The worship leader for the Rally was Brandon Pelfrey. He was accompanied on the piano by Mike Harmon. The pre-service music was provided by Godsent as well as blessing us with two specials during the worship service. Our guest speaker was Pastor Glyndon Woosley from White Oak FCOG. Pastor Woosley shared a challenging message, The Three Essentials of a Christian Life. The offertory prayer was given by Pastor Terry Frerichs from Preston FCOG and Pastor Brad Epperson from Clay City FCOG sang the offertory song. East District Chairman, Jeff Justice, closed the service with a special presentation honoring Pastor Garland and Sue Lacy who currently serve at Middle Fork FCOG.

Bro Jeff Justice East District Mission Statement: May the unity of the Spirit mold us by the Word of God unto the perfect body attracting all men that they may be saved honoring our Lord.

2 From the Desk of. The East District COG Vice Chairman Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Well once again we find ourselves heading into the cooler weather of fall. Fall is a beautiful time. A time when God seemingly takes His brush and paints us a majestic mural, right before our eyes. This time of the year, let s realize what a wonderful, loving and graceful God we have. It s also during this time of year it s important for us to keep our minds on Him. The many activities of fall can sometimes deter our thoughts from His purpose in our lives. To help us do just that I want to remind of a quote from Stephen R. Covey, Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny. Of course the principle that this quote teaches is nothing new. God has weaved this principle into mankind. Proverbs 23:7 says, for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. And Paul reminded us in Philippians 4:8, to think about things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely and of a good report. We can plainly see, what we think about is important, because that s the direction we usually follow. To help direct our thoughts I want to use the points of Glyndon Woosley s message he preached at September s Rally. Let s keep our thoughts on the way to go, the truth to know and the life to grow. All of these things are simply found in our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. May God bless you this fall season and His grace continue to shine in your life. Your brother in Ministry, Terry Frerichs Vice Chairman of the East District
