministry.  I am retiring only from the day to day operations.  This will free me to continue my Missional travels around the world, overseeing the establishment of new "plant churches" and, of course, to continue my writings.

Of course, I will come into the pulpit from time to time to greet you with the good news of the Positive Gospel.

May He continue to richly bless you for your continued faithful giving to this Ministry that has sustained us over these many yoears.
Your former Pastors, Rusty and Ruthie

*Here is that prepared e-mail for you.  Just cut and paste it into the message you want to send to a friend.

Dear Friend,
Do you ever feel like you need to be rescued? I would like to invite you to join me at the Rusty River Temple during this post-Easter season. Pope Rusty, will be giving a message entitled The Greatest Rescue.   Pastor Rick's message of hope and promise to encourage anyone in need of rescue.  I hope you'll consider joining me this post-Easter month of May.

Dear Rusty River Ministries family,

Bishop Ruthie and I would like to thank you for all of your generous giving, your commitment and your selfless sacrifices that have made 2010 such and amazing year. In addition, thank you for staying in faith and believing for God to do great things through the RRM Church!
Because of you, this year we saw over 347,950 people accept Jesus as their Savior in our weekend services. Hundreds of thousands attended our live worship events in the United States and around the world, and we delivered hope to nearly 50,000 people in Dodger stadium and millions more through the live television event. Without a doubt, 2010 was one of the greatest years of ministry that we've ever known.  We know that you will help us far exceed last year's triumph for the Lord!
With just a few weekends left in the year, I would like to ask you, along with the many other families of RRM, to consider a special year-end gift. We have made it through a very challenging year, and nothing would prepare our church more for 2010 than to experience a supernatural outpouring of support.
It is a new season of God’s favor. It is a season to discover and seize God’s increase on our church and on our lives. I am so excited about what is to come here at RRM and around the world as we share the hope of Jesus.
Check below to give a special year-end gift.
Partner with RRM in the work being done throughout the world.  You can be a part of God's work by donating resources to be used to reach others with the message of Jesus Christ.

Thank you so much for being a vital part of the RRM family.
Expecting God to do greater things,
Pope Rusty and BishopRuthie
