THE WITNESS
 
 
 
 
 "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'  But I say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also;  and if anyone wants to sue you and take your coat, give your cloak as well;  and if anyone forces you to go one mile, go also the second mile. Give to everyone who begs from you, and do not refuse anyone who wants to borrow from you.  
 
 
Matthew 5:38-42

 
 
  Announcements & Coming Events

Volunteer  

 
Eastminster has provided Early Evening Hosts for Clifton since 1982. We currently have seven men that participate in this local outreach. We work the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Thursdays of each month. We start around 5:30 to help prepare the men's dinner. Following dinner, we'll wash clothes for the men assisting with dinner and cleanup. Contact Rick Adle at 404-697-0277 if you are interested in helping at Clifton. You will be matched up with someone who is going on a Thursday you're available.
