Ruth is one of the shortest books in the Bible. It’s also one of the most powerful — and it’s told without a single miracle, prophecy, or “thus says the Lord.”

Just lost people. A choice to believe. A life of obedience. And a redeemer who pays the price.

Pastor Jimmy walks through the entire book of Ruth in four movements — and shows how Ruth’s story points straight to Jesus, our true Kinsman Redeemer.

In this message:

• Why the story starts in the mess of Judges
• Orpah vs. Ruth — the choice that changes everything
• What it means to be grafted into God’s family
• Why faith isn’t a feeling — and why that’s actually good news
• How Boaz points to Jesus, and what Jesus did that Boaz couldn’t

Scripture: Ruth 1–4 | Romans 8:26–28 | Romans 10:8–13

The Prayer Team is a confidential group.
If you have a prayer request you can share it here.

We also have a private prayer group on Facebook.  

The Prayer Team is always open for new members. They text or call each other during the week and have a group call prayer meeting on Thursday nights. Keith Smith is the leader and would love to talk to you about how they pray for our congregation, our world, and the kingdom. You can also use the link above to let them know you are interested. 

If you would like to pick up an Amendment 3 yard sign, they will be located in the Fellowship Hall.  

Please join us for a brunch in the Fellowship Hall from 10:30-11:15. We will have LifeGroups following the brunch. Please keep all food in the Fellowship Hall.  

OCC kickoff is on October 25, and you will be able to get your boxes to fill. All Memorial boxes are to be returned filled by or on Nov. 15. We will pray over the boxes at our Thanksgiving meal. 

Did you know that Memorial is a drop-off site for OCC after our church collection? 

November 16-23 is National Collection Week of Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes. Each year a band of friendly volunteers hangs out at the church during drop off hours to collect, count, and pack the boxes into shipping boxes. We also greet and pray with those dropping off boxes and help unload boxes. It may be busy or quiet, but providing a convenient time for people to drop off their boxes removes one barrier for people who want to donate boxes. 

We hope you can join us after church on November 15 for a Thanksgiving Meal.  There is a sign-up in the sanctuary to let us know what you are bringing. Please RSVP so we have enough meat and seats.

More info to come, but we want to make sure you have the opportunity for an early bird price. Invite other couples and get registered soon.
