Sympathy

Kingdom Prayer Focus

Lord, we pray that you will give us a greater vision of who you are. You are positioning us for your end-time harvest. Breathe your life into ours. Your mighty power is shown through our weakness. We acknowledge our dependence on you and thank You that impossibilities in our lives give you freedom to work. Help us to walk in a new level of trust in You. You have plans to prosper us and to give us hope and a future. Help us to understand Your supremacy, Your sovereignty, and Your glory. Help us to align with You and make Your presence the central theme of our church body. "The Lord reigns, he is robed in majesty—Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea—the LORD on high is mighty" (Psalm 93:1-4). In Jesus name, amen.

Call or text Lorene Avery at 706-994-7811 to volunteer, or email  [email protected]

SOUPS ON - A LOVE DOES MINISTRY
A new ministry, “Soups On!” is looking to provide an opportunity to minister to anyone who would be blessed with a brief visit and a simple meal of soup and muffin. This gesture of kindness could be extended to someone recently home from the hospital; someone needing a respite from caregiving; a new neighbor as a welcome or in an outreach effort in our community. So if you like to cook, have a favorite recipe and would enjoy the fellowship of group cooking, sign up at the Welcome Desk, and watch for details for our “Cooking Up a Party” event to fill the freezer for Soups On!

Operation Christmas Child SHOEBOX Distribution Center | 12/13
