This Sunday, April 30, we will be meeting in House Churches.
There will be a small group meeting at the church building in the courtyard at 10:30 AM if you do not have a place to go. 

 
Giving Opportunities

  Dear Church Family,
Thank you for your prayers and donation to my school project in Liberia, West Africa. The school is 90% complete. By God’s grace, we will open in September 2023. Funds are still needed. Presently, I am looking for tablets for student use. If you or someone you know has devices to donate, it would be deeply appreciated. I will setup an area at church for collection or you can contact me. 
Sincerely yours,
Marva Cheapoo

 Please consider supporting our own Bryce Carman’s hope drive to raise funds for Lydia’s Place. Lydia’s Place is a not-for -profit organization based in Athens whose mission is to help students who have aged out of the foster care system or face homelessness in their path to independence. Recurring donations go directly toward supporting the housing costs and basic living needs of these kids (age 17-24). The money raised will also support the training and mentorship that these students need to connect to long-term job opportunities, develop healthy skills, habits, and coping mechanisms so they can be successful independent adults who raise healthy families. For more information about Lydia’s Place, you can visit lydias-place.com. To make a donation, go to https://vqr.vc/7ZBYpCgXE.
