Pray for rain in Georgia
Georgia has been suffering from an intense drought in recent months that is so severe it has threatened supplies of drinking water.
Recently, Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue has called for a prayer service to call on the Lord for relief from the drought.
Of course, droughts are nothing new and neither is praying for them to end. The Old Testament records a long drought that occurred during Elijah’s time in 1 Kings 18. When Elijah earnestly prayed for rain, the Lord answered him with a downpour. According to James 5, we have the assurance that if we pray as earnestly as Elijah did, we too can have our prayers answered.
This is an opportunity for the Body of Christ to demonstrate the love of God. The water shortage in the South is not only a Georgia problem, it hurts us all.
Proverbs 11:25 says, “The generous man will be prosperous, and he who waters will himself be watered.”
2 Chronicles 7:13-15 tells us, “If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain… and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place.”
Let’s join with Georgia, and the rest of the south by calling on the name of the Lord to pray for rain.

Smith to speak at Calvary Chapel
A visiting guest speaker, Pastor Chuck Smith, will be teaching at Calvary Chapel Red Bluff at 12375 Paskenta Road for both the 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. services this Sunday.
Pastor Chuck Smith, as he is affectionately called by his congregation, was taught the scriptures from his youth as Timothy was. He has remained a student of the word of God, as well as being gifted by God as a teacher of the word. He has been given the ability to teach God's word in a simple, low-key, yet powerful manner that listeners of all ages can easily learn and apply to their daily lives. His teaching has inspired hundreds of young men to go into the ministry.
More than 30 years ago Smith felt the Lord calling him away from the church he was pastoring in Corona and move to Costa Mesa to begin the ministry of Calvary Chapel. What happened to this fellowship is a testimony to the miraculous ability of Jesus Christ to build His church in this 20th Century when a man is yielded to the leading of God.
Smith's radio ministry, "The Word For Today," is heard an hundreds stations around the country and through Calvary Satellite Network he is heard worldwide. Each week thousands of his taped Bible studies are sent all around the world to people studying the Word.

Kirkin’ O’ the Tartans
(Pictured) Jefferson Pipe Band featured in Scottish celebration of the Kirkin’ O’ the Tartans.RED BLUFF — On Sunday, the Jefferson Pipe Band will perform Celtic bagpipe and drum music at the Red Bluff Presbyterian Church, 838 Jefferson St.
An 11 a.m. Kirkin’ o’ the Tartans worship service will honor the Scottish faith traditions practiced by the Presbyterian Church.
A processional will open the service, led by the church Sexton carrying the Beadle (Bible), followed by Banners of Faith, the Jefferson Pipe Band featuring bagpipers and drummers, the Presbyterian Church choir, Pastor Jack Eisel and church lay readers. Scottish pipe hymns will be featured throughout the service, as well as blessing of individuals and families of Scottish descent. Traditional Celtic pipe hymns and melodies will continue after the service during a coffee hour featuring traditional Scottish shortbread, fruits, coffee and punch.
The Kirkin’ o’ the Tartans custom began in response to English attempt to extinguish Scottish culture. In 1746, a Parliamentary Act sought to deny the Scottish people the right to wear the kilt, plaid or any tartan garment. Bagpipes, as well, were banned and defined as a weapon in the continued effort to destroy highland clan identity. Arrest, imprisonment or banishment to the colonies was the price paid for almost 40 years, to those disobeying the law in the highlands. During this time the women of the highland clans, whose men were far from home, would take a small piece of their tartan to the Kirk (church) to be secretly blessed and to pray for Heaven’s protection for their clan and its members. Thus came the Scottish celebration known as the Kirkin’ O’ the Tartans.
This historically based ceremony came to fruition in the US when Dr. Peter Marshall, an emigrant from Coatdyke, Scotland, held the first Kirkin’ in 1941 at the New York Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C.
For more information about the Kirkin’ O’ the Tartans, contact the Red Bluff Presbyterian Church at 527-0372.

Enjoy the spiritual advice of Dungy
Last year's NFL Super Bowl winning coach for the Indianapolis Colts Tony Dungy recently wrote a book called, Quiet Strength, Men's Bible Study. The book will be presented at First Southern Baptist Church at 585 Kimball in Red Bluff beginning on Nov. 3 at 9 a.m.
Men who are interested in Dungy's philosophy and spiritual strength are urged to attend.
Dungy says of the Game Plan session, "When I was fired from Tampa Bay, I knew that my game plan needed to change. I had planned to be there much longer than I was. And I knew a change would be difficult for my family. But God's plans were different, and I quickly learned the importance of following God's plan, and glorifying Him no matter where I am. This section of the Bible study will challenge you to find God in the midst of frustrated plans."
The first session will be led by Kyle Turner, principal of Foothill High School. He has also coached at Shasta College and for the UC Davis Aggies. Pastor Tom Turner, a former high school coach, who was fortunate enough to coach several NFL players during their youth, strongly recommends this study.
Following the Game Plan session will be weekly studies defining Real Strength, Success, Security, Significance and the Legacy men would like to leave. All men are invited to attend.
For further information you can reach Pastor Tom at (530) 227-7173.

The Salvation Army increases storage area
The Salvation Army recently purchased a steel storage container to provide a larger storage area for food provided to the less fortunate in this area. The container arrived on Wednesday the 17th of October.
Hydra Crane – Wright Brothers Industrial Contractors – of Red Bluff – graciously donated their services to provide crane service which placed the storage container in the proper position and leveled it. The container will allow a local area - adjacent to The Salvation Army Corps Social Services building at 940 Walnut – to store food rather than at a remote location which has been utilized in the past. Any food donations would be greatly appreciated.

Bethel Assembly of God in RB acting on the great commission
Bethel Assembly of God in Red Bluff takes seriously the great commission to: "Go into all the world, Mark 16:15". All are called to the mission field. Some perform it through our daily lives right where we live, and some go to other countries.
September 6th through September 15th, fourteen people from Bethel set off for Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The team consisted of Pastor Ron Fortenberry, Patt Brittain, Raymond Childers, Pam Diehl, Cynthia Hoofard, Jeff & Judy Mandolfo, Tom Mehringer, Wes and Shannon Niles, Kevin Quigley, Susie Sanders, Mike Stenberg
The General Council of the Honduran Assemblies of God planted over 100 (“Honduras100”) churches in the last few years throughout the countryside of Honduras. Most of these new church plants currently have no facilities in which to worship. These new congregations are having services outside under trees, many times without protection from bad weather, or inside small dwellings without sufficient space. “Honduras100” is an ambitious project to build 100 steel tabernacles over the next 4 years. This project is designed to change these circumstances by providing a simple, relatively inexpensive, easily built structural steel frame that would allow a congregation almost instant access out of the weather.
A tabernacle is a standard size steel structure, 36' wide and 48' long. Concrete footings, structural steel columns, structural steel roof frame, and 26 gauge galvanized sheet metal roofing is provided and constructed by a visiting team, or a team of local church members. They ask for $10,000 from each team who comes to help. That will buy the structure, sheet metal roof, install the foundation and buy enough cement, sand, and concrete blocks to wall in the structure. The rest will be left up to the congregation to do, but at least they will have a roof for protection from heat and rain, and will have some security with the walls. Not only did Bethel send the $10,000 for the project but also each team member paid for all of their own expenses, which included the flight, transportation, hotel and meals.
Bethel Assembly completed tabernacle number twenty-two in Sabana Grande, about a 40-minute drive south of Tegucigalpa, the capital city of Honduras. Our project in Sabana Grande, was a much needed project. The church has already had to move out of one house, and was renting another small house that was still too small. The congregation had to meet in small groups in various homes and came together once a month in a school. When that happened they had over 100 people in attendance. This new church building allowed them to worship together in one location.
I praise God for giving Red Bluff Bethel a heart for Missions. We have already begun to pray for our mission trip for 2008.

Now is the Time to Worship
Editor's note:
I'd heard about the worship ministry that Nella was doing with the college students and asked if she would be willing to share her heart with us and also provide a bit of background on this ministry
My name is Nella Schnase and I am very excited about this new service started mainly for college students and anyone going through a new journey in their lives. The idea of “Now Is the Time to Worship”came to me when I was sitting in church listening to my father speak on reaching people on your own level. I felt a strong calling to get other people my age together and praise to the One who gave us the freedom to do so.
In this calling I was very nervous about actually making it all happen. I have never been in charge of such a thing, but what I am sure of is that I knew this ministry was meant to start through me. I love music and I love God. He wanted me to put them together and make sure my eyes are on Him first and foremost. More about

Teaching from a grasp of Scripture
The Sermon on the Mount may have appeared at first to e without connection to the Scriptures. Their rabbis carefully built around the Law, following the traditional interpretations of the Scriptures. The rabbis followed a predictable path, citing the accepted authorities, always within the orthodox structure of ideas. But Jesus cited no one, except to use the traditions as a contrast. He did not obviously cite Scripture either. Yet Jesus was teaching from Scripture, he was teaching the intention of Scripture.
The Sermon on the Mount is carefully built on a Psalm about a Rock, although it is not obvious. Jesus followed the order of this Psalm, teaching the application of the meaning. He understood the meaning of the Scriptures; He taught what His Father revealed to him through Scriptures. Jesus was fulfilling Scripture; the Scriptures bore witness to Him. The teachings of Jesus are based on an understanding of Scripture, not on an orthodoxy built around it.
The message that Jesus preached is Scriptural, but it was not part of the orthodoxy. The kingdom of God is near; Scripture bears witness to this. But the traditional teachings did not express this The religious scholars had carefully analyzed Scriptures for centuries, but did not find the good news.
The intention of Scripture is build the life of Jesus Christ in us. Scripture cannot be understood in isolation from life; it is not just fact. Scripture is like DNA; a complete listing of human DNA is of little value itself. In order DNA to have meaning, it must be expression a living organism. then the intention of the code can be see; DNA is expressed in what it builds, and in the mechanisms that come from it.
In the same way, the Scriptures are to build life in a person; the true intention of Scripture can only be seen in a living man.
"And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:14
Teaching is to come from the Word made flesh.

North Valley Episcopal Ministry (NVEM) develops program to serve Latino families
The North Valley Episcopal Ministry (NVEM) is developing a program to serve Latino families in Northern California, for the purpose of spiritual and social care.
Led by The Rev. Maryly Adair, Regional Missioner of NVEM., and Deacon Olga Barrera, from the Diocese of Honduras, NVEM. has been networking with local agencies that serve the Latino community, in order to establish a Hispanic Episcopal ministry not currently available in the North State.
Not only is this an excellent opportunity to grow as a church, it also serves to carry out the mission of spreading the glory and love of God cross-culturally.
As reported in the Associated Press: "The Episcopal Church, through its Central and South American Province, has a direct connection to Latin Americans who want to serve here churches also want to connect with congregants on a cultural level, and Latin American clergy can tailor services "'The cultural identification and bonding that occur when a person of the same background is leading them, serving them and overall providing spiritual leadership is a big draw and it sustains people's faith.'"
Deacon Olga Barrera will be preaching and hosting a powerpoint presentation about the Episcopal Church, its work in Honduras, and establishing a ministry for the local Latino community at the following locations:
Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, 32 E. Walker Street, Orland, at 9 a.m., worship service only, on Sunday.
St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, 820 Main Street, Corning, at 11 a.m. worship service on Sunday , followed by a powerpoint presentation about the Episcopal Church's Latino ministry.
An authentic Honduran dinner and powerpoint presentation will also take place at:
St. Peter's Episcopal Church, 510 Jefferson Street, Red Bluff at 5 p.m. in the Parish Hall on Sunday. R.S.V.P. for the dinner by Friday by calling 527-5205.
Information about The Rev. Olga Barrera's work in Northern California is available by contacting St. Peter's Episcopal Church at 527-5205 or via email at stpeters@shasta.com.
Established in 2005, the North Valley Episcopal Ministry encompasses the Episcopal parishes of St. Peter's in Red Bluff, St. Andrew's in Corning, Good Shepherd in Orland, and Holy Trinity in Willows, under the leadership of Regional Missioner, The Rev. Maryly Adair.

Nite Lite Ministries
Nite Lite Ministries held a special benefit concert for the Salvation Army on Saturday, Sept. 15. The public was asked to come out and ... all support the Salvation Army and bring a canned food item, a monetary offering, (if possible,) and a friend.

It encourages people to bring friends, both churched and unchurched, enjoy some contemporary music and see how God works in the lives of His people.
The Unified band is made up of people from six different churches in the area. They hope through this ministry that others will see unity, humility, and service as they work together for a common goal.

Teaching with authority
When Jesus finished that day, those who had listened recognized that He taught with authority. This contrasted with the way their educated men taught, who carefully followed the traditional interpretations.
"The result was that when Jesus had finished these words, the multitudes were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes." Matthew 7:28-29
Jesus taught what no one else had taught; He did not lean on the religious traditions in what He taught. he even used those traditions as a contrast to what He taught.
Yet Jesus did not set aside the Scriptures; He clearly made the point that the Scriptures will not pass away while the earth endures. but Jesus looked at the Scriptures in a very different way than their teachers had approached them. Their teachers looked at Scriptures as something to build around; the Jewish traditions were built to keep men from breaking the Law. They stated that they were building a fence around the law; they assumed that they could keep the Law if they worked at it diligently.
But Jesus sought to fulfill the Law and the Prophets, not just keep a distance from them. Jesus saw that the Law and the Prophets were meant to build something; they were not just rules. Jesus taught what the Scriptures were meant to accomplish not what men had built around them.
Jesus looked for something in the Law and the prophets. The traditional teachers had only built around the Law and the Prophets. [Read More]

Teaching for a purpose
Jesus was making disciples as He sat on the mountain teaching.
The accounts in Matthew, Mark, and Luke indicate that Jesus called certain fishermen, Peter and Andrew, and James and John, to follow Him before the Sermon on the Mount. These men would have been there listening. But others were there as well. The account in Matthew records the Sermon on the Mount in great detail; the accounts in Mark and Luke do not. The complete structure of the discourse indicates that Matthew was listening intently. But the accounts in Matthew, Mark, and Luke indicate that Matthew himself was called later, as he sat at his tax office in the city. Matthew had sat on the mountain listening to Jesus; this tax collector remembered details, every detail.
(Zaccheus, also a tax collector, also was good at remembering details. In Luke 19 he told Jesus he would repay four-fold everything he had taken by fraud.)
When Jesus passed by Matthew sitting at his table collecting taxes, Matthew knew what this Man taught. When Jesus said "Follow Me" Matthew was ready to leave his place in life, and follow Jesus. Jesus had been making a disciple of Matthew as He taught on the mountain.
Teaching is for a purpose. It is to bring inward change.
"But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith." 1 Timothy 1:5
Teaching needs to address the inward; otherwise discipleship becomes a school of acting. Discipleship should give a heart that has been cleansed from sin, an internal conscience that is useful in doing what is good and a faith that is not the result of role-playing. Love is to come from a changed person, not a well-acted part.

Well?
You know how it is. Sometimes, when you’re reading along in the bible, a verse will suddenly develop more significance? I recently came across one of those.
“Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will not {your countenance} be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it." Genesis 4:6&7.
After reading that verse, I got to wondering what exactly the word, “Well” meant.
When I looked it up and began reading its meaning, I was amazed. Even though it’s such a tiny little word, it is packed full of attributes.

Teaching with content
Discipleship is based on content; discipleship is more than loyalty to a leader. The teacher needs to have something significant to teach; he needs to have something to give.
Jesus had something to say. His teaching was challenging. He did not teach what they already knew; nor did He teach what was too abstract to be useful. Jesus taught about life; He gave light for what was real to those who listened. He taught about real things. If He were teaching us today, He might have used examples of Western materialism, the hypocrisy of our religious culture, and the addictions of our world. He would address us, challenging us to make real changes.
Jesus challenged those who listened to make changes in their lives. he preached that the kingdom of God is near; when He taught He taught how to find it. Those who listened heard about reality; what He taught applied.
Jesus used contrast often, taking examples from their culture. He could make what He taught useful because He could clearly state what was right and what was wrong.
Teaching should be challenging to understand, have significant application, and be illustrated with clear examples. Teaching should use language and details that are understandable, but the content should be difficult. Teaching should communicate change, not creed.

Presbyterians help with Ethiopian needs
Six Presbyterian churches in the Sacramento Presbytery, including the Red Bluff Presbyterian Church, have joined together to try to meet the stated needs of a small village (Maasha) and area in Ethiopia. The Shekkacho people live in a wetter area of the country but they have a problem with good drinking water.
One of the projects that the churches fund is the cost of building water collection points that enable the villages to have clear, unpolluted water. Before this project, everyone washed, cleaned dishes, and drank the polluted water. This water flowed pure out of the mountains. Ethiopia, which has English as its official language, tests all students going into 9th grade and those going to college.
A student has to pass this test to go on in school. It is a very difficult test and those in the villages don't have much exposure to English. For two years now these groups of churches have had an English Project in which teachers go and teach English in the local high school for one month in the summer. Last year only two teachers went.
This summer, Ann Wittorff Ferry, one of our very capable teachers in Tehama County, answered the challenge to volunteer. Five are going as teachers. They are spending from July 3-Aug. 8 on this mission.
The Red Bluff Presbyterian Church is paying for Ferry's expenses through the Rose Etta Todd Mission Fund that was established three summers ago in memory of Rose Etta Todd. Ferry will be teaching a morning and afternoon session of fifty students each for almost a month.
The students there are so anxious to learn that they complain if the breaks are any longer than announced.
These projects have been requested by the Ethiopian presbytery in the area. A fact that very few people know is that there are more Presbyterians in Ethiopia than there are in the U.S.A.
Most people walk in and out of your life ... but friends leave footprints in your heart.
