Pray About This
Ephesians 3:14-19 TNIV
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father …
17 and I pray that you …
being rooted and established in love,
18 may have power … to grasp
how wide
and long
and high
and deep is the love of Christ,
19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge
—that you may be filled to the measure
of all the fullness of God.
Think About This

we were reconciled to him

shall we be saved through his life!

LAST WEEK
July's Declaration of Interdependence!
The church family of Rolling Hills experienced a revolution of servant evangelism in July ... and probably didn't even realize it!
+ Habitat for Humanity = 33 people signing up to help build a house in Austin!
+ Faith In Action Sunday = 55 people signing up for 18 different projects on the last Sunday of the "Naked in the Gospels" sermon series review of the human need and Christ's responses
Wow! Our church family is getting ready to take "doing it for the least of these" to a new level!
GLORY TO GOD!

"You know that you're getting older when ...
... you feel like the morning after, but you hadn't been anywhere the night before!"
That's just one more line like the ones I gave in the sermon on aging in the "Cover Your Eyes" series.

Handbags for Hope
One of the ideas for a 10-10-10 Faith In Action Sunday ministry project that has generated some buzz is the "Handbags for Hope" program sponsored jointly by the Travis County Sheriff's Office and the Texas Advocacy Project. Simply put:
+ people donate new or slightly used purses
+ the program gets them to shelters where abuse victims are staying
+ the children in the shelters get to choose which purse to give their mom for Mother's Day, thus having a gift in a situation that has discouraged shopping for one.
I heard about it on a news feature, and here is the link to the video and print story:

Again, if you are interested in helping Rolling Hills with this 10-10-10 project, email me at LeadPastor@rhcc4.org!
FOUR WEEKS AGO
Last Sunday we rephrased John 3:16 as a prayer, an example of what you can do to personalize scripture as prayer. I promis ed to post the prayer so that all of us can pray to love the world like God does!
“Please God,
help me so love the world,
that I’ll give your Son my all
that “whoevers” will believe in Him
and not perish but have eternal life.”
Additionally, here is the news story about Sgt. Salvatore Giunta, the living soldier who has been nominated for the Medal of Honor; Sgt. Giunta put himself in the line of fire to rescue an injured fellow soldier being dragged away by enemy forces. Let his story inspire you to rescue others the Enemy is dragging away every single day:
