Community News-Family Promise

Spring greetings! Our next Family Promise week is Sunday, June 30- July 7, which includes the Fourth of July. Since many of you will probably be out of town, I'm going to collect gift cards for the Tuesday, Wed, and Thursday suppers. Please give gift cards for $25 or $50 from fast food places near Beechwood, Alps and Atlanta Highway in that area near Magnolia Terrace. I'll be in church the next two Sundays and then back in church Sunday, June 9. Please notate on the card how much it is so that I can even them out. 

Thanks for your help! Sharon Rockholt
