Early Weekend Edition
April 7, 2023
 HELP NEEDED THIS SATURDAY, APRIL 8
With the carpet install, we had to remove EVERYTHING from the sanctuary into the courtyard and classrooms. We need help to get things back in place this Saturday, April 8, starting at 9:00 AM in hopes of having things up and running for Sunday’s Easter service. Any help that any of you could offer on Saturday would be really appreciated, even if it isn’t starting at 9:00 AM. Just let me know if you can be there so I can try to put a plan together. Thanks in advance!

(678) 812-9623
Please join us this Sunday for an in-person Easter service at 10:30 AM.
We will also be live streaming the service on our live Facebook page and at
Athens Church of Christ.
