THANK YOU NOTES Dear Regency congregation, I have worshipped with you for several years, but never asked you to accept my membership. I do that today. Many of you know that the month of September has been a full month of illnesses for me. I want you to know that all your prayers, cards and good wishes by telephone calls have been appreciated. I thank you for everything and pray that God will continue to bless one and all. Sincerely, Ken Wear A note of thanksgiving. The outpouring of love from ‘my family’ has been great. The calls, cards, everything has uplifted me. Thanks for all the prayers. I am still needing them. But I now feel like the devil was trying to get a hold and being with my family I was led by God to take my burdens to my family. We have a wonderful group of elders helping me get through this difficult time. Please pray for them also. Please keep Blake in your prayers also. I love you all, Your sister in Christ, Mary Spence FOOD GIVE AWAY Macaroni & Cheese Need 336 by November 20 THOSE TO SERVE - Sunday, October 19, 2014 Worship Service SONG LEADER: AM: Wayne Rowe PM: Jason Smith OPENING PRAYER: AM: Tommy Wasden PM: John Shavers ATTENDANCE CARDS: Landon & Ryan Stewart, Andrew Crepeau SCRIPTURE READER: Harrison Foster LORD’S SUPPER LEADER: AM: David Newberry ASSIST: Charles Gunter, Thomas Davis, David Newberry, Alan Smith, Jim Wyrick, Bill Franks, Dick Gray, Mike Reimer PM: Mark Erwin, Sargent Erwin CLOSING PRAYER: AM: Marvin Dean PM: Charlie Burch PREPARE COMMUNION: Janice Shavers VAN DRIVER: Bubba Bullington, phone 753-1229 NURSERY: AM: Liz Burris TODDLERS: AM: Kristi Reimer YARD MAINT.: October 25: Team 2, Keith Hall PM: Mindy Eldridge WEDNESDAY PM SERVICE - Wednesday, October 22, 2014 SONG LEADER: David Pahman CLOSING PRAYER: Ron Haynes If you cannot serve: call Skip Burris at 454-4414.

Let me share some key ingredients of Christianity. 1. We have a supreme being to worship. He is the loving God in whom we live and move and have our being. See Ephesians 4:6 2. We have a Savior who rescued us. See Colossians 1:1314. He came down from heaven on a mission of mercy to rescue us from our sins. 3. We have a family to be part of. See 1 Timothy 3:15. We became children of God when we were baptized into Christ, and God added us to His spiritual family, the church. 4. We have a divine standard by which to live our lives and regulate our faith and worship. See 2 Timothy 1:13. It is a pattern of sound or healthy words. 5. We have an approved way to worship God. See John 4:2324. God seeks true worshipers who will worship Him in spirit and in truth 6. We have a mission to accomplish. See Mark 16:15-16. Our overall mission is to grow up in all things to be like Christ. 7. We have a battle to be fought. See 1 Timothy 6:12. Paul calls it the good fight of faith. 8. We have a reward to receive. See 2 Timothy 4:7-8. We all look forward to hearing Him say, “Well done thou good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your Lord.” - Allan Eldridge MISSIONS -Eastern European Mission (Bibles) -Lima, Peru -Kemelton Harawa - Malawi, Africa - Derrick John - Moraikobai, Guyana -Vitaly Rodichev - Ukraine -Steven Lucas - Hurley, Mississippi DEACONS James Breckenridge - Communion, Disaster Relief Skip Burris - Worship Service Bubba Bullington - Audio Visual Media Randy Curry - Food Give Away Russ Davidson - Involvement, Member Board Mark Erwin - Legal, Youth Dale Eubanks - Seniors David Haynes - Worship Service, Grounds Maurice James - Finance, Audio Visual Media Tony Kendall - Missions Casey Melton - Lads to Leaders David Pahman - Education Mike Shavers - Benevolence, Communion to Shut-ins Tommy Wasden - Family Ministry, Attendance, Transportation YOUTH & FAMILY MINISTER - Andrew Howell MINISTER - Allan Eldridge ELDERS Merrill Davidson Marvin Dean Jerrold Eubanks George Holcomb *Jimbo Jordan *Chairman for the month of October OFFICE INFORMATION Nancy Talbot, Office Manager Email: [email protected] Monday - Friday 8 am - 4 pm Phone (251) 345-8050 Fax (251) 345-8051 WEBSITE - WEBMASTER www.regencycc.org Andrew Howell WORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Sunday Bible Class: 9 am Worship: 10 am & 6 pm Wednesday Morning: 10:30 am Evening: 7 pm FOR THE RECORD October 12, 2014 Sunday Bible Class . . . . . . . . . . 231 Sunday Morning Worship . . . . . . 322 Sunday Evening Worship . . . . . . 163 Contribution . . . . . . . . . . . . . $12,875 . . .
