From Gary Hale
No doubt when most of us hear or
see the word “home” we get a warm
feeling in our hearts. Even when it is
combined with another word like
Homecoming. The words home
and homecoming both immediately bring to mind
relationships. What in life is more important than
relationships? I hope all of us will be blessed today
by our time of worship and our time enjoying
relations that we usually refer to as fellowship time.
I pray we all go home today feeling a little closer to
our Lord and to each other. I also pray we go
home today more determined than ever to serve
and honor the Lord with our daily lives. When one
firefly lights up in a dark field it is very noticeable.
When several light up at once it is amazing. Let’s
all strive to make the Lord’s church at Rural Hill
AMAZING!!!
I would like to extend a personal invitation to join
us for the Trunk or Treat, bonfire and haunted
woods this Saturday night at our home, weather
permitting. I’m very excited that Spencer Wilmore
is organizing a group of teens to make the woods
come alive like never before. Let’s have a great
group of cars this year for the Trunk or Treat and a
lot of children in costume to enjoy the treats! Look
for all the details on the next page.

Closing Prayer
From Wilfredo Salvatierra
Hoy domingo es " Homecoming"
que en español seria " Regresando a
Casa". Esta es una palabra que tiene
mucho sentido y sentimiento en el
área de los que regresan a un hogar,
a una familia, no tanto a una casa materia o lugar
si no mas trascendental, es regresar a un hogar, es
Incorporarte y participar en todas las bendiciones
que tiene un Hogar o una familia.
Esto me recuerda Lucas 15:18-20 sobre el hijo
prodigo que reconocío que estaba fuera del hogar
en todo los sentidos. Estaba viviendo fuera,
comiendo fuera, durmiendo afuera y sobre todo
había abandonado sus principios morales de su
hogar, había cortado toda comunicación con su
familia y sobre todo se había alejado del amor del
padre. Al reconocer regreso y el amor del padre lo
esperaba con los brazos abierto, corre hacia el y lo
recibe. Pero se encuentra con la mala actitud, fría y
despiadada de un hermano que cree que nunca se
había ido de casa y nunca había fallado tan solo
por estar allí físicamente, pero nunca estuvo
emocional ni mucho menos espiritualmente
conectado con la familia. Te pregunto, estas en tu
casa y la casa de Dios emocionalmente y espiritual
mente? Estas esperando con ansias y amor a los
que están fuera y alejados de Dios? Regresa a tu
familia emocional y espiritual. Vuelve a casa!
We
rejoice

Trunk or Treat/Hale’s Haunted Woods
Trunk or Treat is planned Saturday evening, October 24,
at the Hales’ home, 4118 Twin Oaks Lane, Antioch.
Cars will line-up with their trunks open ready to hand out
candy to the little costumed kiddos at 5:00 p.m. A
bonfire and cookout will start at 6:00. The haunted
woods will begin at 6:30. Please bring hotdogs or
kielbasa, buns, chips, soft drinks, desserts and outdoor
chairs. The event will conclude at 8:30 p.m.
There will be no 6:00 p.m. service that night due to
the extended day activities.
Parking: Ezell-Harding has given us permission to
use their parking area for our overflow crowd. If you
are able to park there, that will leave room for older
folks and visitors to park close to our building.
Thanks for your consideration in this.
Heritage
The Rural Hill church family began to meet in
1913. Today, as we celebrate 102 years of this
remarkable faith journey, we are thankful for the
rich Christian heritage, for those who pioneered in
our community, and for those who continue to
spread the good news and pass the promise to
future generations.
It has been over a century of “transformation.”
“He is able to do immeasurably more
than all we ask or imagine.” Eph. 3:20

Dear Rural Hill,
I just wanted to thank the Rural Hill congregation
for all your thoughts and prayers. I’ve waited a long
time for my kidney and I feel very blessed not to have
to wait anymore. I feel like a new person and I know
your prayers have a lot to do with it. Thanks again
and I love you all.
