  WEDNESDAY WOMEN'S WORKSHOP

There will be no WWW this week as we encourage our families to participate in Camp Kidslife together. However, don't miss a special time of fellowship next week. Holy Communion is much more than a tradition, and Anointing oil is to be used for more than just praying over the sick. Join us and learn how these two Holy practices can help you tap into more of God’s life-changing power! We will be serving communion and pray and anoint with oil everyone who wants to participate

Guest Pastor Shane Claiborne

This weekend (4th&5th)Shane Claiborne will be sharing a message on the two priorities for parents and children. I'm very excited about this message, because I believe it will give practical help and encouragement to those of you who are parents; and that it holds the possibility to help all of us, parent or not, to see some life changing truths about ourselves in what God says about families.

Guest Pastor Leonard Sweet
 

When you come into a place of faith like Rusty River Ministries, you build your spirit; it’s like building a strong foundation for your life. We all have challenges and situations that come against us, but when our foundation is strong, we can withstand the storms of life. Keep on fighting the good fight of faith by worshiping with us this weekend at RRM!

Kids Life

 Our Core Virtue this month is: Faith – Trusting in what you can’t see because of what you can see. Kids will be taught that when we read in the Bible about the things that Jesus did and see the things He is doing, it helps us face and overcome our fears. A special graduation ceremony is planned for our 4th and 5th graders who will move to Temple level 56 next week.

Guest Pastor Doug Pagitt will speak on the Elements of Worship

There are many elements to  worship. My desire is to help you create an atmosphere where you can collectively learn, pray, sing and be encouraged to follow God. We hope that you will be encouraged to join with us in this emerging church venture.  For example, the the music we sing at Solomon's Porch is original to our community. It is our desire that our music tells our story of faith, encourages us to trust in God and help us to ask of God, depend on God and praise God.

Canvas Jr High and High School
Canvas is a youth and young adult movement of RRM living by design – united to be the hope and life of God to our city and world.

If you are in Junior High or High School, join the movement!

We were all born with a blank canvas. The Bible says before we were born God had a plan and a design for our lives. A certain way to live, and a certain person to become. But the reality is many of us have lived 12, 16, or 18 years our own way, creating our own picture, making decisions that are about us, and nothing else. But when we meet Jesus and His grace, the promise is a blank canvas, our mistakes our forgiven and we join Him in painting a new design for our lives. Join us in our services on Wednesday nights and discover what it means to live by God's design.

Youth Services
Junior High | 7:30pm | Temple Warehouse – New Location!
High School | 7:30pm | The Temple Loft

July 1 , 2009

Dear RRM Family,

I need your immediate help! As one of my last duties before I go on my and Ruthie's extended sabbatical (click here if you haven't read the notice yet) on Wednesday, July 15, I will be teaching a message on HOW JESUS CHANGES US.

Most people are baffled by habits they can't change and circumstances they can't control. Part of the problem is that we don't understand the process Jesus uses to transform our lives so we find it hard to cooperate.  I will be speaking on HOW JESUS CHANGES US in the Temple Worship Center at 4:00PM,  and it will be broadcast live to hundreds of churches nationally. I want to ask you to come hear this message.   If you can get off work and spare 90 minutes, I'd appreciate your support! It is far easier for me to speak to a "live" audience of people I love instead of just a cold video camera. If you can show up, thank you in advance! A million thanks!

Lifetime Charitable Gift Annuity
The Benefits of a Rusty River Ministries Lifetime Charitable Gift Annuity

The Rusty River Ministries Lifetime Charitable Gift Annuity is a financial agreement which enables you to make a gift of cash to Rusty River Ministries in exchange for benefits to include assured income for life, tax savings, and an excellent rate of return.

Excellent Rate of Return
Today's low interest rates on savings and certificates of deposit may require that you find other ways to plan for your future financial security. A Rusty River Ministries Lifetime Charitable Gift Annuity will provide you with a competitive rate of return - up to 9.50 percent, depending on your age and the number of annuitants in your agreement. When you include the tax savings from the charitable gift involved, the "effective rate of return" on your investment is even greater.

Age Rates*
70 5.70%
75 6.30%
80 7.10%
85 8.10%
90 9.50%

*RRM. Gift Annuities are not available in AL, HI, MD, and WI, or outside the USA. Rates subject to change.


Life Income and Tax Savings
Your Rusty River Ministries Lifetime Charitable Gift Annuity is backed by Rusty River Ministries, which assures you will receive your annuity payment at the same rate for life. During your lifetime, your funds will be invested in U.S. government backed securities for maximum safety. Your annuity can be established for either one life or two. You simply choose the type of annuity and payment schedule which is best for you. The annuity is irrevocable. This service is not available outside of the United States

If you itemize your deductions, you will receive an immediate income tax charitable deduction for the year in which your annuity is established. By funding your annuity in cash, a portion of the income you receive will be a tax-free return of principal for your life expectancy.
