I have loved this position at SSCC. I am sure I received more from all of you than I was able to give back. I am transitioning out of this position at the end of this month in order to spend more time with my family in the coming year. My last day will be February 28^th. It has been a joy to serve this congregation. I want to thank Nathan for this opportunity. His constant support was truly a blessing. Thanks also to my husband Wayne. His support allowed me the opportunity to do something I loved.

Once again this year, each Monday of Lent, we will be sending out a video devotional via e-blast. Each devotional will be based on the previous Sunday's scripture reading. We hope these devotionals deepen your spiritual reflection during this meaningful season.

The Worship, Arts and Education Committee, along with Pastor Nathan, would like to invite you to join us in a commitment to 40 days of prayer during the season of Lent. We hope that you will carve out time, each day during the next 40 days, to pray for Sandy Springs Christian Church and our ministry in 2021. As we live into whatever the new normal might be, we hope you will pray for God’s guidance and direction for our congregation. If you are someone who prefers a guide for your time of prayer, Teddy and Nathan recommend a website called, www.pray-as-you-go.org. It offers 10-12 minute daily devotionals that make space for prayer and reflection. Thank you for praying with and for the people of Sandy Springs Christian Church as a spiritual discipline during Lent!

We are having an all-church study during the season of Lent called, “Everybody, Always” based on the book by Bob Goff. The study aims to help us all love one another, even when we, and the times we are living in, might be difficult. The study will take place through several group options. See below. All studies will be offered via zoom. There will be three groups meeting each Sunday, beginning February 28^th. Look for more information in an e-blast next week with more specific information about how to join each class.

Date and Time: Feb. 28^th at 7:00 p.m., Following Sundays at 5:00 p.m.

On February 17^th, we uploaded our Ash Wednesday Service to our YouTube page for you to view at your convenience.

Along the way, they also discuss God speaking (or not) through a hole in one, behind the scene goofs on producing worship and Casey sings! Please email CaseyEvansSSCC@gmail.com and Nathan@SandySpringsCC.org about wanting to be a guest (or grouping of guests) on future episodes of "SSCConversations!”

Special Note... Be a part of the FIRST "SSCChats" new short form podcast 5-10 minutes! Thank you to Janet and the Visioning Team for already having come up with this NEW short form podcast idea! Casey will spearhead this vision at this time & would love to have a short recorded "Chat" with you! Please email CaseyEvansSSCC@gmail.com if you are interested in "Chatting"!

You can search the movie titles, listed below, on the internet or through your TV service provider to see your best option for viewing. Some of the movies will be free or have a nominal cost depending on whether you subscribe to Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Vudu, etc. Pick a time to view the movie(s) that best fits your schedule, then join us Sunday, February 28th, for the Zoom discussion(s).

The February movie selection for adults is "I Am." According to the trailer, this documentary is the story of a man who had it all, until something happened to make him realize he might have it all wrong! This movie should be thought provoking and inspire some good conversation. The Zoom discussion for this movie will be this Sunday, February 28 at 5:00 P.M. 

The February movie selection for families is "Togo." Advertised as “the true untold story” of a man and his sled dog on an important mission, this movie is sure to be thrilling. The Zoom discussion for this movie will be Sunday, February 28 at 7:00 P.M. In spite of the time crunch with the regularly scheduled Youth meetings, participants agreed Sundays at 7 was the best time for most families.

Barbra Duren, on behalf of the Campbell-Stone North residents, sends a big thank you to SSCC's youth, members and friends, TDS students and all who created home made Valentines for them. The residents expressed their appreciation especially to the young folks for making an effort to make this Valentines Day a special one for them.

Also thanks to Cindi McCollough, our new Outreach Chair who organized the effort and delivered the valentines, chocolates and flowers to Campbell-Stone.

When you give to Week of Compassion, you deploy resources to people in need all around the world. Through sustainable development projects, our partners help provide life-giving water and other critical resources that help communities reinvent and reimagine what is possible. When water comes to a village, people are safer, healthier, and more free to pursue learning and growth, and share more than just water. Let love flow opportunities.

Just a reminder that the Church office will be staffed Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 am - 1:00 pm.

We are also retrieving phone messages remotely each day as well. So feel free to call the church if you need anything or email Amy@sandyspringscc.org if you wish.
