Friday Fives

1. Preaching Series - This week we are continuing our preaching series entitled, Characters of the Old Testament. This first part of the Bible, is filled with a whole host of people, some of which are very well known, such as Abraham, Moses, Job, and King David to name a few. Others are not too well known, like Balaam, Jochebed, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and Mephibosheth. Each week, for the next four weeks, we will look to these lesser known characters as we try to unpack what part of God may be revealed in the life of these people. This week we will turn to Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, as we look to see God revealed through their courage, example, and faith. I invite you to come, and bring a friend, as we all hear the Word of God proclaimed together!



2. Volunteer Opportunity - The United Way of Marion County has partnered with the Marion County School System and the Early Learning Coalition to provide low reading score students a “Reading Pal”. What is that you might ask? A Reading Pal is a volunteer who has been provided specialized training who goes into the classroom for one hour per week on designated weeks. This volunteer will read to the student, do a prescribed activity and upon completion of reading the book; the child will take the book home to build their own personal library. As an in-school volunteer you will be assigned to a targeted school near your home. For additional information and to register please contact Jan Hathaway at 732-9696 ext. 212 or at jhathaway@uwmc.org




3. New Email Address - Due to issues with AOL, we have created a new church email address, druidhillsocala@gmail.com. Please use this email address for all messages for the church office and for Druid Hills in general. My email address will remain the same. Please make that change now, because in approximately a month, the AOL account will no longer be active.




4. Ocala Health and Rehab - This Sunday we are going to Ocala Health and Rehab for our monthly worship service. We get together with the residents and sing a few hymns, I give a brief devotional, and then we sing some more. You will blessed by the time we share and the prayers we say. I want to invite any one that is willing to come and join us this Sunday, at 2pm, at Ocala Health and Rehab, as we worship with the residents. You will be blessed. I guarantee it!



5. Historian Needed - If you are interested and passionate about recording the important events in the life our church, we have an opportunity for you! We are in need of a church historian to help chronicle the important events in our history. It does not require significant time, just a passion for the mission. If you are interested please see me and we will talk.



Have a great weekend and see you Sunday!
