A Thought about Preparing for Worship
"If we all come to church with the attitude of being a contributor, it will totally transform our services of worship.” (Nicky Gumbel) Part of the DNA of Good News Church GA is for our Sunday worship gatherings to be interactive with sharing not just from the pastor, but also from the people. Everyone's voice and life experiences matter! So, we'd encourage you to prepare for worship by thinking (ahead of time) about what you might share (which, by the way, is completely optional, no pressure at all to share). "When you gather to worship, each of you be prepared with something that will be useful for all." (1 Corinthians 14:26) In preparation for Sunday, be thinking about:
- What's some good news (a highlight) to share from this past week?
- What's a Bible verse that jumped out in my reading this week?
NOT MEETING: Lunch After Church
We're not organizing lunch after church this Sunday because we have The Good News Story on Sunday evening (5pm), includes dinner. We'd definitely encourage anyone interested in having lunch together to go and enjoy.
The Good News Story - THIS Sunday, February 5 (5pm - 7:30pm)
Seven years ago, Drue was at a workshop and the question was asked, "If you knew you couldn't fail, what would you do?" Drue wrote down his answer in less than 30 seconds and that was the first seed planted of Good News Church GA! Come hear his answer and the story of how Good News Church started, what we’re about, where we’re going, what we believe, and if you're interested, how to become connected as a community or covenant partner. Dinner is included, so it would help if you could RSVP here to Laura.

NEW! Women's Connect - Thursday, February 9 (7pm - 9pm)
Join us as we put together Valentines baggies to be delivered to the Pruitt Health Assisted Living and other widows / widowers in our community. We'll have all the materials for the Valentines. Bring $5 for pizza and enjoy good company while putting the baggies together. We'll meet at the Good News Church Hillside Retreat House (5879 Hillside Farm Rd., Sugar Hill, GA 30518). NOTE: The Women’s Connect monthly activities are for all women and young ladies from middle and high school and older. For more information, email Rachel Souza.
Join us in reading the Bible!
It's been said that the greatest predictor of a person's healthy spiritual life is the regular (daily) practice of reading the Bible. We believe it's one of the most important things we can do to connect to the heart of God and walk in relationship with Jesus. We also have found that one of the best resources available to help in this endeavor is Bible in One Year. It's an amazing (and free) resource! Download it via the APP Store and read and/or listen to the audio scripture and helpful explanations each day. Many of us at Good News Church GA are using Bible in One Year. Come join us!
-----------------------------------
VISION & VALUES
The vision of Good News Church GA is "to experience and express LOVE from God to others." The verse that undergirds our vision is Galatians 5:5b, “The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.” We value people, community, relationships, prayer, and Bible reading. We also value being able to be yourself. We’re all struggling with something, so there’s no need to pretend that we have it all together.
MISSION
The mission of Good News Church GA is "to connect with people and build relationships through community workshops, neighborhood-focused ministry, serving local needs, mentoring, and worship."
Need a daily Bible reading plan? Drue's favorite is the Bible in One Year APP
