CELEBRATING A NEW ERA IN RUSTY RIVER MINISTRIES

This Month's Theme Is: "God Had A Need"


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.

This weekend, the Senior Pastor of the world famous Crystal Cathedral, Sheila Schuller Coleman will discuss with us:
"FOR WITH GOD NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE."

God verbally communicates, through His angel messenger, the infinite possibilities that are at the very heart of His love for YOU and for me.
My father has always said that he didn't have any idea how long Rusty River Ministries would be able to last...he's lived our ministry's history a day at a time, and claimed God's promise every moment...

RRM’s Compassion and Justice Ministries help us live out Jesus’ kingdom values by fighting poverty and injustice, both locally and globally. From serving at our local food pantry or packing meals to feed children in Africa, when you step up to serve, God can use you in ways you never expected. Serving not only honors God, but also allows great relationships to develop. With a commitment to fight poverty and injustice, Willow Creek partners with wholistic churches and organizations both locally and around the world.

This weekend,
founder/senior Pastor of Saddleback Church Rick Warren
is going to discuss with us,
Change your Life! Change the World!

In spite of the recession, I’m expecting, praying, and planning for this Decade of Destiny to be the most successful, fulfilling, and purposeful years in all seven key areas of your life.
So, I’m eager to meet with you today to discuss them in greater detail.

For our weekend services, Ed and Lisa Young, Pastors of Fellowship Church will talk on Sexperiment
Marriage is designed by God to be one man and one woman. But what holds that bond together? In their newest book, Sexperiment, Ed and Lisa Young get readers back to the original design for having an intimate relationship according to God. And by challenging husbands and wives to strengthen their connection, the book helps strengthen marriages and unite the bond of matrimony.


Sexperiment shows couples that the intersection of God and sex can lead to a life punctuated by exclamation marks!

Remember the word of our illustrious founder
,
What are we going to do now, we’re going global, its time to
bless the whole world."  

Our new $195 million dollar expansion is just one more step along the way to saving the world for Jesus.

Announcing our latest Church Plants!

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 Shirley River Coalson 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."

Church Brew Works

Our slogan is, “and on the eighth day…man created beer!”
An historic church is not the first place you think of for a delightful dining experience, but a lovely old 1903 church has found a new life as The Church Brew Works, a combination church, restaurant and brewery.  What better place to meet Jesus.
The beautiful stained glass windows give a romantic glow to the huge 150 seat dining room where diners can sit in the original pews.  While a good selection of wines and spirits is available, the huge gleaming stainless steel and copper brew vessels are too tempting to resist. It is hard to choose between the award winning specialty beers, but “Pious Monk Dunkel” is a one good one to try.
The menu features sandwiches, pizzas, and a wide variety of starters and entrees.  Pierogie are featured, but selections also include Buffalo and Wild Mushroom Meatloaf and a beautifully prepared Bourbon Glazed Salmon with Sweet Potatoes. Prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly and helpful.
For anyone who loves history and good food, this is the perfect place to church, drink and dine in this lovely old building
.


Dear Rusty River Ministries family,
 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,

 Dr. Shirley River Coalson

Dear Friends,
God had a need, and so did you and I. 
God needed to express to YOU His unfailing and entirely unconditional love.
And YOU and I needed to accept this wonderful grace.
•God had a need, and He filled it...
•You, too, had a need that God filled.
Years ago, my father identified the need for persons to find a positive self-esteem rooted in the loving grace of God Almighty and expressed to you and me through the person of His Son Jesus Christ. It is my most sincere and passionate desire that Rusty River Ministries remain a powerful weekly source of this life-saving message to God's children everywhere.

God Loves You and So Do I!


Your Senior Pastor, Shirley

*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.    Dr. Shirley River Coalson message of hope and promise to encourage anyone in need of rescue.  I hope you'll consider joining me this month in launching our Servolution program.


 


Pastor Shirley thanks you for your support.  As many thousands of you have inquired, let us say we'll soon update this very outdated picture.  We have yet to find time in our very busy schedule of meditation and contemplation to sit for a fresh one.

This "RRM calendar" is designed to illustrate just how far astray the church of today has gone and how far it will go to attract people into their audiences.
Virtually everything in the fictional RRM has been taken, and slightly modified, from church websites.  T'ain't funny McGee!  it is the reality of the contemporary "church."
