As the church opens back up on June 27th, we are so excited to begin our children's programs as well! We are going to JAM all summer long with art, science, recreation and water games.

Immediately following service on 6/27, 7/11, 7/25, and 8/1, our kids from Preschool (age 3, potty trained) through 5th grade are invited to participate in J.A.M./VBS combo.

We will meet in Dunlap Hall from 11:15 am - 1:30 pm. At each JAM we will still have bible stories and a snack/lunch and also t-shirts for each child, but we will also have a focus for each JAM session:

There will be no cost and you can come to any or all of the events.  Click here to sign up!

For over a year, we did not sing together in worship. We were singing with our families and friends in front of a television or computer screen. We were humming along to the tune, in the sanctuary. We were listening to our leaders sing. On June 27^th, for the first time since March of 2020, we will be able to sing the hymns of our faith, as a congregation and choir, without protocols. What better way to spend the first few Sundays of this gift with a series in worship that highlights your favorites! Therefore, for the last month we have been compiling these hymns, along with your stories about them, in order that they might be used in worship. Through this series we plan to rediscover how God, among other things, is present, reminds, gives voice and challenges through song. We hope you will make plans to be part of this special series at SSCC. Let’s come together and make a joyful noise!

Here’s the link to the Sign-Up Genius with the quantities yet needed. Please use it to record your donation. Please tag your donations with your name and deliver items to the church by this Sunday, June 20th. If you have any questions, please email Cindi McCollough at csbfish@bellsouth.net. Thank you.

To help celebrate Back to Church Sunday, the Outreach team has put together two different volunteer activities for you to participate in. Take your kids to J.A.M. ALL SUMMER activities in Dunlap Hall, then join us in the lobby for the opportunities listed below. After we are done, we will share a pizza lunch. Please sign up by Saturday, June 26 at 10:00 am so we know how many to plan for.

On behalf of the Welcome Back Team, it is my pleasure to welcome you back!!

Last Sunday, June 16, Trudy Stiber officially joined SSCC. Trudy writes, "I grew up in Augusta, GA. After graduating from Georgia Southern in Statesboro, I moved to Athens, GA in December 1966 and lived, worked (at EPA) and raised my two children there. In June 2014, I moved to East Cobb to be close to my daughter and her two children. Over these past years, I have been searching for a church that was open, welcome, non-judgmental and found Sandy Springs Christian Church. I feel so comfortable and welcome here."

From Dottie Gill, "Congratulations to Phillip and Dianna Higgins, who were married on Wednesday, June 10, 2021. Dianna is the daughter of Dottie Gill and Sister to Elizabeth Adrion.

We welcome Phillip to our little family and look forward to welcoming Riley Thomas Paul Higgins in August. Best wishes to the happy couple."
