RISE Church Decatur

This week our team heads to Panama, September 22-29, to serve and love the people there. Will you pray for them while they're gone? Pray for open hearts, safe travels, and everyone they get to reach. We're grateful for them.

Pastor James is in Acts 10 and 11 this Sunday, where Peter tells a room full of Gentiles that God shows no partiality, and the Holy Spirit falls on them while he is still speaking. Give Acts 10:34-11:18 a read this week and come ready. See you at RISE for 9 and 11am services.

Starting Wednesday, September 23, we are working through The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer on Wednesday nights at RISE. We meet from 6 to 7:30, right after worship. Come as you are and jump in with us.

Child Dedication is Sunday, October 4. It is a morning for parents to stand in front of our church family and commit to raising their child to know the Lord, and for us to commit to helping them do it. When you register you pick three words to pray over your child as they grow.

Todd Tillinghast, one of the missionaries we support, just sent an update from Panama. He and his team spent four days in the Ngabe-Bugle mountains showing the Jesus Film, visiting people in their homes, and sharing the gospel at a local school. Students there walk up to two hours each way just to get to class, and they walked that same distance at night to watch the film.

1,092 people heard the gospel. 86 gave their lives to Christ.

Keep praying for Todd, for Pastor Enrique and the churches he is planting, and for the gospel to keep spreading in Panama.

Pastor James is in Acts 10 this Sunday, where God gives Peter a vision on a rooftop and sends him into the home of a Roman centurion. Give Acts 10:9-33 a read this week and come ready. See you at RISE for 9 and 11am services.
