Focus on Our Family (con't)

Diamond Hill held a Fall Festival on October 4 with live music provided by the teens, and the WMU sponsored Apple Butter making. There was a good turnout of church members to help. They made a total of 190 quarts!!! It was a great time of fellowship with the youth and older members of the church.

Gail and Neal Alford will be serving as missionaries with the Christian Light Foundation in Venezuela, beginning in either December or January. Diamond Hill will be a sponsor for them.


Gary Fowler, pastor of Flint Hill, underwent quintuple heart bypass surgery on November 3. Pray for his speedy and complete recovery.


On Sunday, November 23, Mentow and Palestine will share in the annual Community Thanksgiving Service which will be hosted by Huddleston United Methodist church this year.


North Bedford will have revival services beginning Sunday, November 9, at 11:00 a.m., and continue each evening at 7:00 through Wednesday, November 12. Dale and Gilda Riddle from Pilot Mountain, North Carolina, will be the guest evangelists. Sonny Short, a native of Bedford City, will be the song leader.

Notes from River Rock:
Dear SBA Family,
Thank you for joining with us in the planting of a "House of Prayer" in the Wyndhurst Community. Thank you for your encouragement, support, and prayers. This first year has been a great time of laying and digging the Foundation on the Rock--one which the gates of Hell will not prevail against. We have faithfully seen God's hand of provision and have experienced the fulfilling of His many promises. I believe God has divinely called out His people to establish this church, in this place, so that there will be a brilliantly shining light on the hill of the Wyndhurst Community. Thank you for following in faith as God leads us to establish His kingdom for His glory. May His Holiness be found in our families, our churches-and witnessed by the world around us 'til the day we meet Him in the clouds. Gratefully, The Families of River Rock

Thank you for your support of River Rock Church at Wyndhurst. Your support provides a needed ministry for families like ours to serve in. May God Bless, Jim, Carol, and the Sosnoski Family

Our family wants to thank you for helping support River Rock Church. The teaching and fellowship have been a blessing to our family.

It has been a special joy to us to participate in the music ministry. We believe God is really moving and He is preparing hearts in the Wyndhurst and Forest areas to respond to Him.

God has placed in us a love for Him and for encouraging families. Thank you.
In Christ, The Mark and Mary Elizabeth Pemberton family
