REVIVAL IS COMING – OCTOBER 21-24 I have been working a great deal on our upcoming Winning For Christ Crusade. The more I

work, pray and plan the more excited I get about this coming revival effort. The dates are Oc-

tober 21-24. Please make every effort to attend all five of these services. Sunday morning Bible

study is at 9:00 followed by worship at 10:30. All evening services (Sunday-Wednesday) will

begin at 7:00.

Steve Hale will be communicating the truth of God’s word in a powerful and direct way. We

need to be revived and refreshed. Additionally, you have friends, family, neighbors, co-workers

and classmates that need to know Jesus as Savior of their lives. They will only have that oppor-

tunity as you invite them to come with you to these revival services.

Sunday morning’s theme is “Bring a Friend to Church Day.” Sunday evening is “Family

Night.” Bring all of your family members and sit together as we worship and listen to God

speaking through Bro. Steve. Monday is “Neighbor Night.” Bring as many of your neighbors as

you can. Perhaps you can have a simple dinner prepared for them in your home then come to

revival together. Tuesday is “Kid’s Night.” All kids 1st through 5th grades are invited to a free

hot dog supper at 6:00 then the revival worship will begin at 7:00. The revival will conclude on

Wednesday with “Youth Night.” At 6:00 all youth, grades 6 through 12, will stuff themselves

with pizza. All of those teen-agers will be sitting together in the worship center for the revival

that night.

You cannot miss this. Georgetown has not had a concerted revival effort in many years. Many

of you have said, “Pastor, we need to have a revival.” You are right…we need revival. I believe

God will work through these services to impact our church and Pottsboro for His glory. But

our faithfulness to attend and commitment to bring others will be critical for the Holy Spirit to

work. Do your part!

F3 – OCTOBER 28 – 4:00-7:00pm Another outreach opportunity in October is F3. This is one of the biggest events we do each

year. Its purpose is to get as many people on our campus as possible to express the love of

Christ. To make it happen will require many volunteers. Be sure to sign up in the foyer or call

Tracy in the church office. If you can do nothing else, at least come and smile and show God’s

love to all who come.

CHRISTMAS @ GEORGETOWN The Thanksgiving and Christmas season is going to be a special time. Be sure to read Chris’

information in this newsletter about a unique Christmas gift to our community. It will be an

amazing opportunity to introduce people to the real reason for the season—Jesus!

BLESSED! I love Georgetown Baptist Church and Pottsboro. What an indescribable honor and privilege it

is to serve in this place. Other than heaven, there is no place I would rather be!

To: Staff, members, friends: Just a short note to say

“Thank You” for all the

prayers, (and I felt the es-sence of them), plus the calls,

cards and I loved the notes

inside! The food was greatly appreciated. I have such an

awesome church family.

Love & hugs, JoAnn Hilliard

Please convey our sincere

thanks to all the church mem-bers who helped with the

funeral of our loved one and your neighbor, Charles Richard Allen.

We are very grateful. God Bless you

all. The Family of “Dick Allen”

Thank you so much for all ya’ll did for Asiah, Aspyn, Leon and the

for this difficult time. Thanks for the

food too. Love,

Asiah & Aspyn Derebery

& Becky Hayes

We want to thank everyone who prepared and served the wonderful

lunch after the services of our
