Friday Fives

1. Preaching Series - 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 week we are continuing our preaching series based upon the Apostles' Creed,entitled Christianity 101. 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. This week we will look at the affirmation, "I believe in God, Creator of Heaven and Earth". 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 this 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 the history of this church. If this is of interest to you I hope you will make plans to attend.




3. Spaghetti Dinner - Saturday, May 12th from 11 A.M. - 6 P.M. our Boy Scout Troop is having their Spaghetti Dinner here at the church. The cost is $5 a person and tickets are available in advance or at the door. The dinner will include spaghetti, salad, roll, and dessert. You can either come and dine in the Fellowship Hall or you can come and get it to go. Either way I am sure it will be delicious! Please make plans to come out and support our troop and get some good food to boot!




4. Usher Training - If you are interested in participating in the ministry of ushering during Sunday morning worship, please make plans to attend our next training session on Sunday, May 8th, immediately after worship. We will go over the mission of an usher and the various responsibilities required of a person involved. It will last about 15 minutes and I will be available to answer any questions you may have. If you feel lead to be an usher, there is no need to sign up, just stay after worship and come participate.




5. Librarian and Historian Needed - If you are interested in helping us maintain the fantastic library here at Druid Hills or you are passionate about recording the important events in the life our church, we have an opportunity for you! We are in need of a church librarian to help keep our library organized and a church historian to help chronicle the important events in our history. Neither one requires significant time, just a passion for the job. If you are interested in either position please see me and we will talk.




Have a great weekend and see you Sunday!
