Georgia Connection - September 2020
"Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." Ecclesiastes 4:12
|
|
2020 is reminding us of the importance of faithfulness and flexibility. People, businesses, and churches all over the world are finding creative ways to pivot and persevere. Georgia Nazarenes, thank you for being so faithful and flexible!
The hope of our Risen Savior, Jesus Christ, inspires and fuels our belief that God will not only help us to survive, but to thrive in and through life’s challenges.
Our resurrection hope leads to holy optimism that believes better and brighter days are ahead!
Let’s celebrate and share this hope of Jesus with the whole world!
You Are Loved!
Pastor Kyle & Julie

District Office Transitions |
|
On Tuesday, August 18, 2020 the Georgia District Advisory Board unanimously approved a proposal to shift the district office space and staff structure.
Starting October 1, 2020, the District Office will no longer operate from the space leased in McDonough. Instead, the District Superintendent, Director of New Church Development, and a part-time Administrative Assistant will work from home and remote offices. Meetings will be held at local churches, Adrian Camp & Conference Center, or other appropriate locations. For now, District Office phone numbers, staff cell numbers, and the District P.O. Box address will remain the same. The District Office staff will be accessible and responsive to your communication and needs.
Watch upcoming District newsletters and announcements for more details regarding the office transition. At this time, please email kpoole@ganaz.org with any questions or comments regarding the transition.

Brenda Williamson Retirement
As part of these District Office transitions, Mrs. Brenda Williamson is retiring as District Administrative Assistant effective Sept. 30, 2020. Brenda loves the Georgia District and has served faithfully and loyally for more than 24 years. Serving with three different District Superintendents, Brenda has always considered her job as a ministry. She and Spud are loved by many and their friendship and contributions are invaluable.
We hope to honor Brenda at a future District gathering. Until then, you are encouraged to express your appreciation with a card and/or note:

Thirty ministers participated in this valuable series on resilience. Videos of Jay's talks (but not the Q & A) are available for GA ministers on the GA Naz Clergy private Facebook group.
