We will be meeting at the church building at 7pm this Thursday for a continuation on our study of Fruit of the Spirit. This week’s devotional is on gentleness lead by Creighton Arrington.

If you know of someone that may be interested in coming or have any questions, contact Garrison Fisher at 704-401-4147 or Emmie Landford at 912-223-9508.

Greetings Family.
We are now ready to continue with the series “Carry One Another’s Burdens”. The classes will be every two weeks beginning on Saturday morning May 15 from 9:00 am to 11:00 am. There are 7 sessions. This series is a transformation of perspective. In order to carry someone’s burden we must understand it enough to have empathy for them. Our own experience, perception, and biased views can blind us from having this understanding and limit our ability to love someone that is not like us. Jesus told us to bring the nations together in his kingdom. This series will help us do that, to have closer relationships, and much more. If you want to be a part of this next series please reply to this email or contact Terry Morrow at 770-337-4455. It will be a Zoom meeting so you can attend from anywhere you have Internet. Most smart phones can access Zoom through your service provider as well even if you are traveling.
We look forward to seeing you then,
Terry & Cricket Morrow and Anthony and Patsy Alford

This Sunday right after church we will have our Big Bash, celebrating our 5th graders and the end of the school year. This event is for all the children and families in our Children’s Ministry. There will be food, inflatables, and water games (so bring a towel). We will gather at the beginning for a special time to honor our 5th graders and will then split into groups to rotate through our different activities and food.
