Friday Fives

1. Preaching Series - This Sunday we will begin a new preaching series focusing on the Ten Commandments.  Each week for the next five weeks we will take a portion, see what they have to say to us now in this era, and wrap the series up by looking at Christ's response to these Mosiac Laws.  This week we going to begin by taking a look at the Sabbath; specifically what it is, why we need to observe, and ways we can practice it.  Invite a friend and I hope to see all of you there!

2. Scout Sunday - Next Sunday, February 13th, we will celebrate Scout Sunday.  Each of the scouting troops that we sponsor will take part in the service as we take this chance to show our scouts how proud we are of them.  I encourage you to come on out and support these young people in a time of worship and celebration.  Mark your calendars and I hope to see you there!

3. Bible Study – Next week we will continue our Bible Study called, When Christians Get It Wrong, by Adam Hamilton.

Have you ever wondered why people do not go or have stopped going to church? Have you ever considered that it may be because of the people inside? Please join me in this study as we examine those attitudes and beliefs that drive people away.

As followers of Christ our impact can be so much stronger when we get it right. To this point we have looked at when Christians get it wrong, how to speak about science and politics, how to speak to people of other faith traditions, and our response when things go bad. Next week we will look at the issue of homosexuality. Please join me in learning how we can be advocates and rather than stumbling blocks in bring people to Christ.

This study meets every Thursday through February 17th. We will meet in the Fellowship Hall at 11AM and if that does not fit your schedule I will offer it again at 7PM as well. I hope you will come and join us in what is always a great time of learning and fun!

4. Salty Service - A few months back I asked everyone to consider joining up together in groups to venture out and visit some of the residents in the many assisted living and rehab facilities around our church. There are many people there that get no visitors, and we are so good with fellowship, I see a need and a spiritual gift that can easily be paired up. I wanted to give everyone an update on how this budding ministry is progressing. We have three members that have reached out and began weekly visits to three different facilities. We also have a group of people that have formed to begin visits with a fifth facility. We have several contacts at area facilities, all we need is volunteers. Many people make light work. If you are willing to spend just a few hours a month visiting with people and sharing the love of Christ please contact the office and we can help you get connected. Please consider reaching out to the people in our area and let them know we care and in the name of Jesus Christ that they are loved.


5. Wanna Help? – Have you been looking for a way to volunteer here at Druid Hills? Are you just not sure where to start or who to ask? On February 20th and 27th we will host a Ministry Fair here at the church. We will open up all the volunteer ministries of the church and give all of you a chance to sign up and get connected. After worship stay for lunch and take a trip around all the displays to see where you feel God leading you to volunteer.

Have an incredible weekend and see you Sunday!
