STEWARDSHIP SEASON

It is now the time of year where we think about Stewardship Season. Please be prayerfully considering how you can give to our beloved church financially and resourcefully. We are always in need of volunteers in different areas of our church, and we all have been given gifts from our Lord that we can use to glorify him.

NEW BOOK: THE EXCELLENCIES OF GOD

Mr. Johnson's newest book, The Excellencies of God, has just been released. This new book explores multiple aspects of the divine character of our God and shows how they play a crucial role in our experience as Christians. It can be purchased in the church bookstore or can be bought online here. It will be coming soon to Amazon.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

It’s that time of year again! 100 Operation Christmas Child boxes have been assembled and placed in the Fellowship Hall and Narthex. Take a box, fill it, and return by November 13. Please be sure to place $10 for shipping costs in your box. Make checks payable to Samaritan's Purse, and note on the memo line for Operation Christmas Child. Please do not put the money for this in the offering plate. Put a label for boy/girl and the appropriate age on top of the box. Contact Sarah Miles if you have questions at 912-656-8164.
