I am here is Orlando Fla. with Mickey Mouse, lots of snakes and alligators, and best all, the Holy Spirit and thousands of Pastors and there there families from around the country! We are so blessed to be apart of the Assemblies of God. It gives USA covering and accountability but it also allows us the unique freedom to build a church that reflects what God has called us to be. Leadership meetings will begin tonight and continue all day tomorrow, with adult, youth and kids rallies each evening in the Orlando Convention Center.
We will return to Rocky Mount next Saturday. This coming Sunday morning we will return to COTR full force. I will begin two new teaching series. In the Sunday Celebration, I will speak on LAUNCH: Breaking out of Paradigm Paralysis. God wants us to launch into a new spiritual place, but so often the religious thinking we have developed over the years put us in a mental and spiritual paradigm that keeps us from experiencing what God has for us.
At the Wednesday Connection, I will begin a new expository series on the book of Thessalonians entitled “Mirror Church.” We at COTR are called of God to become a mirror church that others can look to for a model to follow. We will look at the original “mirror crunch” and see why others looked to them for direction and learn what it really means to be the elect of God! Most of all, we look for ward to seeing you guys on a regular basis.
God designed us for fellowship, and we have missed greatly just being together with the saints of COTR that we know and love so much.
This will be an amazing fall season!
See you on Sunday
Pastor Richard
