July prayer letter

Rustle: A Next Church
Prayer Letter - July 11, 2008

We give thanks to God for the things taking place at Rustle.

Board
An official board was elected at the WITH meeting at the end of May. This is a step toward becoming a fellowship in the Free Methodist Church and also to being recognized with charitable status.
The new board is Karen, Jordin, John, Paul, Joel, Lisa M. and Aphra. The WITH Church meetings that occur on the last Wednesday evening of the month will still be the main avenue for discussion of Church issues.
The board meetings will be the first Wednesday evening of the month and the prayer meetings will move to the middle Wednesdays in the month.

The back garden
We are very happy to now have a fully fenced back yard at Rustle thanks to the talented Will Towell. The children are now safer than before and it should keep the stray animals from using our lawn as a toilet J A garden was also planted and is already producing vegetables.

Please pray for:
·unity
·finances
·children in and around Rustle
·that new board members would have vision for their roles

Isaiah 42:6 I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand.
I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, 7 to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.



Meet Henriette

When the prayer letters first started for Rustle, one of the things that was continually listed as a prayer request was that we would find the right person to rent the apartment over Rustle. Well, Henriette was the answer to that prayer. There were quite a few people interested in the apartment but it never seemed to work out quite right or be a suitable fit but when Henriette arrived everything seemed to fall into place and we all seem to agree that God sent her to here in answer to the prayers!

Henriette is faithful to our Church and to our prayer meetings. She prays for the Rustle Church community and for the neighbourhood. She has a great vantage point from her apartment (which she call ‘the lighthouse’)

Henriette is an artist extraordinaire. She spends her free time painting and reading. She has been blessed with a lot of work in her cleaning business. So much so, I think she has above and beyond what she could hope for and has been turning down jobs! We give thanks to God for Henriette for blessing her and for blessing us through her.

The back garden

So far the radishes are ripe!

Women's potluck and video

Karen is hosting a women's potluck and video evening at Rustle at 6pm on Tuesday July 8th

FUN AND FAITH
Where: rustle
When: Tuesday, July 8th, 2008 6pm
What: dinner-and-a-movie: potluck (main course or fresh veggies...please, no sugary
desserts, fruit only --some of us are compulsive over-eaters, it's like a drug to
us, and the effects are not pretty)

About the DVD: "Whether she's transforming the William Tell Overture into an ode to
"Momsense" or explaining how to accessorize a "wisdom waist", Anita
Renfroe always makes us laugh. Maybe it's because she comes right out and says what
we're all thinking! Recently, she's made appearances on Good Morning America,
Dr.Phil, and CNN (to name a few), but this multifaceted creative artist is till just
one of the girls --though possibly a touch stranger than the resf of us. Comedian,
musician, speaker, and author, Anita recently joined forces with husband John to
write a devotional for couples ( I bought one for Robert and I, and yes, it's about
sex, ...evaluation to follow), Songs in the Kay of Solomon."
--from Women of Faith Infinite Grace Conference
Open wide for a dose of estrogen-flavoured musical comedy --78 side-splitting
minutes of laughs, off-the-wall insights, and Anita's signature brand of music on
DVD.
Who: you and your female friends
Cost: at least one, hearty belly-laugh
