Friday Fives

1. Preaching Series - We are beginning a new preaching series this week based upon the Apostles' Creed, entitled Christianity 101. Do you know the Apostles' Creed? Can you say the Apostles' Creed from memory? More importantly, do you know what each phrase of the Apostles' Creed means? This creed is full of meaning, steeped in theology, and foundational for who we are not only as Protestants, but as United Methodists. During this nine week series, we will take this creed, piece by piece, and examine what it is we are truly saying when we recite it. My prayer is that this will not only deepen your knowledge, but strengthen your faith as well. Bring a friend and come join us, as we all learn together!




2. New Member Class - On Sunday, May 20th at 12:45 P.M., I will host a new member class in my office. If you have been attending Druid Hills for at least three months and would like to take that next step in becoming a member of this church this class is for you! To register for his class, either call the church office at 629-5688, or email me at daryl.allen@flumc.org. This is a one session get together where we will discuss what it means to be a United Methodist, what it means to be a member of Druid Hills, and offer you a little background on history of this church. If this of interest to you I hope you will make plans to attend.




3. 2012 General Conference - Starting next week, Tuesday, April 24th, General Conference will begin in Tampa. This body is the decision making body of our denomination. Hundreds of people, our elected delegated, will gather to determine the direction of our church for the next four years. Please be in prayer for the people involved that they would be guided by the Holy Spirit, open to the will of God, and faithful to our Lord's leadings.





4. Church Historian - Do you have a eye for history? Do you enjoy preserving important events in the life of the church, through word and picture? Then we can use you. We are in need of a church historian. The position is not time consuming, just in need of someone that is passionate. If you are interested please see me and we can talk.





5. Librarian Needed - Did you know that we here at Druid Hills have a fantastic library? There is an absolute vast assortment of books and the topics covered within its shelves. However, we need some help in keeping it organized. If you would like to help with its upkeep and with the adding of the donated books we have received, please let the church office know. This resource is a tremendous asset to our church and one we all can use!



Have a great weekend and see you Sunday!
