CELEBRATING A NEW ERA IN RUSTY RIVER MINISTRIES

This Month's Theme Is: "Peace in Our Time"

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.

To begin the new year, the Right Reverend Doctor Shirley River Colson will have a conversation about this month's/this year's theme which is "PEACE IN OUR TIME!"

Today, Rev. Jay Coalson will call for us to rebuke “oppressors” and warmongers.  In this time of ours, in this world of ours, cause the oppressors’ rods, the cloaks rolled in blood and the footgear of battle to be burned, so that your peace may triumph in this world of ours,”
 

.Rev. Dr. Jay Penciller will talk it over with us about, “Asking for peace, stability and security for the entire world
and the return of calm and reconciliation."

We believe sustained life change happens best in the context of community. In community groups, people study God's Word together and discuss the issues and challenges of life. It's also where they pray, care for one another, and are missed if they don't show up.  

At RRM we believe in "doing life" together. We believe that true spiritual growth is created by celebrating a culture of building community as the Church. We believe that our city wide Life Groups offer such an opportunity. Through our Life Groups, spiritual growth and discipleship take place creating long lasting relationships and community amongst friends.  When you join a Life Group, you’ll have:
* The opportunity to connect with others in a more intimate fashion.
* The opportunity to apply Biblical principles from God's Word.
* The opportunity to serve with your group during special city church events
* The opportunity to engage in relevant conversations pertaining to God, life, and beyond.

As a part of the landscape our community, we want to be more than just another building. We want to move out from these walls and into the streets and serve the greater needs of the  surrounding community. Through our GROUPS ministry, we have created the Intersect Project as our vehicle to serve.

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."

This year, we are sending over 1,000 people overseas to 21 countries on over 80 trips! Intersecting with God's grand plan for the universe, and having life-changing experiences, which impacts your view of God, our World, and people in it. We call this the global "X-factor".

Leading people of other nations into
a growing relationship with Jesus Christ

A church on the move empowers churches around the world to move in their nations and communities.

Whether your involvement is with a country that is developed or underdeveloped, near or far, all nations are in need of a Savior. You can make a difference that is on the move and that lasts in the global Church through your involvement.

The International Missions Ministry currently partners with seven primary strategic initiatives in Cuba, Poland, Central Asia, India, East Africa, West Africa and Sweden. In addition, International Missions supports and encourages nearly 50 church members who have answered God’s call to serve in full-time missions outside the U.S.

Simply put, we are "harvest-focused, holiness-fueled

When you donate $35,000.00 for a Walk Of The Faithful stone it will be placed in a trust fund to guarantee the RRM Temple is preserved for 2,000 years and more.

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.

Dear Rusty River Ministries family,

 Dr. Shirley River Coalson 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

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 represented on this "calendar" of 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."
