DEACON RECOMMENDATIONS
McConnell Church members - it’s time to submit your recommendations for the office of deacons for the coming year. Our deacons serve for terms of three years after having been nominated and elected by the church. Nominees must be a McConnell church member for at least one year and meet the biblical requirements for serving. Paper recommendation forms are available at the Welcome Desk or, if you prefer, you can make your recommendations online. The deadline to make your recommendation is Sunday, June 20th.

GraceWorks Ministry Info
GraceWorks is a service to people in the community and our church family who need home repairs they can’t afford or can’t do themselves. Volunteers provide light carpentry, rubbish clean-up, and other “odds and ends” and “handyman” work in order to create a safe living environment. Typical recipients are low-income senior citizens who no longer have the ability, physically or financially, to care for their residences. How can you get involved? Send an email expressing your interest to David Elliott at [email protected]  and we will provide a skills assessment form for you to fill out.  If you know someone who needs help, please contact the church office at 706-896-2281 and they will forward the information.
