SERVE

When there is a Fifth Sunday in the month (4 per year) we're going to participate in noisy Sunday. On these Sundays, we're going to invite the congregation to bring all of their loose change for the offering and allow the kids to go around and collect it making ALL the noise they want! All the change collected will go towards a special offering. This month, it will go towards the North Georgia Housing and Homeless Council, so be sure to be here and bring your loose change!

Serve with our Children & Youth!

In the UMC Baptismal Covenant, we are challenged to nurture our kids and students in the life of the Church and the Christian faith. Studies show it takes at least 5 adults beyond their parents to help nurture young people into a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ. Be a part of passing down faith to the next generation by serving with Children or Youth on Sundays and Wednesdays.

It must be a great disappointment to God if we are not dazzled at least ten times a day.
