A "MUSICAL" NOTE FROM SUSAN
Happy Summer everyone!
Our music ministry would not function without all the amazing musicians, singers, volunteers and helpers. During the summer, our music ministry takes time to reset, revive and refresh as we plan for the fall and year to come. This is a perfect time to think about getting involved as August rolls around! "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!"
If you are a singer or instrumentalist and would like to offer your talents to support our music ministry I would love to hear from you. I know there are some members who play instruments, love to sing and may be hesitant to share their talents for different reasons. There is a place for everyone here in our SSCC music ministry and I would be happy to hear from you regardless of your experience level. We are a family and all are welcome.
Please don't hesitate to contact me via email (susan@sandyspringscc.org or text (404.431.8447). We have so many needs and you may not even know that you could be the answer to a prayer!
Have a wonderful rest of the summer.
Susan

Dear Church
A Sermon Series on Paul’s letter to the Galatians
While Paul’s letter to the Galatians addresses the specific circumstances of that time, he may as well have been writing to the Church today. After all, the Galatians are wrestling with how to be church in a rapidly changing world. They are trying to figure out what to prioritize during significant change. They are polarized and need a path forward. The Church is becoming something new. Sound familiar? As we worship together, let’s listen for wisdom from Paul as he addresses both the church of yesterday and the church of today through a series we are calling, “Dear Church,.”
